Evidence

As Engels already intimated, the crisis of civil society diagnosed by Putnam would pose a greater problem for the left, since the bar for success is inevitably set higher. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 163

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to Engels’ ‘Competition’ passage in The Condition of the Working Class and Marxist organizational theory broadly.
• DEEPTHINKING: The asymmetry thesis — that hollowed-out institutions cost the left its essential machinery while capital self-organizes — is a dense, paradigm-shaping insight, though it may be borderline for the top 5%.
