Adorno was secretely a proto-Islamist

'fascist trade unions' is what they were called and as far as I know the whole corporatism thing was more an ideal than the reality of labour relations in Italy. The only sector that was corporatist was that of the artists and intellectuals and their minor union, for the rest it was more or less standard labour vs employee capitalist labour conflict, except where the labour side was very weak (for the time period and compared to the past in Italy), no right to strike etc.

Sayyid Qutb used to be a secular intellectual who actually supported Nasser, but the process of secularization to him of Egypt was one of Westernization and decadent American culture. The answers he found in response to this was Islam, and basically wrote a bunch of texts calling for a establishment of a Islamic state to preserve the moral and genuine fiber of the Middle East. A lot of radical Islamists are inspired by him (despite him condemning the deaths of innocents) and he is a perfect example of a enemy of capitalism corrupted by reactionary values.
