18 The term Protean is not being employed as a surrogate for species-being. I have resorted to the use of metaphor to clearly illustrate and to emphasize the autonomous character of human freedom in Marx, as opposed to its social character, which is more properly distinguished by “species-being,” “species life,” or “species-consciousness.” See Bottomore's fn. 2 in his edition of Early Writings, 13.

Note, too, in this passage, the deliberate equation between “machinery” (automation), “setting free” the workman, and freedom from providing for a “means of subsistence.” In other words, automation under communism or socialism becomes singularly responsible for man's liberation from utilitarian labour.
