  • Summary

  • This text is an excerpt from a discussion between Michel Foucault and some Maoists about popular justice. Foucault argues that the Maoists' vision of popular justice is based on a misunderstanding of how power operates. He claims that popular justice is not truly independent of the state and that it will ultimately become a new form of oppression. Foucault also critiques the development of the judicial system and argues that it has always been a tool for the control and suppression of the proletariat. He believes that a true revolution must overcome the state and its institutions in order to achieve a truly popular justice.
