The observations on Antonio Gramsci below got me thinking about the liberal politics of lesserevilism. Particularly how appeals to lesser evils repress subaltern aspirations and rely on hegemonic historiography.
āBecause written history often distorts or erases the activity of subaltern classes, the āautonomous initiativesā of subaltern classes are difficult to trace and, according to Gramsci, of āinestimable valueā ā¦ he also introduced the rubric āUtopias and philosophical novelsā as a new line of inquiry to investigate the literary genre of utopian writing as an indirect representation of the āaspirations of the masses.āā
