I never understood this.

Foucault wanted to identify and remove institutional domination in all aspects of life, right? So it’s taking the economic struggle for equality in Marxism and applying it to everything.

But then he was also skeptical of grand narratives because they impose that same domination. Marxism is a grand narrative, right?

How is it not contradictory? Can you explain?

This is a great analysis. Don’t sell yourself short.
