"Obscurantists". The word that you meant to use, OP, is "obscurantists", noun (plural): a person who makes intentionally confusing arguments couched in ten-dollar words and flowery academic language, not in order to make an intellectually honest point, but to play-act a lesser form of intelligence and show off vocabulary.

Related to this is "obfuscation": the intentional practice of concealing a subject of discussion in unhelpfully complicated language. From this, derives a common bumper-sticker joke using two uncommon English words: "Eschew Obfuscation!", a self-referential joke to "remove confusions!"

Related words to these concepts: hacks, dilettantes [sic?], 'mandarins'.

All of them may apply to some extent to Derrida. I will not hazard to say about Hegel.
