"#GabrielRockhill’s polemic against #WesternMarxism seeks to condemn a set of postwar left-wing intellectuals such as #HerbertMarcuse. Heavy on innuendo but light on evidence, the result is more like a show trial than a serious political indictment."

Mark Fisher | Acid Communism (Unfinished Introduction)

"Populations are resigned to the sadness of work, even as they are told that automation is making their jobs disappear. We must regain the optimism of that Seventies moment, just as we must carefully analyse all the machineries that capital deployed to convert confidence into dejection. Understanding how this process of consciousness-deflation worked is the first step to reversing it."

....Marcuse engaged in a wide ranging discussion of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and of his own work in an interview with Bryan Magee for the BBC series Men of Ideas:

The Frankfurt School - Herbert Marcuse & Bryan Magee (1977)

Of course Marcuse's claims can be questioned, but more than half a century later his ideas and those of his Frankfurt School colleagues remain a vital resource for critical engagement with society.

In Defense of the Frankfurt School
By Mike Watson
The Frankfurt School, a group of theorists who grappled with the defeat of Europe's revolutionary left, are often misunderstood. Critics charge them with obscurantism and elitism. They argued that, on the contrary, it was capitalism that obfuscated reality.

Democracy with Totalitarianism Organisation

Today, we live in the logic of the following essay which pushed for Democracy with Totalitarianism Organisation:

Repressive Tolerance by Herbert Marcuse.

Repressive Tolerance was written in 1965 and is an exemplar foretaste of the political climate which operates today. Simply put, ‘It seems rooted in the idea that, if you feel morally superior there’s nothing you can’t do to others, and they must step out of the way or be punished‘. Hence ‘cancel culture ‘, atonement (even encouragement) of ANTIFA’s protests and violence despite COVID; push for Mass Formation by the mainstream – common in Totalitarian states in the early 20th Century and the scourge towards disparaging and obstructing those choosing to be unvaccinated are testament to these kinds of theorists and are just the tip of the iceberg of what have seen in recent times. One of Marxists’ favorite words to project onto their enemies is “mystification.” Everyone, they insist, who isn’t on board with their twisted program is “mystified” about the true nature of reality, which they have, of course, discovered and delineated in unique clarity (in their own estimation, anyway).

James Linday says, ‘I want people to come in contact with this and engage it and understand it. It’s very important to realise this is what we are living in. If you can realise it, you can see it. And if you can understand it, you can explain it.’

Colours of Light

What colours does white light contain?

All the colours of the spectrum (as seen through a prism). The infrared light at hot end and and ultraviolet light at cold end. All three primary colours add together make white light: red + green + blue = white. White light is actually made of all of the colours of the rainbow because it contains all wavelengths, and it is described as polychromatic light. Light from a torch or the Sun is a good example of this.

"Die Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit kann gefährliche Einsichten aufkommen lassen, und die etablierte Gesellschaft scheint die subversiven Inhalte des Gedächtnisses zu fürchten." #HerbertMarcuse

"Remembering the past can bring up dangerous insights, and established society seems to fear the subversive content of memory." #HerbertMarcuse

#HerbertMarcuse – Der eindimensionale Mensch.

Die Begriffe der «Negation» und der «großen Verweigerung» sind zentral zum Verständnis des Theoretikers Herbert Marcuse, der seit Mitte der 1960er Jahre durch die Bewegung der Neuen Linken weltweit bekannt wurde.

Wie kann #Marcuse heute bei der Analyse und Kritik der Verhältnisse helfen? Dies diskutiert Alex Demirović in der 28. Folge des #tldrPodcast mit Thomas Ebermann, Publizist und Theatermacher.
