Gramsci, Marx and Obscurantism

Gramsci is unintelligible.

"I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will." - Letter from Prison, Dec. 19, 1929.


"Marx's 'true' position on this is not easily recoverable. Like most interesting thinkers, he took insufficient pains to make himself understood, thus leaving room for considerable controversy over the meaning of the concepts and laws he enunciated. Pareto once likened Marx's statements to bats: you can see in them something that looks like a mouse and something that appears like a bird." - Joseph V. Femia (1987) Gramsci's Political Thought: Hegemony, Consciousness, and the Revolutionary Process

Someone: Sounds like the Bible.

Frigid Girl: it's like the bible, then
