The ‘Western Marxism’ of Frankfurt prided itself on retaining what it thought was living in the tradition – its dialectical method and style – while discarding its historical analysis, which it blamed for both the dangers of adventurism, from the March Action of 1921 to the Red Army Faction, and the political quietism of a left that passively expected history to work out for it' #criticalTheory #philosophy https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/normcore?pc=1750 npub1j6trp58np60020fdy5xmfe0pgmeqetkar0xt9dfvekc7h0v9lu8swhvak6 TinDrum what we thought we knew about autism and... whatnot 'For decades, researchers had been measuring the wrong thing.
