| | An Introduction to Gramsci's Life and Thought |
 | | Antonio Gramsci was born on January 22, 1891 in Ales in the province of Cagliari in Sardinia. | | | Nevertheless, he continued to study privately and eventually returned to school, where he was judged to be of superior intelligence, as indicated by excellent grades in all subjects. | | | But these were also years of privation, during which Antonio was partially dependent on his father for financial support, which came only rarely. |

| | It was in his capacity as philosopher and activist that Gramsci was arrested in 1926 under Mussolini's “Exceptional Laws for State Security” [16] due to his antagonistic activities. | | | Gramsci recognized that his environment dictated much of his thought process, informed his approach, and inevitably limited him at the same time. | | | For this reason it is vital to investigate his life briefly to help us understand his philosophical legacy. |

| | Despite the immunity he should have gained by being a Member of Parliament, Gramsci was arrested in 1926 by the fascist government and sentenced to twenty-years' imprisonment. | | | Gramsci was, pre-eminently, a revolutionary leader in a non-revolutionary situation. | | | He spent the last ten years of his life in prison, under Mussolini's personal supervision. |

| | He died in Rome at the age of 46, shortly after being released from prison; he is buried in the so-called Protestant Cemetery there. | | | He received an immediate sentence of 5 years in confinement (on the remote island of Ustica); the following year he received a sentence of 20 years of prison (in Turi, near Bari). | | | Gramsci's theses were adopted by the PCd'I at its 1926 Lyons Congress. |

| | Just as Rush argues that the left has no monopoly on cultural warfare, we must assert that the right has no monopoly on the "critique of pure tolerance" that questions the virtues of the "freedom" made possible by letting things be. | | | Violence and revolution, in his opinion, would generate a fatal reaction against the communist movement. | | | He suffered through a difficult childhood, eventually received a scholarship, and graduated from the University of Turin. |

| | 20th WCP: Rethinking Gramsci's Political Philosophy |
| | A crucial example of this theoretical convergence is Gramsci's recognition of the fundamental law of Mosca's political science, which I would call the analytical principle of elitism; that is, the formulation of the distinction between the governors and the governed or leaders and followers. | | | (3) G. Fiori, Vita di Antonio Gramsci (Bari: Laterza, 1966); J. Joll, Antonio Gramsci (New York: Penguin, 1977); W. Adamson, Hegemony and Revolution (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980); D. Germino, Antonio Gramsci (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1990); and G. Liguori, Gramsci conteso (Rome: Riuniti, 1996). | | | Fifth, there is a common objection to the Fascist bill insofar as both predict that the new law will be used by the Fascist government to replace officials and employees who are or have been Freemasons with Fascists. |

| | It was Lenin who first used the concept of hegemony systematically (in relation to the leading role of the working class vis-à-vis the peasantry), who thematized the role of the vanguard party, who theorized two stages of capitalism (competitive and monopoly capitalism), and who recognized the interests in imperialism of Western labor aristocracies. | | | However, it is not simply that the state is aided and abetted by an expanding civil society in reproducing capitalism but the state itself assumes expanded functions (pp.244-47). | | | The early Gramsci is usually associated with his editorship of the cultural newspaper, L’Ordine Nuovo, and his leadership role in and his theorizing of the Factory Council Movement in Turin. |

| | Gulli: "Praxis and the Danger: The Insurgent Ontology of Antonio Gramsci" |
| | Gramsci's distance from a bureaucratic and dead orthodoxy, rather than be looked at as a measure of his coherence and of his unrelenting revolutionary stance, is considered a bit conciliatory and less threatening. | | | Yet, as we have seen in the first section of this paper, his call for antagonism and autonomy did not change in his prison writings; rather, it became the center of his philosophy of praxis and insurgent ontology. | | | This is, basically, the criticism Gramsci has of Bordiga, more than of Lenin. |

| | The Ghost of Antonio Gramsci |
| | What a person does in his private life does not affect his ability to govern. | | | This is a major tactical maneuver that most on the Right did not understand. | | | Libertarians, like Gramsci, believe "everything must be done in the name of man's dignity and rights, and in the name of his autonomy and freedom from outside constraint." America is haunted by the ghost of Antonio Gramsci. |

| | Gramsci died intestate, as it were; his legacy--the body of his writings--has been contested, sometimes bitterly, ever since. | | | His early death means that the body of his later work--the prison notebooks--remains unfinished, sketchy, provisional, and must therefore be actively reconstructed in the process of reading. | | | If Gramsci had been able to peer into the future and see the kind of work being carried out in his name in the Anglo-American academy over sixty years later, one wonders whether he wouldn't have had second thoughts about that phrase. |

