Redirection Trasformismo => Transformism
Transformism (from the Italian word Trasformismo) is a historical term used to describe the formation of a hegemonic liberal government with the participation of converted members of both left-wing and right-wing parties in the years ater the Italian unification (1880s).[1].
Gramsci discerns two phases of Italian transformism:
- Molecular transformism (1860-1900), whereby political figures from the democratic opposition parties converted individually to the conservative-moderate political framework, accepting its hegemony and aversion to the participation of the masses in state life.[1]
- Group transformism (1900 - circa 1922), whereby entire groups of leftists convert to the moderate camp.[1]
