Fair enough question

The Londoncentricity of us Londoners (well, ex-Londoner) including those of us claiming to have a radical agenda is a mirror of the centralisation of the state. It should not need saying that this is really negative and counter productive.
Its like other oppressions (eg sexism, racism, classism) where the dominant is assumed to be the default, and the oppressed is "other", deviant, needing a label. (bell hooks excellent "ain't i a woman" brought my issues with this to my attention.)
The deviant, needing an adjective (eg women's prison, women's football etc or witness the popular interchangeability of "English" and "British" which wouldn't happen with "Scottish", "Welsh" or even sometimes (not enough...) with people from Yorkshire) is made to feel shit, and internalises it.
It's really noticeable with accents. "Standard English" is what the upper-middle classes (not even, really, the ruling classes, though I don't claim to be a linguist, just seems that way) in London speak. Everyone else has an accent, and is portrayed as uneducated, idiocyncratic, etc.
Rant over.
If we:
(1) want to involve people not already "part of the scene" (clique, closed group of self satisfied exclusive radicals, as you will...) we need to be more explicitly welcoming and not assume anybody worthwhile will have prior knowledge. And we need to do this consciously, just like we have to work on our other socially constructed fuck-ups like all of our deep rooted classism, racism, able bodied-ism, sexism etc and not assume that because we have started thinking with a radical critique that that makes us fully reconstructed and above reproach.
(2) want to challenge the centralism of the state we need to be explicitly decentralised in our relationships with the whole planet, but especially those within the same political state. And personally I think we should be more understanding of "nationalism" (and I don't mean of the flag waving, identifying with "our own ruling class" variety) and have a better developed critique. Lots of national liberation struggles are obviously deserving of our support (Palestine, Chiapas, Bougainville(sp?)) and its like needing to have women only spaces, or organising as blacks, its a process that is needed by those who have been oppressed.
