Postwar New Leftists rediscovered the Frankfurt School through pirated and reissued pre-1950 writings

Evidence

Because of their intransigent refusal to compromise their theoretical integrity at the same time that they sought to identify a social agency to realize their ideas, the adherents of the Frankfurt School anticipated many of the same issues that were to agonize a later generation of engaged intellectuals. … The clamor for republication of the essays written in the Institut’s house organ, the Zeitschrift fur Sozial forschung (Journal of Social Research), led in the i to the appearance of such collections as Herbert Marcuse’s Negations and Max Horkheimer’s Kritische Theorie, to add to the already reissued selections from the writings of other Institut members, such as Theodor W. Adorno, Leo Lowenthal, Walter Benjamin, and Franz Neumann. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 76
