Gramsci had a German Shepard

Let us gather around to talk about Antonio Gramsci, the most important thinker of all time. He is responsible for bringing Marxism into the 20th century and explaining to us how Capitalism gained a cultural foothold in the minds of the people.

In 1926 after being thrown into prison by the evil Fascist government of Italy he wrote a series of notebooks that would eventually be called the Prison Notebooks.

Over the next few months we have these threads to go through his writings and offer our thoughts on them. No need to read it from start to finish if you don't feel like reading all of it, just look for acts that you find interesting and tell us what you think about them.
