INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM CAPITALISM: externalizations, syntheses and resistances

Contrary to the theses of post-industrial society, this article argues that digital platforms simultaneously synthesize the radicalization and spread of industrial productive logic. When analyzing platform capitalism and its mechanisms of product externalization, the text considers platforms as just the tip of the iceberg and empirical evidence of the development of industrial logic, of the production of goods (product or service, material and/or immaterial, tangible or intangible). It is, therefore, an industrial platform capitalism . As an ongoing process, it tends to spread labor platformization and its conditions of labor exploitation, disenfranchised labor relations that, in turn, face resistance by the workers, laying bare the perversion of platformized work.
