[edit] “To tell the truth is revolutionary”

"To tell the truth is revolutionary." is not a Gramsci's sentence. He put it on the frontpage of his paper but I think the author is German socialist Lassalle--131.114.116.44 11:50, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Long March?

One of the quotes most attributed to Gramsci (in English) is “long march through the institutions” – also rendered as “long march through the culture” or “slow march”. Though this is frequently quoted, I am unable to find a reference – any assistance?

In Italian, “Long March” is “lunga marcia”, while “slow” is “lenta”, and “through institutions” is “nelle istituzioni”, I believe. However, searching on any combination of these does not seem to give primary references.

For now I’ve listed the quote in “Unsourced”.

For example, Gramsci is quoted in

Patrick J. Buchanan, Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization (New York: St. Martin’s Press/Thomas Dunne Books, 2001), p. 77.

though it does not give a reference.
