Not every problem someone has with his girlfriend is necessarily due to the capitalist mode of production.
From Herbert Marcuse
The criterion for free choice can never be an absolute one, but neither is it entirely relative.
Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another.
Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.
That which is cannot be true.
The web of domination has become the web of Reason itself, and this society is fatally entangled in it.
The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.
Under the rule of a repressive whole, liberty can be made into a powerful instrument of domination.
The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual.
At the highest stage of capitalism, the most necessary revolution appears as the most unlikely one.
