deconstruction and Marxism
There is a danger in making deconstruction coherent with Marxism. Everything that's useful in deconstruction will bite and dust, transformed into something that seems more radical. And everything that's expandable in Marxism in all kinds of different contexts will shrink into an extremely history-specific, race-specific, class-specific, trade-specific way of talking about doing things. A coherence between them would be worth no more than the satisfaction of coherence
