Gramsci and the Long March Through Institutions

This chapter explores the influence of Rudi Dutschke and the misunderstood phrase 'long march through the institutions,' tracing its Maoist roots and Gramsci's theories on cultural hegemony. It examines Gramsci's complex relationship with Mussolini, his transformation during imprisonment, and his intellectual legacy that shaped leftist movements in the late 20th century. The discussion also highlights the conservative reactions to Gramsci's ideas and how they have been integrated into broader cultural narratives and political discourse.
