  We apply a method ("eLCQ") to find the asymptotic spectrum of a Hamiltonian
from its symmetries to two-dimensional adjoint QCD. Streamlining the approach,
we construct a complete set of asymptotic eigenfunctions in all parton sectors
and use it in a basis-function approach to find the spectrum of the full
theory. We are able to reproduce previous results including the degeneracy of
fermionic and bosonic masses at the supersymmetric point, and to understand the
properties of the lowest states in the massless theory.
  The approach taken here is continuous at fixed parton number, and therefore
complementary to standard (DLCQ-like) formulations. Despite its limitation to
rather small parton numbers, it can be used to test and validate conclusions of
other frameworks in an independent way.
