1.2 A Brief Biography of Gramsci

NOTE: this episode is pretty rough. I plan on releasing a new recording of this episode eventually. This episode is a brief biography about a peasant that became an influential writer for socialist newspapers, then helped organize a split from the Italian Socialist Party to form the Communist Party of Italy, became a member of parliament, was arrested by the Fascists, and wrote some of philosophy’s most interesting cultural analysis from prison, where he spent the rest of his short life.
