Marcuse frames his thesis as a projection of tendencies, not a universal description

Evidence

My analysis is focused on tendencies in the most highly developed contemporary societies. There are large areas within and without these societies where the described tendencies do not prevail—I would say: not yet prevail. I am projecting these tendencies and I offer some hypotheses, nothing more. — Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man, 102
