Marcuse joined anti-imperialist and anti-industrial critiques into one theory of domination.

Evidence

Marcuse combined the radicalism of a critique of imperialism with the radicalism of a critique of advanced industrial society. Even at the centres of this society, actual violence dominated, and society as a whole was in the most extreme danger. His conclusions seemed to be valid both for those oppressed by the United States as a world power and for those thrust into subjugation by the United States as an advanced industrial society; both for those who took up the struggle against the repressive system out of solidarity with minorities or peoples deprived of their rights and subjected to oppression, and for those who did so simply out of opposition to the system. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 646
