Marcuse’s works form a series of systematic critiques built on Marx’s theory

Evidence

In Reason and Revolution (1941) Marcuse had attempted systematically to snatch Hegel from the hands of reaction and fascism and demonstrate that Marx’s social theory was the heir to the critical tendencies in Hegel’s philosophy. … Later on, the product of his fellowships at the Russian Institute at Columbia University and the Russian Research Center at Harvard was Soviet Marxism (1958), a systematic critique of Soviet Marxist ideology which took Marx’s theory as its yardstick. In One-Dimensional Man (1964) he attempted a systematic critique of the ideology of advanced industrial society. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 525
