Antonio Gramsci on Government - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 712
Rule/GramsciVsMarx/Gramsci: Gramsci argues for a complex relationship between rule and subordination. ((s) This probably means a multi-layered view of this problem).
Gramsci thesis: a subaltern group is not only marginalized by economic conditions, but is affected by heterogeneous exclusions. Gramsci alternately calls the suppressed classes "classi subalterne", "classi subordinate" and "classi strumentali". This differentiation can only be understood in connection with the dominant social groups. The dominant social groups realize their historical unity in the state, i.e. in the combination of political and civil society.
In contrast, the subaltern classes form a fragmented grouping characterized by a lack of autonomy and structural and economic exclusion.
Solution/Gramsci: the political goal is to overcome the fragmentation of the subaltern groups through organization and through an alliance between workers and rural masses.(1)
