But as nonpartiipants in the Oakland Occupation we should NOT be discussing fragments of that Occupation. To focus on a fragment (the Black Bloc) is irresponsible individualism. We can focus on the whole of the Oakland events and their relationship to the whole of left activity in the U.S., but to focus on particular actions there, I repeat, is irresponsible self-expression which serves no political purpose whatever (except possibly to sow divisions among u.s. leftists).

Following this, the things said here about a kind of politics as "self-expression" aren't far off.
