Bridging the Digital Divide Between the Left and Capitalism, an Urgent Mission for Left Movements
The left today faces a deep digital gap against a technologically advanced capitalism that uses artificial intelligence and data to control consciousness and dominate society. The digital sphere is no longer neutral; it has become a class battlefield. Overcoming this challenge requires the left to develop new organizational and intellectual tools and adopt a clear digital vision. Artificial intelligence is not a threat in itself, but its monopolization by capitalist powers reinforces exploitation. The task is to transform technology into a tool of liberation that serves justice, equality, democracy, and socialist transformation.

I don't like this usurping of the term "Digital Divide". That term has always meant: the division of those with digital literacy to operate and integrate in today's modern computerized world VS those that do not have technical knowledge and are increasingly left out of resources and opportunities as a result.
Repurposing the term "Digital Divide" means the groups lacking digital literacy are having their entire concern erased from the public consciousnesses. These folks are often the most marginalized already, and doing this to them is a further disservice in our society.
