‘Organic Crisis’ or also referred to as simply ‘Organic’ in the context of Marxism. It is a term coined by Italian Marxist philosopher and communist politician, Antonia Gramsci. The term is used to describe a crisis that differs from the “normal” financial, economical, or political crises. Gramsci uses this term to denote the disparity between society and the state, coercion and consent, and which gave political agents an opportunity to redefine the relations between polity and economy
