[lbo-talk] Occupy Oakland's imminent implosion and the wider effects

[123hop at comcast.net]

I'm not saying it should be pure, I'm just describing the effect of these actions. Some are due to police action and inflitration, some are due to slumming/riot porn, some are due to acting out. 

Like I said, Occupy Oakalnd has a level of popular support I have never seen before in my life; these black block type movements will alienate people. That they will.

Such elements, tendencies, etc are simply part of the world in which
leftists have to  operate the best they can. A couple weeks ago I wondered
if anyone could supply a one-sentence blast at Anti-Fed sentiments. (Or
something like that.) Then I decided fuck it. We just have to accept such
nonsense as part of the weather and ignore it.

A world in which left actions could be pure is a world that woudn't need a
left.
