Grossmann kept orthodox Marxist theory longer than his fellow exiled intellectuals

Evidence

Unlike them, he did not experience a later disillusionment with communism, even during his decade or so of exile in America, when many others with similar backgrounds repudiated their past. … Grossmann’s quarrel with Borkenau in his Zeitschrifi’ article on Borkenau’s book was over the timing of the transition from the feudal to the bourgeois ideology - he put it one hundred fifty years before Borkenau — and the importance of technology in effecting the change — Leonardo rather than Descartes was his paradigmatic figure. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 130
