        hi jason.

        believe  me you're preaching to the converted.

    But rather than argue  about our posts, lets just discuss Gramsci. What
do you think his lasting contributions to revolutionary  theory have been?

        As for the webpage rather than me try to explain what i'm going to
put on the page, i'm going to just do it keeping your useful suggestions in
mind.  i've read Fiori, he's good. Alistair Davidson's "Towards an
intellectual biography of Antonio Gramsci" is also very useful.  We're not
that far apart in our thinking about how to approach Gramsci as you may
think. But rather than talk about how to talk about Gramsci i'd rather talk
about Gramsci directly, okay?
