Foucault's concept of Power is a fallacy

It's popular because it's the foundation for entire disciplines of fake academic knowledge.

Foucault's concept of power is a fallacy because:

1. Foucault created an abstract idea of power. Much of the historical evidence he used (from: Madness and Civilization, Discipline and Punish, History of Sexuality, ...) was partial and cherry-picked. There are other histories which criticise power in the real, not in the abstract; other histories which come to different conclusions regarding power, expertise, ... in society.
2. 'Power' becomes an abstract idea for Foucauldians. Then, they use that abstract idea to support other abstract ideas such as systematic racism. They build an empire of abstractions to support their new ideology. But - as they see it - everything is ideology - so they can never know how and why they're wrong.
3. Foucauldian power - legitimizes actual power in society by misleading people. We should criticise power on the basis of the concrete (measured) evil it does - not on how our feelings and ressentiment motivate us. For example: watch how pomos and identitarians are taken in by COVID, climate propaganda. Misled people now allow actual power to rule uncriticised - while they're busy criticising abstract Foucauldian power.
