    • @thomasrotweiler
      @thomasrotweiler ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Boretheory Here's a quote from Trotsky - whose thoughts may be similar to Gramsci "The imperialist half-unification of Europe might be achieved, as we tried to show, as a result of a decisive victory of one group of the great powers as well as a consequence of an inconclusive outcome of the war. In either instance, the unification of Europe would signify the complete trampling underfoot of the principle of self-determination with respect to all weak nations and the preservation and centralization of all the forces and weapons of European reaction: monarchies, standing armies and secret diplomacy.
      The democratic republican unification of Europe, a union really capable of guaranteeing the freedom of national development, is possible only on the road of a revolutionary struggle against militarist, imperialist, dynastic centralism, by means of uprisings in individual countries, with the subsequent merger of these upheavals into a general European revolution." So any unification of the European proletariat would be the result of succesful revolutions in particular countries /regions,freely coming together, not the result of one country waging war on its neighbours.

    The thing about Gramsci is that he suffered more than merely being stuck in a prison for ten years. He got really, really badly sick. He developed conditions which were treatable, but he was denied such treatments by the fascist government. He needs time to recover in-game not because he was a long-time prisoner (though that is a part of it), but because his health was deteriorating to the point where he would eventually become incapable of moving his body. IRL he died in late April of 1937.
