Who this is

“A fascist prosecutor demanded that Gramsci's brain be stopped from functioning for twenty years; instead, in a prison cell, that brain produced the ideas every side of every culture war now uses.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 213

The big idea, in the book's words:

“The powerful rule less by force than by consent — by making their view of the world feel like plain common sense — so real change means the slow work of changing what a culture takes for granted.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 213
