      Because he worked for the CIA, and spread the brain rot of neo marxism, that in turn led to the woke nightmare we now find ourselves in.

      one can press the three dots at the right (ha ha) of the save button (below the video) and there you'll get the option to show autogenerated by youtube transcript, then copy and paste. May be not the best of transcriptions and you would have to make-it-up (ha ha) but sure is more than nothing.

      Jehova Is almighty You think we have a capitalist system? You’re wrong. The free market got sabotaged by the Trans National Security Elite and their centralized war criminal lobbyist syndicate. Centralized banking is the 5th tennent of Marx’s Communist Manifesto. Now that the ruling class saboteurs have sucked the free market private sector dry, machine establishment operatives have tricked you into to joining collectivist ideological camps who wrongly blame, “Capitalism.” Now you want to give the saboteurs more centralized power to control equity? The people at the top calling the shots will substitute one brand of the current toxic centralization with just another brand of even more toxic centralization. THE SOLUTION IS DECENTRALIZATION! THE SOLUTION IS TO RESTORE THE FREE MARKET AND PERMANENTLY MANDATE PREVENTING ANY FORM OF CENTRALIZED BANKING OR TOO BIG TO FAIL CORPORATE LOBBYIST PARASITES.

      Marcuse discusses at the beginning, "radical change. And by radical change I do not mean change within the society but change of the society as a whole, and its replacement by another form of society." That includes, but is not limited to, capitalism.

    As a college student in the late 60's & early 70's, walking around, with a copy of " Reason & Revolution" was an absolute necessity, if one considered oneself a " revolutionary". I was not such a person; no-----Instead of Marcuse, I always had a novel by Hermann Hesse . Among those of us " serious " students, it was either Marcuse or it was Hesse, take your pick. As I struggled to understand Hegel or Marx, much less Professor Marcuse, I found Hesse's novels far more entertaining, & " meaningful". I'll admit, I did ATTEMPT to read " Reason & Revolution", but found it impossible to follow, or grasp in any systematic way. Besides, Hesse was far more entertaining ! -----Ohhhhhh, those WERE, the days !! ----------------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

      I certainly encourage reading Hesse. And Lessing. And Goethe. And Zweig...and so on. However, these are the literary counterparts to the philosophical investigations of Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Marx.
      I read your comment under a comment I left under another video. I am baffled that anyone would find Marcuse incomprehensible. He is one of the clearest writers I have ever encountered and this includes the one you mentioned, Hesse. I really don't find Marcuse harder to read than him.

    We need more people to hear this, if nothing more than to let them know we have findamental options by which to solve our problems. It seems that the world of greed may be coming to an end, since with climate change and scarce resources we will need to focus on more basic problems.

      That is reductionist. Should we judge the one part as the whole? Washington and Jefferson owned slaves - is that all we should judge them by?

      @bunangst8415 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeffrey A. Jackson me a, “Reductionist?” No. You’re the reductionist spouting pure ignorance. Herbert Marcuse is on record for getting far too many things wrong. Anyone who praises Mao and his Red Guard for any reason is a sadistic lunatic. Judging that, “One thing,” is fairly historically significant.

    • @bunangst8415
      @bunangst8415 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeffrey A. Jackson Washington and Jeffersonian CHRISTIANS actually initiated the worldwide abolishment of the institution of slavery!
      1. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed giving human rights endowed by, “A Creator.”
      2. In 1777 Vermont banned slavery as they became a state.
      3. In 1787 to follow Vermont, a mandate to outlaw slavery in all new State Constitutions failed by only one vote due to one official getting too sick to travel.
      4. By 1804 slavery was outlawed in the Northern Territory of America.
      5. Soon England spent far more than 22 million pounds, (Many trillions in resources today), on paying slave owners to free slaves.
      6. The British and German Navy spent many millions more toward abolishing slavery. They relentlessly patrolled the oceans to fight slave traders and board their ships to free slaves. Many of the slave traders were executed on site with no trial.
      7. Countless lives were lost in this fight to end slavery in America, Europe, Brazil, Middle East, and Asia. But if it wasn’t for Jeffersonian Christians in America sparking this movement to end of slavery, this barbaric worldwide practice of slavery would have persisted longer or perhaps not been abolished at all. Black, brown and white people fought side by side and died to end slavery!
      8. Ironically, the only place slavery could never be abolished even to this day is Africa. Africans had enslaved far more of their own people than they sold to American colonists.
      So it looks like you’re wrong about everything. To say your arguments are deeply flawed would be an understatement.
