How to evaluate the viewpoint of "one-dimensional person"?

"One-dimensional people" only know material enjoyment and lose spiritual pursuit, only have material desires but no soul, only succumb to reality and cannot criticize it, that is, simply accept reality, blindly accept reality and fully integrate themselves into reality.

One-dimensional person has therefore become a popular term. "Dimension" means "dimension" in English and can also be translated into "aspect" or "dimension".

One-dimensional people are people who have no critical spirit to society and blindly agree with reality. Such people will not pursue a higher life, or even have the ability to imagine a better life.

Marcuse believes that it is the developed capitalist society that causes one-dimensional people. Such a society is totalitarian, suppressing different opinions and voices and suppressing people's denial and criticism of the status quo.

Marcuse thinks that totalitarianism in developed capitalist society is different from the past. In the past, totalitarianism used terror and violence, and those who did not obey the government and authorities would be thrown into prison, persecuted and even killed. However, modern totalitarian society lies in the existence of opposing factions and opinions.

Marcuse explained that this opposition is only superficial, just like America's * * * and the Party and the Democratic Party. Although the two factions struggle for power and profit, they are all capitalist parties after all and do not oppose the capitalist system. For example, in western society, the masses can demonstrate, but only against some specific measures of the government, not against the social system. There is even a police "protection" next to it to prevent accidents.
