Journal Article

Overview
Spivak's distinction between tactical tool and hypostasized \"masterword\" (3) evokes the Marxian notion of strategy as an action directed toward a goal in a particular situation, one whose \"goodness\" or \"badness\" can only ever be judged by the extent to which it helps realize an end whose justness has been agreed upon in advance.2 As Vladimir Lenin says in one of his letters on strategy: \"Our theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action\" (n.p.). The neoliberal administrative rationality that now controls all of our institutions-and there are no exceptions to this-is fundamentally presentist in orientation and economistic in its logic; its vision of justice is to cut costs, to casualize labor, and to abolish the past in favor of the instrumental thinking and skills-based learning that will pay the bills now.
