Deutshke would I think I have some difficulty being a part of the establishment in that he died in around 1980 having drowned in his bath while suffering an epileptic seizure. Whether he would have followed the paths of his fellow '68ers we can only speculate. He was as I recall very close to Ernst Bloch who seemed to have treated him almost as a son.
