#colonelwest via #GillianHart : "What #Gramsci gives us is a way to think about structural constraints and #conjunctural possibilities."

You should always start with #commonsense, as that was is being taken for granted, as a popular understandings of what is going on. Common sense always already contains critical elements and are always contradictory. What are the organisational forms and processes through which common sese can become more collective, more coherent and more critical, in a way that enables collective critical actions and practices.
That is far more complex and challenging than left #populism. We have seen the limits of those in spain and greece.

What we can see, are two different forms of #neoliberal hegemony: On the one hand, what #Mbeki, #Clinton, #Blair, #Obama, represent is a liberal form of neoliberal hegemony, that seeks to neutralize the popular antagonisms that are the workings of neoliberal #capitalism. On the other hand, what #zuma #modi #trump represent, is a #populist form of this #hegemony, that tries to mobilize these social antagonisms, more often than not in terms of #race, #religion, #xenophobia, but then tries to keep control over that, which is where the #authoritarian character of that [shows].

#GwedeMantashe - literally what is wrong with this guy. Corruption. Boosting #Zuma at his very worst. Incompetence - the Turkish gas-ship fiasco. Arrogance - to rock up at #Stilfontein after months of the #SAPS literally starving people underground, and then expect publicity, and attack #Macua as illegal foreigners.
