Laburpena

In this article we suggest that it is possible to develop a marxist transhumanism movement that exceeds actual individualistic and pro-capitalist prism on transhumanism. Also, we suggest transhumanism can serve to revitalize marxist materialism on this XXIst Century and for the future. It could even be said that marxism is, essentially, transhumanist on its foundations, even when it defines posthumans as New Men, or Men Made In Property. And it could even be said that transhumanism, in essence, is marxist. In this article, we present a historical cartography of inherent class relations on techno-scientific development, and try to show the ideological impact that these relations had made on transhumanists. We describe actual tranhumanism as transcapitalism, and analyze the theoretical influences on it, proposing a theoretical itinerary for marxist transhumanism, from Marx to more contemporary authors that would pave its political and philosophical roots. In addition, we define transcapitalism as BTA-politics -anatomopolitics, thanatopolitics and biopolitics- in the sense of Michel Foucault. Finally, we propose that it is precisely the inherent contradictions on current transcapitalism what set the path for the construction of marxist transhumanism.
