ADUN SPEAKS | A Gramscian reflection on the Sabah polls

ADUN SPEAKS | “Sono pessimista con l'intelligenza, ma ottimista per la volontà (I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will)."

These were the words written by Antonio Gramsci, an Italian socialist philosopher, who was imprisoned by the then fascist regime. These remarks were written in his "prison notebooks" in which he reflected upon his position of utter hopelessness.
