Jacobinism means organically uniting city and countryside through peasant consent

Evidence

(What Gramsci meant by “Jacobin” will be discussed more fully in the introduction to “The Modern Prince” below. He saw the essence of “Jacobinism” as the subordination of the “countryside” to the ” city” in an organic relationship, i.e. the organising of peasant “consent”.) — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 376
