That sounds a lot like Marcuse's theory that the proletariat had become
bourgeoisified and the new
revolutionary class in the metropolitan countries was the lumpen:
"Not only had capitalism integrated the working class, the source of potential
revolutionary opposition,
but they had developed new techniques of stabilization through state policies
and the development of new
forms of social control. Thus Marcuse questioned two of the fundamental
postulates of orthodox Marxism:
the revolutionary proletariat and inevitability of capitalist crisis. In
contrast with the more
extravagant demands of orthodox Marxism, Marcuse championed non-integrated
forces of minorities,
outsiders, and radical intelligentsia and attempted to nourish oppositional
thought and behavior through
promoting radical thinking and opposition."
