But it's not those type of Marxists I'm talking about. I'm thinking of the Baudrillard types who do nothing other than write weighty academic tones in some sort of academic code that no one can understand. More articulate people than I have beaten up on PoMo, but I'll never pass up a chance to rant about how debilitating it's effect on the Left has been. BTW, has anyone here managed to get through anything by Derrida? I suspect his work is one big shaggy dog joke.
