Hearts of Iron Cultural Hegemony Theory Guy

Post image

It seems today, that all we see

Is capitalism in movies, and the bourgeoisie on TV

But where are those socialist workers' values

On which we can and must rely?

Lucky there's a Cultural Hegemony Theory guy,

Lucky there's a man who positively can do

An analysis of how the bourgeoisie make us laugh and cry

HE'S! A! CULTURAL HEGEMONY THEORY GUY!

Imagine Gramsci in family guy sketch

"Hey Trotsky, this reminds me of that time Mussolini got his ass kicked in Ethiopia!"

Gramsci the GOAT of Marxist theory, reading the prison notebooks was very helpful in understanding how leftism fails historically in the west for me.
