Abstract
Abstract Erick Olin Wright’s Real Utopias Project was concerned to establish the intellectual grounds for an open-ended politics that was still inspired by the goal of replacing capitalist systems by socialist ones.Conceived when ‘civil society’ was still all the fashion, its emphasis on the need to concentrate on institution-building in civil society was a testament to what Gramsci had called ‘patience allied with perseverance’. Yet the exemplary cases highlighted by Wright - above all the Participatory Budget institutions in Porto Alegre Brazil and those of Quebec’s Chantier de l’economie sociale - lacked the sober assessment actually needed to confirm Wright’s theory of ‘empowered participatory governance’ let alone to reconstruct that theory in light of its inadequacies. What was most problematic about Wright’s real utopias project was its lack of concern with what Gramsci focused on, i.e., the kind of institutional design mass socialist parties needed in order to engage in hegemonic practices as agencies of both class formation and social transformation. This was recognized by Wright himself in his final work.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
