==== Foucault was: ====
* Brilliant at diagnosing Western power
* Weak at predicting what replaces it
* Seduced by intensity, rupture, and “difference”
* Blind to how sacred authority scales into coercion

Many of his sharpest critics today argue that Iran was the moment where post-1968 anti-Enlightenment romanticism met reality—and lost.

If you want, next we can:
* Look at what Foucault’s feminist contemporaries said at the time
* Compare this to today’s debates about “decolonial” or “anti-imperialist” alliances
* Or examine whether this episode exposes a structural flaw in parts of continental philosophy

Just tell me where you want to push the lens.
