Historian & journalist Vijay Prashad talks with Steve about why Antonio Gramsci still matters. Listeners to this podcast know that we have a pretty good grasp of the monetary system. But we’re constantly working to expand our understanding of the systemic underpinnings of real power. How else will we be able to seize it? For help, we turn to Gramsci. According to Vijay, Gramsci was doing class forensics. His core puzzle was brutal & practical: why did big chunks of Italy’s working-class bail on their own unions and parties and drift into fascism? That’s the real origin story of “cultural hegemony,” “common sense,” & the whole Gramscian toolbox: figuring out how consent gets manufactured & how counterrevolution recruits. Vijay takes us through Gramsci’s political development & his imprisonment under Mussolini, where he wrote his seminal Prison Notebooks. Then they get into Gramsci’s key concepts: hegemony (borrowed from Lenin &, per Vijay, more than a “culture theory”), the necessity of a Leninist-type party as the modern Prince, & the need to build alliances to create working-class leadership over society. After taking a hard look at the left in the US, Steve & Vijay discuss the limits of electoral politics & the missing infrastructure for a serious battle of ideas. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about class power, organizing, and what it actually takes to change how people understand the world they’re living in. Vijay Prashad is the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. He is a historian, journalist, and author of forty books, including Washington Bullets: A History of the CIA, Coups, and Assassination; Red Star over the Third World; and The Darker Nations: A People’s History of the Third World.
