Just finished On the Reproduction of Capitalism by Althusser. Pretty good read, found that Althusser tended to repeat a lot of basic Marxist concepts over and over throughout the book which was a bit tedious, but overall found him a pretty engaging and easy read.

Also not sure why people pit his theories against Gramsci, felt like he was very much building upon Gramsci’s theory of the State, albeit with different terms. But overall found his theories of Ideology and the ISAs definitely an important contribution to understanding how capitalism maintains its hegemony.
