Marcuse on Morality as a Political Weapon

"Morality is not necessarily and not primarily ideological. In the face of an amoral society, it becomes a political weapon, an effective force which drives people to burn their draft cards, to ridicule national leaders, to demonstrate in the streets, and to unfold signs saying, 'Thou shalt not kill,' in the nation's churches."

Herbert Marcuse, "A Biological Foundation for Socialism?" An Essay on Liberation (Boston: Beacon Press, 1971), p. 8.
