Dutschke replaced Marxist emancipatory tendency with voluntarism and attacked Habermas
Evidence
In Hanover, Dutschke declared that Habermas’s orthodox Marxist viewthat it was not sufficient for the idea to penetrate through to reality, reality must also penetrate through to the ideawas long since out of date. Dutschke radicalized Marcuse’s view that technological progress created new needs once the reality principle which enforced privation had been superseded, to produce what he called a new voluntarism. He put the emphasis on the will, instead of on an emancipatory tendency concealed within socio-economic development. He accused Habermas of representing a concept-free objectivism that destroyed the subject it was supposed to be emancipating. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 653