| | They are also meant as a meditation on the active political life of the author, which was abruptly halted by Mussolini and which resulted in a prison stay during the last eleven years of his life. | | | Since they were not published until many years after his death, Gramsci was obviously not given the opportunity to organize the ideas for his readers. | | | This will be accomplished in the West by a "war of position", or, metaphorically speaking, trench warfare. |

| | Antonio Gramsci: Problems of Marxism |
| | Gramsci raises questions of how a "man of politics" approaches philosophy, etc. "in every personality there is one dominant and predominant activity: it is here that his thought must be looked for, in a form that is more often than not implicit and at times even in contradiction with whast is professly expressed." (403). | | | Gramsci then makes the interesting statement that "the real precautions introduced by Marx into his concrete researches, precautions which could have no place in his general works" (407=8). | | | In this context, Gramsci suggests that we should bring Labriola back by recovering his unpublished texts. |

| | Dante Germino, Antonio Gramsci |
| | Gramsci’s insistence on the international Communist movement’s openness to new social formations at the grass roots is supremely relevant to developments in Romania, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Poland, where forces hitherto kept at the margins of political life by ossified Communist-party structures have burst on the scene with unprecedented vitality. | | | That vision led Gramsci to concentrate on the significance of the “common man” as he developed his theory of the political organization of society. | | | His antiauthoritarian leadership style as secretary of the Italian Communist party in the 1920s prefigured Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika and glasnost. |

| | Originally a member of the Socialist party and a cofounder (1919) of the left-wing paper L’Ordine Nuovo, Gramsci helped to establish (1921) the Italian Communist party. | | | When Benito Mussolini outlawed the party, Gramsci was imprisoned (1926–37). | | | His posthumously published prison writings, Lettere del carcere (1947), present his theory of hegemony, which explains how a dominant class controls society and emphasizes a less dogmatic form of Communism that many intellectuals preferred to the increasingly ossified version represented by the former Soviet Union. |

| | Gramsci: A Method to the Madness |
| | Understanding the covert machinations of our enemies is also necessary in order to anticipate their moves and organize effective resistance -- and it is only through organized, principled defense of our heritage of liberty that the culture war can ultimately be won. | | | Many of the problems afflicting America do not reflect the march of impersonal, irreversible "social progress," or the process of irresistible social decay. | | | Taking a page from Gramsci (and Goebbels), the authors urged that the Lavender Lobby mount a full-scale propaganda war to bring about the "conversion" of America through a "planned psychological attack." Through such means, the authors predicted, Americans would be "cured" of their opposition to homosexual perversion, "whether they like it or not." |

| | Antonio Gramsci, "The Organisation of Education and Culture" |
| | In modern civilisation all practical activities have, generally speaking, become so complex and learning so interwoven with life that every kind of practical activity tends to create a school for its own leaders and specialists, and hence to create a group of specialised intellectuals of a higher level to teach in these schools. | | | Our note: Part of Gramsci’s meditations on the modern system of schooling and call for a "unitary school" in answer to its failings, these excerpts are an interesting example of the way in which standards and merit-based advancement have been taken to be self-evident. | | | Note that Gramsci goes no further than to say that entrance into the school and career placement from it would be determined by "repeated tests for professional aptitude" and "competition." |

| | Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Essay: Antonio Gramsci |
| | This article gave me a newfound respect for Gramsci in spite of his current vogue and has finally given me a reason to want to study him. | | | But now I see that Gramsci was profoundly engaged with the real problems of technical specialization and the division of labor, and his concerns do not devolve to typically American moralistic preoccupations with how to overcome being a lonely individual crying in the wilderness looking for a power base or somebody's ass to kiss. | | | In spite of his posthumous celebrity in these parts of late, I was always highly suspicious of people's concern with him here, because I always suspected that a concern with being an "organic intellectual" in American conditions was a load of ballocks. |

| | Antonio Gramsci analyzes the threat of revolution (or lack thereof) due to social, political, and economic forces. | | | Unlike his predecessor, Marx, Gramsci sees these forces acting with equal power; he does not view economic modes of production as a base, or structure, from which all other forces derive as Marx does. | | | Nothing is clearer in history than the adoption by successful rebels of the methods they were accustomed to condemn in the forces they deposed. |
