Evidence
Marcuse and Negt, opposing the frequent accusation that the protest movement was retreating into illusory activities, had argued for solidarity with the liberation movements of the Third World on the grounds that this was the only way that an awareness of submerged historical strengths and revolutionary perspectives could penetrate the desiccated political scene in highly developed industrial societies. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 651
