Was thinking of Wiener-Bohr-Einstein-Heisenberg-Hayek-Wittgenstien-Popper nexus and the point you raised Fabian about the relationship between thoughts and movements, and / or classes. Then remembered a book suppose to finish some months ago: the Discipline of Western Supremacy by Kees van der Pijl's. The book makes extremely clear what was the relationships between historically developed capital fractions and bourgeois scientist, and what stream of thinking has served -willingly or unwillingly- what hegemonic project (comprehensive concepts of control): https://www.academia.edu/5970987/Preface_to_The_Discipline_of_Western_Supremacy 
While case of Bogdanov and many others already shows the direction for emancipatory thinking could take instead, when it is applied to today's Google-Microsoft-Amazon-Internet of Everything -sharing economy (capitalist commons)-NSA-Prism context it is serves as torch.
