    The article in the OP is dated almost a year ago.

    At least a little weird that this issue hasn't been exploited more if it is accurate.

    Did a quick google and there isn't much out there on it...

    That's probably because, as it stands, it doesn't look promising for his campaign.

    Dr. Joseph Buttigieg was an avid proponent of the work of Antonio Gramsci, godfather of cultural marxism. This is supported elsewhere.

    De Benoist and others instead proposed to learn from the enemy.

    The Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci distinguished between direct political domination, by force and repression, and what he termed “hegemony”. Hegemony is the control a regime can wield over a population by winning their free consent.

    The way to win such hegemony, Gramsci saw, was for a political movement to first shape debate in the cultural sphere. It is a question of peopling schools, universities, newspapers, and think tanks with proponents of one’s own ideological perspective. Direct politics must come later.

    The ENR’s central group, the significantly-acronymed GRECE (Groupement de recherche et d’étude pour la civilisation européenne) was founded in 1968. Central to its program was what the title of its 16th colloquium would directly announce: the push “for a right-wing Gramscianism.”

    “The French right is Leninist without having read Lenin,” de Benoist protested: “It hasn’t realised the importance of Gramsci. It hasn’t seen that cultural power threatens the apparatus of the state …”

    I said before that I understood the position of intellectuals who had left the nouvelle droite (e.g. Guillaume Faye & Pierre Vial) because they didn't believe this "metapolitical" approach was yielding fruit. I kind of leaned there and still do but the populist wave sweeping Europe is making me reconsider.

    And, yes, it's a different world and one I am very thankful I had been exposed to.
