Felipe Corrêa. “Power and Anarchism: approximation or contradiction?”

This article, originally published at the Spanish magazine Ekintza Zuzena, is to debate power in general and popular power in particular based on an anarchist perspective. It proposes to conceptualize power as a relationship that is established in the struggles and conflicts between a diversity of social forces, when one(s) force(s) is imposed on the other(s). In this sense, power and power relations function as synonyms. It also proposes that the link between domination, self-management and power runs through the notion of participation: considered established by relationships of power, participation may be greater and approach the field of self-management, or less and bring it closer to that of domination.
