Anyone thinking wholes and parts are ontic categories is either a fraudester or a stupid philosopher (i.e. doubly fraudster). There is no such ontic categories. You construct new wholes to reveal the underlying fragments, you glue the fragments to uncover new wholes ad infinitum.

The whole idea of being for fragmentation, (or even a less charged term like decentralization), for its own sake is deluded. Obviously the project of relentlessly totalizing and centralizing did not work out but you would have to be pretty naive to idealize the precise opposite.

Of course, "balance" is just as bad, a liberal corruption of the dialectic. The point is that the contradiction should produce a reconciliation, not that ones prefered side should proceed anomically up it own ass.
