Gramsci tra Croce e Lenin

1917 intervened with extraordinary power in a war-torn Europe, but it carried out a revolution against ‘Capital’, against and without Marx. Yet it presented itself as a proletarian and communist revolution, and from within it referred to Marx and even Hegel, and to the great dialectic, in Lenin’s writings. The failure of the German revolution was proof that the revolution in the West needed to develop another thought, another reading of society and the state, a different elaboration of Marx and his philosophy of praxis, measured against all modern thought. Preface by Biagio De Giovanni.
