Is that it?

I thought the "n" word was banned on these pages. Too many seem to be very sensitive about their weekend attire.

yeh no danger of a wide circle of friends there.

But this still comes from the angle that everyone does things seperately then play swaps. Rather than seeing production as a community effort with the sum total being divvied up.

Yeah it does, I think the global economy is too complicated/big to work it in that way (not meaning to tar by association but the Project Venus loons reckon it could be done with computers working out what goes where, I don't reckon it could be done). So you could have communities acting like that, in a way that families or communes might do now, but there'd still need to be swaps done between communities or individuals, which would need some kind of mechanism(s) to happen.

when you have a pakistani buying camden market and turning it into yuppie flats, yes, then you can.

I have always championed the working man and small businesses... Some of you just don't get it or thinks it's possible, the world is not black and white. You and others symbolise this.

My grandmother was a small businesswoman (A shopkeeper) she also worked as a warden in the blitz pulling out the injured and the dead in Londons East End. She never made shit loads of money (As I don't , many people employed earn way more than I do, including Electricians ... take note Citizen 66), so my family never inherited any great fortune and I lived with a mentally ill mother who couldn't work and we had jack shit. I went through hell as a kid , I know what its like to be poor and suffer, many on here moaning don't.

My background has been well listed on these forums, some of you cannot grasp that a person that can climb from abject poverty and an abusive domestic life can make good and still have credibility, this is the politics of envy. I don't buy it, mock and lol all you want.

I have watched with dismay, the economic events of in particular the last 15 years. The housing market out of control, the lack of affordable housing, the lower paid being worse off, the rich getting richer, the ridiculous wars started without any intelligent foresight. I have been wholly opposed to all of this and acknowledge that a massive correction needs to take place.

Jeremy Corbyn is my local MP, I have met the guy on many occasions and he knows my views, he is well known to me, my next door neighbour worked in his office with him when he was in Blackstock road. He is an honest and good man with forthright views. I was hugely pleased that he won the leadership election, I doubt I would agree with all of his views, but there is a huge dose of intelligent socialism needed across the richer nations. I will probably vote for him, which may surprise you. The media are slagging him and it is backfiring on them, they are scared of him, he is no Michael Foot.

The way I see it is that politics are way to polarised and confrontational. From the Eton toffs and political elite to the likes of Class War. We need to work together not have yo-yo views and fuck you cunts on the other side as we have in the past. The world is fucked up still as it always has been, communism and marxism didn't work and Capitalism or whatever you want to call it is overstuffed with greed and clearly out of control.

Great post. Sums up my thoughts but written mich bitter

My problem with gentrification is that it assumes lots of 'poor people' are making some exodus somewhere worse and that richer people are moving in. It doesn't account for the fact that in a good economy like ours people in general get richer as time goes by. It's not necessarily new rich people who live in an area, it's just people getting on and earning a few more bob.

Going after a 'hipster' place to me is just some stupid us and them division. If you care that people wear beards or eat stupid food in cafes it's you who has the problem. It's the dislike of something different, like racism or sexism or whatever. Divide and rule wins yet again.

if people are getting richer all the time then why are more children in poverty now than there were in 2010? have you utterly ignored the huge increase in rents which london's seen over the past 10 years? fuck it - you're full of shit on this one, supine, though i hope you're heart's in the right place.

bollocks. it is the sort of small, independent 'quirky' venture of which gentrification is made.

Would you include a bagel shop in your definition?

They may not be quirky now, but I seem to remember a time when bagels were a novelty.
