We do? I don't think there's a single deconstructionist on this list. I could be wrong.

^^^^^ CB: I thought Asad was referring to Marxists as knee-jerkedly rejecting post-mods, post-structs, and deconstructs, when Marx and Engels "recruited" Hegelianism which was jargon-laden and obscurantist bourgeois philosophical fashion in the 1840's ? (smile)
