the frankfurt school left is not antiwestern nor antiliberal and also not any kind of post-modern. Adorno would instantly call the police when his students started to make some infantil riots in his university, horkheimer later in his life was openly supporting civilized western nations and would never doubt that the western democracy is the most freedom providing society in history and the communist projects failed. they were critics of ideology and were never supporting "identity politics". the postmodern regressive left often cities adorno without understanding him, he was a radical enlightener, not a opponent of enlightement (which is why the famous book is called "Dialektik der Aufklärung" and not Kritik der Aufklärung). A real left in the tradition of critical theory can be found in Germany, also known as the "anti-germans" who today are the only leftist voice against islamism, postmodern relativism and socialist states (and are therefore hated by the rest of the leftist scene)
