Italian Marxism

Italian Marxism is a branch of Marxist thought developed mainly in Italy during the early 20th century, emphasizing the importance of cultural, social, and political contexts in revolutionary change. Thinkers like Antonio Gramsci introduced concepts such as cultural hegemony, highlighting how dominant groups maintain power not just through economics but by shaping societal beliefs and values. Italian Marxism combines traditional Marxist ideas about class struggle and capitalism with a focus on ideology, education, and civil society, aiming for a profound transformation of cultural and political structures to achieve social equality.
