As a modification of Butler's approach how about a chapter on Engels and Marx after the chapter based on Hegel . Since they are students of Hegelianism, there is a definite continuity with the Hegelian tropes; and grounding them in material reality too. Marx declares himself a "pupil of that mighty thinker" (Hegel) in an Afterword to Capital. Engels and Marx are older than Freud and Nietzsche.
Along with the Theses on Feuerbach, this chapter would pick up the master/slave theme of Hegel, only make it less of a Robinson Crusoe/Friday origin myth, more a fully socio-historical labor model. The 1844 Econ-Philosophic Manuscripts theory of alienation and the fetishism of commodities on the reversal of object and subject from chapter one of vol. 1 of Capital would really do this theory of subjection and psychic power some good.

What is the shortest and plainest possible way to explain what
'deconstruction' (or post-structuralism in general) is (to marxists)? A
left-Hegelian dialectics without sublation. The interpenetration of
opposites, but no third term to sublate the opposition. Why left-Hegelian,
instead of historical materialist? Because the primary categories of
oppositions are idealist ones: the Subject and the Law. Marx's theses on
Feuerbach apply to deconstructors/post-structuralists as well:
