Evidence

The whole history of the P.C.I. in its remaining two years of semi-legal existence was marked by this failure of appreciation (which was in Gramsci’s own case almost certainly one of the main factors in his decision to remain in Italy until he was arrested). — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 190
