Power emphatically develops a total or global vision. B. We no longer define reality as a continuation of politics in the traditional sense of competition and the distribution of power through agencies of the Communist Party or the General Workers Union. C. Reality is what actually happens in factories, in schools, in barracks, in prisons, in police stations. An these actions carry a type of information which is different from that found in newspapers. We continue to ignore the problem of power.
Power is at once visible and invisible, present and hidden, ubiquitous.
It is difficult to say who holds power, but it is easy to see who lacks power. The discourse of struggle is not opposed to the unconscious, but to the secretive. Misunderstandings relate to things that are hidden, repressed and unsaid. It is more difficult to unearth a secret than the unconscious. It is clear who exploits, who profits, and who governs, buit power remains something more diffuse.
