Collective Sigh. Though Marcuse claims to be basically Marxist, he has also fallen under attack in the Soviet Union, where the wave of European student revolutions has met with anything but comradely applause.

...classic Marxist fashion, the political "superstructure" would scramble to catch up to a profound change in the economic structure. However, the men who will preside over that change are characters who would horrify any respectable Marxist: the bankers of Western Europe and North America. It makes you wonder, at times, whether capitalism doesn't still have a few more useful functions to fulfill...
