Baudrillard 77 (Jean Baudrillard, dead frenchy, 1977, Forget
Foucault, pg 31, accessed 8/10/16)
But if Foucault spoke so well of power to usand let us not forget it, in real
objective terms which cover manifold diffractions but nonetheless do not
question the objective point of view one has about them, and of power
which is pulverized but whose reality principle is nonetheless not
questionedonly because power is dead? Not merely impossible to locate
because of dissemination, but dissolved purely and simply in a manner that
still escapes us, dissolved by reversal, cancellation, or made hyperreal
through simulation (who knows?). Nonetheless, something happened to
power which Foucault cannot retrieve once again from deep within his
genealogy: for him the political has no end, but only metamorphoses from
the despotic to the disciplinary, and at this level to the microcellular
according to the same process belonging to the physical and biological
sciences.

This recognition takes us back to the initial question: What does it mean to be republican today? We have already seen
that the modern critical response of opening the dialectic between inside and outside is no longer possible. An effective
notion of postmodern republicanism will have to be constructed au milieu, on the basis of the lived experience of the
global multitude. One element we can put our finger on at the most basic and elemental level is the will to be against. In
general, the will to be against does not seem to require much explanation. Disobedience to authority is one of the most
this may not be so obvious. A long tradition of political scientists has said the problem is not why people rebel but why
enemies, but
we still resist and struggle.
