Grünberg’s journal historicized Marxism rather than advancing its theory.

Evidence

To avoid giving the impression that the Archiv was competing with Kautsky, Grünberg emphasized that he was not concerned with topical theoretical discussions at the vanguard of the labour movement, but rather with the history of the movement and its theories. And the journal’s characteristic attitude was indeed that of the historian trying to find out where and when what happened, although it also gave space to contributors such as Lukács and Korsch, publishing Korsch’s Marxism and Philosophy in 1923. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 105
