Perhaps not, but your example is not a good one; it doesn't show reversion it shows, if anything, a perspective that was never dominant continuing to not be dominant. (Actually, I suspect communist—particularly from the segments of Western communism that were already at odds with the Leninist/Stalinists—critiques of capitalism from the 1960s resonate more with the popular view today than they did when written, even if 1960s communist prescriptions for resolving the issues raised in those critiques might not, which, come to think of it, I wouldn't count on all that much.)
