Creative laborers refer to those who rely on the creativity and imagination of the subject to create value in the process of labor production. The core value of the products created by creative laborers is creativity, regardless of whether the carrier is tangible or intangible. However, the dominant economic model in the contemporary society is based on capital. Capital not only requires creative laborers to cater to market needs, but also takes advantage of intellectual property rights to possess the products of creative work, and puts creative laborers in the contradictory “prisoner dilemma”. Faced with the difficulties, creative laborers should adhere to Marx's all-round critical theory of capitalism, unite the global creative laborers, and form an effective and powerful combination to fight against the exploitation of capital.
