Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist, one of the founders and leaders of the Italian Communist Party. In 1926, he was imprisoned by Benito Mussolini's fascist regime; he spent the remaining years of his life in prison, eventually dying in 1937 of a mix of several health complications.^[1] In prison, he wrote a famous series of assorted notes and Marxist analyses known as the Prison Notebooks.

It also promotes an Orientalist view of West Asia, claiming that the root of instability in the region is religious differences going back thousands of years. This is then contrasted with the “modern” and “civilized” Europe, which has been at peace for a long time and presumably would remain at peace forever if only those Muslims would leave them alone!
