Translation - A society ... (Engels)

well, it corresponds directly to the Portuguese "perdeu"

It seems to me that if you use "has been defeated", there would have to be an opponant, which there isn't in this case.

Here we come to what I said before: has lost what?

"...has lost its way."?

humm... ok, in that case, I think "has failed" is the best option.

Thank you so much! "has failed" exactly! :-))))
