Gramsci uses Hegel’s rational-real formula to name a moment fusing structure with superstructure.

Evidence

The notion that the rational is real and the real is rational, whose interpretation is much disputed, derives from Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. Gramsci uses it here not as a general principle but to describe a particular moment of unity of structure and superstructure and of thought and action. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2552
