3. Gramsci, Lenin & Hegemony

from Gramsci and the Struggle for Democratic Communism · host Michael Wayne

In this, episode 3, I am going to be talking about Lenin’s contribution to the concept of hegemony,  how he developed it as a critique of what he called ‘economism’, and as a strategic guide for revolutionary practice. But there are limits to Lenin’s thinking about hegemony and I will use Gramsci's take on it to explore these limits and their practical political consequences.
