Pamphlet Repost: Bash the Rich Radical History Tour of Notting Hill

27.10.2007 20:54

Reposting the pamphlet to save people from having to download it from the corporate wordpress...

"A riotous, left wing, pop cultural, psychogeographic historical ramble through the streets of the forever beating heart of the capital’s most left field neighbourhood - Notting Hill - courtesy of anarcho-historian and psychgeographer Vague."

"From race course riots to race riots; from Mick Farren’s Social Deviants to Shaznay Lewis’s All Saints; GK Chesterton and Orwell; the Angry Brigade and King Mob; The Clash and Class War; Rough Trade and The Roughler; Police and Thieves - it’s all here - from the Westway to the world - the secret and untold story of the other Notting Hill, where media hype, local protest and class war have gone hand-in-hand down the centuries."

Some things that I remember... SPEED KILLS around the corner from (and predating) the Apocalypse Hotel, as kids we thought it refered to the danger from speeding cars, we hadn't heard the Gill Scott-Heron song...

The rusting corrogated iron and crumbling buildings.

Pirate radio: DBC, rebel radio, tune in if you're skanking, the live broadcasts from the stage at Portabello Green.

The radical events at Meanwhile Gardens, watching Aswad from the roof of the sheds across the street, 'let's hear it for the Ladbroke Grove posse', the gig that became the Live and Direct album. 'African children, living in a concrete situation' being sung in the shadow of Trelick towers...

The vibe at carnival before the clampdown on the sound systems, being a sole white kid in the crush by the row of now demolished houses by the Acklam Hall and feeling safe and liberated, the cops couldn't stop people smoking spilff's here and they knew it.

The original Rough Trade shop with the cartwheel in the window and the massive sound system speakers.

Scoring 16th's on the front line.

Gidon Sam's book, Punk, with the safty pin in the front cover, hearing that he OD'd in NYC.

Let's Go Crazy, another Carnival song by The Clash, 'young men know when the sun has set, darkness comes to settle the debt, owed by a year of sus and suspect...' and London's Burning, 'up and down the Westway in and out the lights, what a great traffic system it's so bright...'.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

Someone political said that once...If i remember correctly

Good to see Ian Bone has joined the likes of every anarcho-punk band from the 80's by reforming himself and putting on a re-union show.

I'll be down the front.

Shallow Logic

29.10.2007 15:49

Lógica furada
Pedro Mundim 24/10/2007 23:09

Então, a fórmula da riqueza é explorar mão-de-obra barata? Se fosse assim, os países de Primeiro Mundo seriam mais pobres do que nós, pois a mão de obra lá custa muito mais caro do que aqui.

Sua premissa é falsa. Se, por aqui, os pobres fossem menos pobres, os ricos não seriam menos ricos por causa disto. Eles seriam, isto sim, AINDA MAIS RICOS, pois disporiam de um mercado consumidor maior para seus produtos. A grande desigualdade social é a síndrome de um modo de produção primitivo, que gera pouca riqueza à custa de muito trabalho, como, por exemplo, a produção de cana-de-açúcar. Este primitivismo não interessa a ninguém, mas mudá-lo não depende da vontade dos ricos. Ele só muda muito lentamente, à medida que novos modos de produção são implementados. Foi o que aconteceu com os atuais países ricos no passado, e é o que está acontecendo no presente com os países emergentes.

Você imagina os ricos como uma "classe dominante", espécie de irmandade secreta, ardilosa e maquiavélica, que luta para manter os demais na ignorância e na pobreza. Isto é fantasia, produto de imaginação e ressentimento. Os ricos não são diferentes de mim ou de você. Não são piores nem melhores que os outros. São apenas mais ricos.


Comentário Questionavel
Maschera 25/10/2007 07:23

Logo de início a abstração dizendo que os países desenvolvidos, seriam mais pobres que os em desenvolvimento, pois a mão de obra la é cara ja se mostra bem duvidosa. Não necessariamente a mão de obra sempre foi cara, e que houve um processo histórico para o encarecimento dessa mesma, isso não há como negar.E sem contar o fato da exploração de mão de obra e recursos que ocorreram históricamente com os países sub e em desenvolvimento.
Então logo, classificar a premissa do artigo como falsa, é erroneo, de ou má fé.
Pois o argumento dado no comentário se mostra como uma opinião e não como fato, ou seja, esta no mesmo nível do argumento dado no artigo, só que com o objetivo de invalidalo. Ótimo, o Brasil produz cana-de-açucar sim, mas também produz bens de capital. O problema da desigualdade no Brasil antes de econômico é, estrutural.
NÃO EXISTE VERDADE ABSOLUTA
