Horkheimer and Adorno backed individual improvement over any political organization

Evidence

Precisely this fusion of a motif corresponding to their own viewsa sudden improvement in human naturewith the political concepts of the soviet republic and anarchy was bound to shock Horkheimer and Adorno. It made explicit a link which they wanted merely not to exclude. Against those who concluded from bad conditions that better ones were impossible, explicitly or implicitly referring to a pessimistic anthropology, Horkheimer and Adorno insisted that better conditions were possible. But they were not prepared either to designate or to recognize any political or social organization or grouping as embodying the possibility of improvement. They preferred to build on individuals. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1676
