Indeed, long before Studies in Prejudice Critical Theory developed the idea
that positivistic (i.e., empirically oriented) social science was an aspect of
domination and oppression. Horkheimer wrote in 1937 that “if science as a whole
follows the lead of empiricism and the intellect renounces its insistent and
confident probing of the tangled brush of observations in order to unearth more
about the world than even our well-meaning daily press, it will be participating

passively in the maintenance of universal injustice” (in Wiggershaus 1994, 184).
The social scientist must therefore be a critic of culture and adopt an attitude of
resistance toward contemporary societies.
The unscientific nature of the enterprise can also be seen in its handling of
dissent within the ranks of the Institute. Writing approvingly of Walter
Benjamin’s work, Adorno stated, “I have come to be convinced that his work
will contain nothing which could not be defended from the point of view of
dialectical materialism” (in Wiggershaus 1994, 161; italics in text). Erich Fromm
was excised from the movement in the 1930s because his leftist humanism
(which indicted the authoritarian nature of the psychoanalyst-patient relationship)
was not compatible with the leftist authoritarianism that was an integral part of
the current Horkheimer-Adorno line: “[Fromm] takes the easy way out with the
concept of authority, without which, after all, neither Lenin’s avant-garde nor
dictatorship can be conceived of. I would strongly advise him to read Lenin… I
must tell you that I see a real threat in this article to the line which the journal
takes” (Adorno, in Wiggershaus 1994, 266).

Kā tur vispār pierāda kuri no nodušītajiem taironiem tikuši šādi apskādēti aiz rasisma? Nav gadījumā pēc Salon pēdējā pirdiena izlasīšanas no CNN pareizo ziņu savācēja? Cik atceros slavenākie pēdējo gadu "dumpji" UK un Francijā arī bija pēc tam, kad ļaunais rasisc kops pacēla roku pret kādu dižciltīgu virsaiti no """vietējās komūnas""" par to, ka cīnījās pret balti patriarhālo opresoru law&order apspiešanas instrumentu. Vienmēr arī tur tut kak tut bija visādas ORGANIZĀCIJAS un to aktīvisti, otkudo ņevozmisj noorganizējušies. Much loot was had and property destroyed tho. :^)
