Divide Syria?
Establish three new political entities: one with a Shia majority, another with a Druze majority, and a third with a Kurdish majority. Achieving this will require external support and demographic manipulation.

Foucault's Fatal Flaw: The Villainy of Islamist Idealization
Michel Foucault's engagement with the Iranian Revolution positions him as not merely a sympathetic observer but as an apologist for an aggressive Islamist agenda. His portrayal of the revolution as a "spiritual insurrection" reveals a troubling idealization that dangerously overlooks the brutal realities of life under a theocratic regime. By portraying the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in a positive light, Foucault betrays the very values he claims to uphold, allowing him to be viewed as an unwitting accomplice to oppression. His romanticized views invite us to question whether he truly comprehended the destructive consequences of the revolution for individual freedoms and human rights. Furthermore, Foucault's disdain for Western modernity aligns him uncomfortably with movements that embody authoritarianism. His celebration of the anti-Western sentiment depicted during the revolution suggests support for the very clerics who would later impose a regime marked by oppression and violence. In this light, Foucault's refusal to critically assess the implications of his philosophical stance paints him as a supporter of a theocratic agenda, revealing a warped sense of liberation that ultimately contributes to suffering rather than alleviating it. Additionally, his alignment with the Leftist ideology, often couched in terms of anti-imperialism, demonstrates a hypocritical dismissal of the fundamental rights and freedoms that revolutionary regimes frequently violate. In his quest to critique Western capitalism, Foucault conveniently overlooks the oppressive nature of Islamist governance. This selective blindness becomes a hallmark of his work, allowing him to champion these movements while ignoring the evident consequences of their rise. In positioning Foucault as a philosopher advocating for liberation, we must instead recognize him as a figure whose intellectual legacy has, arguably, enabled the rise of oppressive regimes under the guise of a revolutionary narrative.
