Gramsci: On the Party

Abstract

Gramsci's view of the role of the socialist party in preparing for the revolution was quite novel. This was to be expected given his novel view of marxism and of the tasks of socialists in advanced capitalist countries. This point has had to be made at the outset because other writers from both the communist party and outside have maintained that Gramsci, on party questions, was in the Leninist tradition.
