I think you will find Derrida wa a Marxist too, at least in the sixties. Post-modernism is a reaction by Marxist to the failures of Marxism and Maoism. George Orwell put it best " They (socialist) don't love the poor they hate the rich".

Adam Smith supported closed borders? I mean, that doesn’t really affect me since I think the central ideas of his work are a bit naïve anyway Closing borders doesn’t “make the world safe” though, it does the opposite. It keeps the desperate stuck in dangerous places.
