I started this podcast in order to extract strategy and insight from Gramsci’s writings. This Gramsci-inspired manifesto calls for a recalibration of the term “working class” per Marx’s Das Kapital, Volume 1 in order to build the foundation for a renewed international working class struggle for socialism grounded on a socialist mode of production and empowerment of the working class, de-emphasizing reliance on a vanguard of revolutionaries. How should socialists relate to the PMC?
