👉 Obstructionism in politics refers to a strategy or practice of opposing or obstructing political reforms, policies, or initiatives that are perceived as harmful or counterproductive. It is often used by politicians and activists who believe that their own views or beliefs should be protected at all costs, even if it means opposing the progress of others. The term was coined by John Dewey in his book "The Public School" to describe the method of opposition that he advocated for as a teacher.
