Editing Neo-Marxism (section)

==== Critique of Materialism ====
Gramsci's beliefs differ from the materialism of Engels and Lenin. He doesn't think Marxism deals with an objective reality outside human history. Instead, he sees reality as shaped by human actions and history. He argues that philosophical materialism lacks critical thinking and doesn't necessarily oppose religious beliefs. Despite this, he accepts that Marxism can sometimes be expressed in simpler forms, like common sense. However, to challenge educated classes, Marxists must present their ideas in a more sophisticated way and understand their opponents' perspectives.
