“Moral posturing is how victory is decided”
By NZB3
“There is no such thing as debate anymore. Moral posturing is how victory is decided,” says Anarchist intellectual Dan McGlashan. For some time, and some more time to come, I must agree. What we may lament is the loss of a logical discourse where conclusions are reached and facts are respected. In a debate de […]

1872: Dannevirke
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in New Zealand history, 15 October 1872, the town of Dannevirke was founded by Scandinavians. The names means “The Danes’ Work” or “The Dane’s Village.” Either or both fit. These children from the land of the midnight sun were set up to fail, in my opinion, by The State. The Vogel Gang¹ (1872-76) hatched […]

The U.N has Run Out of Other People’s Money
By NZB3

The Second Tenet of Anarcho-Homicidalism
By VJM
The Second Tenet of Anarcho-Homicidalism is known as the Iron Tenet. It’s called this because, like the Clay Tenet, it lays down a cold law of human moral reality: you’re allowed to kill anyone trying to enslave you. This essay takes a closer look. The Iron Tenet is the step after the Clay Tenet. Once […]

1803: New Zealand’s Founding Father George Bass…almost
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
George Bass was nearly the founding father of New Zealand and would have been but for his mystery death. Famous in Australia for many things, especially identifying Tasmania as an island separated from the mainland by Bass Straight, we hardly know him at all. Like Logan Campbell, Father of Auckland, Bass came Down Under to […]

The Minor Renaissance And The Major Renaissance
By VJM
Renaissance means ‘rebirth’, and is the name given to the rebirth of the intellectual, philosophical and scientific culture of the West some 600 years ago.

1900s: Fake Plastic Maoriland
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
We’re starting to better understand where the fantasy idea of Maori as noble savages came from in the first place. Especially these days, the pre-Cook times of the Maoris are re-imagined as a sort of Noble-Savages-in-Smurf-Village. The reality is that superstition and the spear ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world […]
