Either deconstructionists are among the dumbest people ever to get university teaching positions, or there is something sinister going on. But deconstructionists are not dumb, though at times they can put on a convincing act. So what are they really up to? As we learn from the hermeneutics of suspicion, whatever a text is hiding has to do with power, never with truth. It hardly seems a coincidence that many deconstructionist are Marxists. Naturally, this does not mean they are Marxists in any sense that the historical Marx or even Lenin would approve. Marxian deconstructionist recognize that most nontrivial sentences in the writings of Marx and Lenin have been falsified. They know that Marxian economics is a fraud. After years of watching Russian and Chinese and Cuban leaders impoverish every citizen in their nations, except the rich and powerful people at the top, we know that no Marxist cares about poor and oppressed people. Their entire program is keeping the power they have and smuggling as many American dollars as they can to their Swiss bank accounts. As for Marxian intellectuals in America, the name of their game is also power. They know that deconstructionism is bunk. The real purpose of the deconstructionist power brokers is to separate as many Americans as possible from their families and from their literature and traditions. If we cannot know the meaning of any text, then we cannot know the meaning of the Bible, including the Ten Commandments. Neither can we know the meaning of the United States Constitution or any other text that might sustain social order or provide meaning and direction to life. Once students become alienated from their families, their religion, their values, and their traditions, they will be like lambs prepared for the slaughter. And when that day comes, who do you suppose all the people with empty heads and empty chests will look to for their orders? They will look to their deconstructionist, Marxian, power-seeking professors who introduced them to the mysteries of a world without meaning. The real name of the deconstructionist game is not meaning or truth; it is power, raw political power.
