I think Foucault would think of something like, resistance is the inverted
image of power.
Resistance and power go hand in hand, a little imposition and injustice from
the higher ups and you get a little insubordination, a lot of injustice from
above and you can expect a lot of reactionary activism from below. I wonder
if it is power that reacts to resistance or resistance that reacts to power?
