Does anyone agree with this? Does anyone disagree?

Not to diminish Foucault's intellectucal contribution.

Perhaps his popularity could be explained by his proactive and high profile
social activism that contributed to his popularity.

He provided theory and practice for resistance, but more important he led by
example. He was a total force in that regard; perhaps even a movement.
