Marcuse and Marx: robbing creativity?

I do believe that Marcuse's repressive desublimation and Marx's argument of alienation can be paralleled. Referring to Marcuse's argument, we look at art today and understand how it is desublimated in the sense that art is now turned into objects of everyday life that appeal to everybody, while in the past art represented a form of opposition to this "higher power". Art has been commodified as a commercial product giving individuals the illusion that it is a form of social cohesion, but rather it exerts control over our lives and takes away freedom. This domination of the commercial world can also be compared to Marx's alienation in which capitalism takes control of the individual. The oppression of the proletariat comes into play when the worker has to engage in work that is meaningless in order to survive. The proletariat cannot exercise creativity and fulfill his species being due to the demands of capitalistic production just as art has been given more attention as a product of capitalism.
