It sounds like Foucault is the Aristotle figure and Marx is the Socrates
figure. I could see this argument, but Foucault seems a bit complex to
grasp (as is Aristotle) since it's more nuanced. People like easy
answers, and Marx gives it out like red meat for the masses.
It is kinda weird that the author of this article argues that it is
Foucault arguing that action drives thought and not Marx. That's really
standing Marx on his head.
