Francesco Gramsci (1860-1937), his father was Albanian.
Was he Jewish, he certainly looks it?

- I think that Arbereshe is more precise because his father's family was in Italy since long before 1860. GhePeU 23:50, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to Gramsci, but I'm fairly certain this article desperately needs some mention of the subaltern. RadicalSubversiv E 11:13, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm thinking of giving this page a thorough revision: a lot of his ideas seem to be over-simplified and/or completely left out. Hanshans 01:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Q: Where can I find them on the internet to download them?!

[edit] Pretext for his imprisonment?
On just what pretext was G imprisoned? Simply "being a Socialist", or was there anything more to it than that? - 25 November 2005
Well Italy was under the fascists at that time so they were in the habit of rounding up Communists (as Gramsci was then) and locking them away.

[edit] Chomsky
Chomsky may have a book called 'Hegemony or Survival' but I'm not sure if his use of the term has anything to do with Gramsci - Hanshans23
[edit] Featured Article Candidate
I want to ask what improvements might be needed to make this article worthy of featured article status. Hanshans23 04:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- A proper WP:LEAD, and inline referencing, to start with. Jkelly 05:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slogan
Is he credited with the communist slogan we must have "Pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will"?
- I've seen this attributed to him before, but I think it sounds v. Nietzschean and could have its origins in Schopenhauer. Somearemoreequal
- I've seen it attributed to Romain Rolland - Hanshans23 15:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Philosophy of Praxis"
The article correctly notes that Gramsci used "Philosophy of Praxis" to refer to Marxism in his Prison Notebooks. However, the lead states that this is a departure from Dialectical materialism. This claim needs badly to be substantiated with a citation, preferably to the Notebooks, which could establish that Gramsci was anti-dialectical in some way. Since it was used in reference to Marxism and not as a term in and of itself, this should not be considered a substantial part of Gramsci's thought.
[edit] Influenced..
He influenced Bill Hicks if that is notable enough for the page.
How so? Somearemoreequal 16:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Organic Intellectual Concept
I am surprised theres not more elaboration on this concept, aside from hegemony this is what i know Gramsci for. Could an expert or at least someone well versed possibly give some depth to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.206.160.253 (talk) 16:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
