See Michel Foucault "Remarks on Marx" (Semiotext(e). 1991. P115 - 130) where
F seems to acknowledge the similar directions taken by himself and the
Frankfurt school. One area amongst others being "the effects of power that
are connected to a rationality that has been historically and geographically
defined in the West" (P117). F argues that the main area of breakage was
within the Marxist humanism inherent within the Frankfurt school. Anyway,
check it out for yaself.
