Hard Eugenics And Soft Eugenics

By VJM

In the aftermath of World War II, certain ideas came to be blamed for the war, and so became extremely unfashionable. Anti-Semitism, supremacist nationalism and eugenics were among the foremost of these ideas. However, much like slavery after the American Civil War, some of these ideas just changed form rather than disappear. When the Industrial […]

1918: Government Placebos for Influenza

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

New Zealand’s 1918 Influenza Plague, above all, was a result of the expanded State. Having been conditioned to unprecedented centralised control for The Great War the people submitted to going along with being led by the inept. This Blomfield cartoon shows the hapless victim precariously at the mercy of Government placebos while private Citizens Committees […]

The Equalitarian Dogma – The World’s Most Damaging Lie

By VJM

The most strenuously defended falsehood in the world today is not a religion (at least not a recognised one), but a pseudo-scientific dogma. It is the dogma of Equalitarianism. This is the assertion that there are no inherent differences between different human groups, or at least no psychological ones. This dogma, as this essay will […]

The main street in Amberley, North Canterbury, is a big wide straight and flat affair with…I dunno, tractor dealerships and general stores either side of it. And, a big bronze statue of WW2 hero […]

1961: Upham Interview- Not Dark Yet

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Captain Charles Upham (died today in New Zealand history, 22 November, 1994) had some things to say about us in 1961.

1944: Mark of the Lion

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Captain Charles Upham, New Zealand Expeditionary Force, one of the very greatest warriors this country ever produced. Although, I wouldn’t call him a soldier if I could get away without having to; ‘Warrior’ is far more apt. Why? Because this Cantabrian had the same core Anarchichal rebelliousness toward authority within him that so many of […]

1835: Moriori Comet of Carnage

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Today in New Zealand history, 19 November, 1835, Moriori culture reached the highest point it ever would achieve. Everything was downhill from here. At the same moment, Halley’s Comet also reached its closest point to our sun (perihelion) and so shone its brightest. Captain George Vancouver discovered the Moriori’s home in 1791, calling it the Chatham Islands. […]

He was pilloried, called a lunatic and a nutjob, and […]

At the time of next year’s General Election, there will be at least two referendums. One will relate to cannabis law reform, the other to euthanasia. Both of them are likely to be fairly divisive, pitting large sections of the New Zealand population against each other. One of these conflicts, as this essay will examine, […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Check out how New Zealand chocolate consumption has changed here. In particular, how Cadbury have flip-flopped on their old virtues… “The thicker the block, the better the choc”- Cadbury advertising in 1950 vs “We’ve made the call to reduce the size of our Cadbury family blocks so that they can…”- Cadbury advertising 2019 I’ve got […]
