Is this book the cultural marxist manifesto?

idk i never read it

What's the run down on this
I heard it was very good but I know literally nothing aobut it

>economic determinism and materialism are flawed
>capitalist can't be destroyed because cultural hegemony
>in order for a revolution to happen, we must subvert institutions such as schools and the military to raise class consciousness
>religion and the family unit are pillars to capitalistic cultural hegemony
>there is a political society and a civil society: the first coerces, the second consents
>capitalistic civil societies often make concessions to revolutionary forces, which little by little change cultural hegemony: passive revolution
>controling language itself is fundamental to achieve passive revolution, for the control of language means the control of the sphere of thought
>the media is the ultimate broadcaster of ideology, and the control of media along with schools, religion, language and others is necessary for a shift in cultural hegemony, allowing a passive revolution to happen

This is a really retarded summary, though. It's a collection of essays, and he discusses a plethora of other themes, most dealing with the ascension of Fascism in Italy

Godamn sounds like I'd fucking hate him. the OP seems accurate

What's interesting is that the alt-right are very much Gramscian, in that they are attempting to establish their own istitutions parallel to "liberal media" in much the same way that Gramsci intended for the left

Gramsci is actually pretty good. He hated capitalist corporatist faggots who wanted to enslave his country and use his people to print money. He was imprisoned by fascists who had made a compact with those same capitalist fucks. And he had watched true socialism fail to get off the ground at the most critical moment in its history, the moment when it truly died as a political platform. He realised Marx had been corrupted by people whose idea of toppling the corrupt faggots at the top was to wait and see.

It's pretty easy to see why he wrote a manifesto for saving socialism and saving the little guy. Incidentally, Mussolini was also a radical socialist during this time, and the reason he went fascist is the same reason that Gramsci went "cultural marxist," which is more or less fascism also. It's just socialist fascism. They're both grassroots populism. The idea is the same: fuck capitalists, fuck people who run the country as a slave factory for printing money.

The Nouvelle Droite, which is the precursor to the alt right, is famously 'Neo-Gramscian'. Arguably the biggest Gramscians since Gramsci have all been ethnonationalists and fascists.

Wtf I suddenly love Gramsci!

This is.

bash the fash! down with the problematic!
