Preface to Credit unto Death - Anselm Jappe
Anslem Jappe’s preface to his 2011 book, Credit unto Death: The Decomposition of Capitalism and its Critics, in which the author cautions his readers that “emancipation cannot be the simple result of capitalist development” but will instead “be a leap into the unknown, without a net”, and that the “the crisis is not … synonymous with emancipation”, a claim that “defines the theme of this book”.

Towards a New Manifesto:
Conversations between Adorno & Horkheimer
1956

There seem to be only two cases: in the 19th century, Marx and Engels, and in the 20th Horkheimer and Adorno.
