This is a very informative and interesting article (4pg) written by Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci in 1916 about the struggles of textile workers in and around Turin. I found it especially informative and significant due to the large number of industrial disputes in, and radicalization of, the textile sector in Egypt, with workers in Mahalla being in the vanguard and most well known, but also in places like Shebeen il-Kum. It also makes the very accurate point that when workers struggle together in solidarity they will never lose. Enjoy comrades:

Liberation:

I have been reading lately some of Gramsci’s pre-prison writings, and I must say that they are very interesting. I especially liked this essay (written by Antonio Gramsci at the age of 19/20 (i.e. in 1911) at his secondary school in Cagliari, Sardinia), and hope my children write secondary school essays as good as this! Anyway, please read comrades, it is a good introduction to Gramsci if you have not read him before, and if you have it is still very interesting to read:
