One of the most important features of Gramsci's social theory was his analysis of the distinction between war of maneuver and war of position. In the context of a relatively underdeveloped civil society such as is found in the 'East,' he argued, revolutionary strategy required a direct frontal assault-a war of maneuver-against the principal form of bourgeois political power: the state. In the 'West,' however, with its more fully developed civil society, such a direct, lightning frontal assault against the state must be a slower, more protracted process of siege warfare, a war of position, in which subordinate classes wear away the existing civil society and, through their self-organization, create a new one (Gramsci 1971).
