Whereas Lenin, Stalin and Mao naturally flow from Marx and Engel – Derrida represents a ‘parallel’ and ‘capitalist’ friendly interpretation of Marx which seems to be countering the orgy of post-Soviet congratulation – but in reality, is supporting and expressing jubilation in the collapse of the USSR and the Western attempt to bring down Socialist China in 1989! Derrida remained absolutely ‘silent’ when the 2011 Wikileaks proved virtually all of his assertions about China wrong! Derrida started his career by emulating Marx in his ability to expose the ‘inverted’ nature of the Bourgeois System – but deviated from Marx by unnecessarily extending this process into a Judeo-Christian (secular) expression of ‘spirituality’ – with each word and sentence no longer being attached (or associated) with the material reality from which it had originally emerged. Revealing ‘hidden’ meanings is one thing (nothing ‘new’) – but superimposing the boundless (and ‘mystical’) ‘essence’ of the Bourgeoise White privilege that defined his life was something quite different. These French-style shenanigans would have made Trotsky ‘turn’ in his grave – if only the protruding pickaxe had not prevented his putrefying corpse from rotating!
