Description
Summary:This study examines the relationship between labor perceptions and electoral preferences among digital platform delivery workers in Mexico City. It problematizes three widely discussed ideas in the literature on platform-controlled work. First, it investigates the extent to which these occupations exacerbate individualistic and proto-entrepreneurial identities among workers. Subsequently, it analyzes how labor circumstances may foster a libertarian ideological prefiguration in line with the theses of "neoliberalism from below" (Gago, 2015) and the authoritarian populism of the precarized working classes (Pinheiro-Machado, 2023). Finally, it explores whether the ideological inclinations of these workers reflect right-wing electoral preferences linked to this type of occupation.
