Yes indeed. "What comes to pass does so not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be ... In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media ..." -- Antonio Gramsci, c. 1929

And, in honor of Randi Weingarten, more Gramsci: "The history of education shows that every class which has sought to take power has prepared itself for power by an autonomous education ... I put forward this new idea: popular schooling should be placed under the control of the great workers’ unions. The problem of education is the most important class problem."

He wrote the blue print for the disaster that has been imposed on to Western society.

Interestingly enough, Gramsci joined the socialist party in 1913, while Mussolini was expelled from the same party (its highest echelons, in fact) in December of 1914, so they have been party comrades for more than a year. In 1916, Gramsci became a regional editor of the same party organ Mussolini was editor-in-chief for more than 6 years.

In addition, he was a Stalinist sycophant, denouncing real and alleged Trotskyites within the Comintern with zeal. And he was very much an admirer of Lenin's policy of mass murder of peasants.
