Marcuse was the idol of the French New Left in the early sixties. By the eighties he was no long influential in North America.
From my own experience I came to the FS quite late in the mid eighties when the Lacan and Beaudrillard were the latest fashion.
I found French writing of the period to be completely hostile to rational thought and in fact nihilistic.
Not to mention both Lacan and Beadrillard were gay and Lacan died of aids. The notion that all narratives have equal value is equivalent to 'all behavior has equal value'. In the context of AIDS this is not just false but lethal.
As far as the FS is concerned I think Marxism entered its theological faze in the early fifties.
In short Marx's incorporation of Hegelian Dialectic into the notion of dialetcical materialism put an end to Marx as a serious historian and philosopher.

you are assuredly welcome.
I find your musings often too deep for rapid assimilation, but well worth the effort.

Thank you for the encouragement! But it appears I must do better at making my points because most Freepers don't seem to have the luxury of time to unravel words.

Both the left and the right have claimed Nietzsche but he was never a party animal... (well, ok... maybe once at Wagner's place)

Doc is on here sometimes - tell her yourself :)
I'd be embarrassed to tell her that myself.

To: Blind Eye Jones
Actually, I don't know anyone on the right who claims Nietzsche, unless you're willing to accept the left's definition of right as anyone who opposed international socialism and consider the socialist Nazis as right, which, frankly I'm not: socialists are left, period.

There, it shifted its focus from destroying traditional Western culture in Germany to destroying it in the United States. To do so, it invented "Critical Theory." What is the theory? To criticize every traditional institution, starting with the family, brutally and unremittingly, in order to bring them down. It wrote a series of "studies in prejudice," which said that anyone who believes in traditional Western culture is prejudiced, a "racist" or "sexist" of "fascist" - - and is also mentally ill. What does this have a ring of familiarity?
