I love your opening disclaimer! But, still, you *quoted* a Commie so isn't that the same as being one? I mean, unless you're the now-imprisoned Steve Bannon quoting the former Italian Communist Party chief Antonio Gramsci on “cultural hegemony.” Gramsci also spent some time in prison, as I recall. A hack version of the Gramsci-cultural-hegemony thing is also popular right now among “highbrow” European fasc-, uh, I mean, New Conservative intellectuals.
