What did Marxist Miliband say?

That the state always works to the advantage and in the interests of the Elite, despite the checks/balances in place.

The Gov. ensures there is no threat to Capitalism - even Labour.

There will be a 'Withering of the State'.

How did GRAMSCI say that the Elite maintained their dominance?

They gain their HEGEMONY by making sure that their values are widely excepted - through the media e.g. films, newspapers.

They also use the Ideological State Apparatus to do this e.g. church.

Keep us in a state of 'bemused satisfaction' through entertainment - not challenge the inequalities - distracting us from them.

Use the Repressive State Apparatus.
