Switching the Source of Evil

Here is Marcuse's greatest contribution to our world - switch the source of evil from inside the human acting on society TO society acting on the human. This is precisely why we see society being dismantled and ponerized at an ever increasing rate. Change society in order to change humanity. Remember all the great Joker lines from the most recent Batman movie?


This is similar to the difference between Hegel and Marx, as I described in a recent post, where Hegel is all about the individual using the dialectic to explore their world, whereas Marx is all about using societal dialectical [manufactured] forces ON the individual to shape the individual and therefore further shape society.

Thank you for all of this recent material, which though I have not commented on, I am reading (and saving) to increase my understanding. It's a lot to understand ....

Thanks C1.
