At the hearing, the Mussolinis prosecutor said of Gramsci, We must prevent this brain from functioning for 20 years. Gramsci was convicted in June 1928 of conspiracy and was sentenced to 20 years by mussolinnis Fascist court in Italy. Gramsci was extremely anti-fascist. He stated that he was a communist. His final response before sentencing was, I believe that all dictatorships of a military sort end sooner or later by being overthrown in war. When that happens, it seems quite clear to me that the proletariat should replace the ruling class, take over the reins of power, and try to build up the nation again. Gramsci stated, a social group can and indeed must be ruling before it conquers the power of government. rule is to assume the moral and intellectual direction of society.
