"The economic convulsions that wracked western societies...were seen at the time, by most Marxists, as being the breakdown of the capitalist system, which Marxist theory had always predicted. However, whereas according to the theory, this was supposed to lead to communism, in not one single such western society did communist regimes emerge, what did emerge in several of them was fascism." Bryan Magee opens in this discussion with Herbert Marcuse, and I am left wondering what Marcuse would think about the world today. One point of humour for me was to see that the Frankfurt school was so concerned with unconstrained penetration of the state into the economy, and today it appears that the reverse is what is so unbearable.
