Marcuse’s 1947 political candour was unpublishable by his colleagues’ standards.

Evidence

Marcuse’s February 1947 draft must have shocked Adorno, and Horkheimer even more. Admittedly, it was an internal paper, intended to clarify their own views. But it discussed political matters so directly that it must have seemed to Horkheimer and Adorno, reading it, that turning it into publishable ideas would be virtually impossible. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 412
