Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how, through his criticism of the anti-Jacobinism of the French philosopher Georges Sorel, Antonio Gramsci theoretically elaborates the possibility of a Jacobin road to the construction of a new historical bloc. As a revolutionary alternative to the necessarily conservative process represented by passive revolutions, the “Gramscian” Jacobin alternative would consist of the insertion of the masses into the life of the state promoted by the party acting as a modern Machiavellian prince.
