Marcuse conflated natural-right resistance with manipulation of consciousness and education.
Evidence
It could not be correct to demand the replacement of the
hidden censorship' that permeated the media by an open form ofpre-censorship’. Behind such ideas in Marcuse there seemed to lie a mistaken transferral of the concept of a natural right to resistance into the field of consciousness, upbringing and education. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 647
