Gramsci, a bright man, thought that Stalinist methods would not work in
western societies. Violence and revolution, in his opinion, would
generate a fatal reaction against the communist movement. He returned
to Italy with more subtle and long term ideas and began to develop
them. Shortly upon his return, Mussolini jailed Gramsci. The fascist
regime saw his ideas as a danger to the State. It was from prison
(where he died in 1937) that Gramsci wrote his 33 books. They contain
very shrewd insight on how a "capitalist, bourgeois society" works and
how it can be taken over peacefully and dominated through a systematic
change of its ideas.
