Parasitic Movements of the Deconstructive?

[from http://missanielablog.com/the-human-parasite]

If we seek to disassemble those monstrous bodies of brutal profiteering and extracting encompassment there is a necessity to work from the inside. We resisting tinkerers and wannabe re-evolutionaries must take from our immediate environs the materials and energies required to build up our powers and weapons, and then attack the organs of these dominant bodies, becoming an immanent dis-ease gathering and extending our effects in ways that disable the abusive capacities of our much larger host. We must allow our dis-ease to be an active resistance that devastates, opening degenerate spaces for novel possibilities to some day, some how emerge.

“The movements of deconstruction do not shake up structures from the outside. They are neither possible and effective, nor can they set their aim, except by inhabiting those structures. Inhabiting them in a certain way, because one always inhabits and all the more when one does not suspect it. Operating necessarily from the inside, borrowing all the strategic and economic resources of subversion from the old structure, borrowing them structurally, that is to say without being able to isolate their elements and atoms, the enterprise of deconstruction is always, in a certain way, swept away by its own work.” (Derrida, Of Grammatology, p.24).

"All I have done … is dominated by the thought of a virus, what could be called a parasitology, a virology, the virus being many things…. The virus is in part a parasite that destroys, that introduces disorder into communication. Even from the biological standpoint, this is what happens with a virus; it derails a mechanism of the communicational type, its coding and decoding. On the other hand, it is something that is neither living nor non-living; the virus is not a microbe. And if you follow these two threads, that of a parasite which disrupts destination from the communicative point of view—disrupting writing, inscription, and the coding and decoding of inscription—and which on the other hand is neither alive nor dead, you have the matrix of all that I have done since I began writing." - Derrida
