Modernism was established when WW2 broke out which probably ended it. I doubt that any philosophy is vulnerable to it because then it would not resurface. Fascism and communism as well judged capitalism. Maybe that is easier to admit than being responsible for it ourselves. I do believe however that there are fascist tendencies in those that quickly diagnose it in others just because it is something abhorrent. That Adorno suspected it everywhere would be understandable, except that he did no such thing even with the pessimism he often espoused.
