To give leftists some credit, they come up with decent ideas once in a while. The debate between power analytics and discourse ethics is probably their best engagement over the past century. I'm personally baffled by how many conservatives interpret this backwards as well, preferring Foucault over Habermas despite advocating limited government and due process.
I don't feel like repeating my own position on the debate, but I'm still interested in how others interpret it.
