Marxism, Biology, Vitalism

Just as Smith conceives humans as distinguished from other animals by a propensity to barter, for Marx, it is manufacturing processes that specifies the race. Hence, Biology is the general category of Economic activity in both cases, as well as the ground of their differentiation. Similarly, as distinguished from the traditional concept of it as inert, Marx's concept of Matter is as inherently animated, and, hence, as Biological substance, i. e. Dialectical Materialism is a Biological principle. Finally, by accordingly defining the human species as Homo Faber, as opposed to the traditional Homo Sapiens, Marx implicitly attributes Labor to it as its universal characteristic, from which his thesis that the Proletariat is the universal class easily follows. So, since, Biological concepts are at the heart of Marxism, some variety of Vitalism is an immanent principle in it, and is not an extrinsic interpretation superimposed on it.
