'''György Lukács''' (13 April 1885 – 4 June 1971) was a Hungarian [[Marxism|Marxist]] philosopher.

[[Theodor Adorno]] and [[George Lichtheim]] attacked this work while writing in [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]-funded magazines. Lukács described the [[United States of America|United States]] as a de facto [[Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie|dictatorship]], with a monopoly over [[Bourgeois media|media]], bought elections, and state terrorism through lynching, despite the USA's nominally democratic [[Constitution of the United States|constitution]].<ref>{{Web citation|author=[[John Bellamy Foster]]|newspaper=[[Monthly Review]]|title=The New Irrationalism|date=2023-02-01|url=https://monthlyreview.org/2023/02/01/the-new-irrationalism/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230806060940/https://monthlyreview.org/2023/02/01/the-new-irrationalism/|archive-date=2023-08-06}}</ref> | '''György Lukács''' (13 April 1885 – 4 June 1971) was a Hungarian [[Marxism|Marxist]] philosopher.
