À propos de cet audio
Force is expensive. You need soldiers, police, surveillance. But what if you could rule by making your worldview feel like common sense? What if the oppressed would police themselves?
In this episode, we explore Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony, written in a fascist prison in the 1930s, smuggled out in fragments. Gramsci asked why revolution hadn't come to the West as Marx predicted. His answer: capitalism doesn't just control the economy. It colonizes culture, education, religion. It makes its values feel universal.
The ruling class doesn't need to win every argument. It just needs to set the terms of what counts as reasonable.
Gramsci wrote in code to evade censors. We're still decoding the implications.
