György Lukács (13 April 1885 – 4 June 1971) was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher. His 1953 work The Destruction of Reason analyzed the course of irrationalism from the failed 1848 revolutions to the rise of imperialism and fascism. Theodor Adorno and George Lichtheim attacked this work while writing in CIA-funded magazines. Lukács described the United States as a de facto dictatorship, with a monopoly over media, bought elections, and state terrorism through lynching, despite the USA's nominally democratic constitution.[1]
