I am working with the notion of antistrategic resistance and found this interesting quote from Michel Foucault:
“If someone ask me what it is I think I am doing, I would answer: if the strategist is a man who says ‘what importance does a particular death, a particular cry, a particular uprising have in relation to the great necessity of the whole, and of what importance to me is such-and-such a general principle in the specific situation in which we find ourselves?’ then it is indifferent to me whether the strategist is a politician, a historian, a revolutionary, someone who supports the Shah or the ayatollah. My theoretical morality is the opposite. It is ‘antistrategic’: be respectful when singularity rises up, and intransigent when power infringes on the universal.”
