Gramsci opens whether the French revolution-restoration model can apply to other states

Evidence

Can this “model” for the creation of the modern states be repeated in other conditions? Can this be excluded absolutely, or could we say that at least partially there can be similar developments in the form of the appearance of planned economies? 152 Can it be excluded for all states, or only for the large ones? The question is of the highest importance, because the France-Europe model has created a mentality which is no less significant for being “ashamed of itself” or for being an “instrument of government”. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 577

Categorization

• QUESTION: An open question from Gramsci — whether the France-Europe model generalizes — is worth tracking across later Islamophobia readings about postcolonial state formation.
• XREF: Connects forward to readings on passive revolution and how non-Western states modernize without bourgeois revolution — standard postcolonial theory terrain.
