I actually prefer Marcuse to Adorno by a long shot. The older that Marcuse
got, the more radical he got. Here's a defense of Marcuse that I wrote:

Here's a review of Adorno-Horkheimer's "Dialectics of Enlightenment":

You're asking the wrong guy basically. I view Western Marxism as a
departure from revolutionary theory, mostly because it detaches theory not
only from strategy, but from a class perspective as well. It has basically
created a sanitized version of Marxism suitable for chit-chat at Ivy League
universities like Columbia University where I work.
In the USA, "Social Text" is the journal most involved with breathing life
into the Frankfurt School project. Unfortunately, their website does not
contain sample articles: http://www.nyu.edu/pubs/socialtext/
