As the foundational work of historical materialism, The German Ideology, centered on the material production practice of "real individuals," critiques Feuerbach's abstract materialism and the Young Hegelians' idealistic illusions, revealing the historical law that "social being determines social consciousness." This paper, based on the practical philosophy of The German Ideology, analyzes the technological upgrading of digital labor alienation and the ideological manipulation behind "amusement to death," attempting to reconstruct the Marxist critique path of technological capitalism. The study shows that digital technology has not liberated labor; instead, it has intensified human "dehumanization" through platform algorithms, data monopolies, and the entertainment industry. Only by returning to "revolutionary practice" can the dual shackles of technological alienation and entertainment illusion be broken. The paper unfolds from three dimensions: philosophical critique, realistic analysis, and liberation paths, combining digital labor cases and entertainment industry critiques, proposing a dual practical strategy of "technological democratization" and "cultural resistance.".
