The attempt to provoke revolutionary change is often framed as a failure as the "cracks in the edifice" are often quite small. Marcuse reminds us not to be so cynical in our analysis of 1968, to understand where the potential for a larger movement was arrested, and hints at how we might move forward. I'm not sure about Marcuse's choice in the end to focus on Obama as an agent of change, though of course I would welcome it.
