So Marxism tends to be a toy that deconstructionists pick up and put down at will. (If you emphasize the way in which the system has a mind of its own that is bigger than the BBB who run it, you are a member of the Hardt-Negri school, as epitomized by their wildly popular new book Empire.)

Antonio Negri is a member of the Italian Red Brigade, and still serving time for his role in the assassination of a major party leader.(See Here) Terrorism is, in some ways, practical deconstructionism.

I don't quite understand Mr. Locke's aversion to David Foster Wallace. I quite enjoyed his Infinite Jest, albeit when I was a naiive freshman. Perhaps a re-reading is in order.

Are you planning to read Empire? I almost feel forced into reading it since it's getting so much press.
