My Belief in The Supreme Being
By VJM
In very simple terms, my belief is that the supreme being is one that not only knows all but understands all, as to simply know is not enough. While my belief in the supreme being is somewhat my own thing the closest person that comes to mind is Thoth the Atlantean who was hailed in […]

Oh No, Anarchists!
By NZB3
Fairly on the mark, although the esteemed cartoonist has a different bent on property relations. How can a true anarchist insist that others abolish property per se? You try it your way, let others run society their way, and we’ll see who pisses off Elon Musk first.* — * Existential Comics has been picking fights […]

1940s: Defend New Zealand: Christchurch vs Auckland
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Defend New Zealand: Christchurch vs Auckland “Here, the sons of a race only two or three generations removed from a neolithic people, handle rifles and automatic weapons with almost affectionate care.” “I saw him doing things with a tommy-gun which would give a Chicago plug-ugly the horrors…For the photographer he went into a wildly whooping […]

Is New Zealand Now A Police State?
By VJM
The Great New Zealand Chimpout appears to now be a permanent state of affairs, as the Sixth Labour Government has doubled down on its suppression of free speech. Far from once having been the world’s leader in human rights, things are now worse than anyone could have thought possible. This essay asks – is New […]

1980: Moscow Olympics
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 19 July 1980, the Moscow Olympics opened for business. New Zealand officially snubbed the Games for the competing event, the Liberty Bell Classic. Westerners weren’t cool with the Commies invading Afghanistan. The Yanks gave Osama bin Laden a very particular set of skills. Rambo pitched in. Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand […]

Agree With Us Or You’re White
By NZB3
This racist statement is made without irony. Here a premise, ‘racism exists’, is defined not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. Does not repair to evidence, does not seek to convince or persuade. Does not appeal to the reader’s intellect. It sets up race-based in/out […]

1930s: Systematic Thrashings
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Kiwi writer Kevin Ireland was born (18 July 1933) into the Silent Generation, as Strauss-Howe call it. Or, from the Theory of Moral Cultures perspective, the Friendly Road Victimhood Culture era. I’ve written about Ireland before in connection to J.K.Baxter’s personal poem of warning to his friend not to praise the state. Ref. 1957: Only That […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
“There needs to be an international governing body with teeth that can enforce global climate change initiatives.” – Reddit (contemporary sentiment) By Gaia, yes, an international governing body! And a task force of ignorant delinquents called ‘Planeteers’ to get themselves into deep shit trying to blindly enforce its edicts. And when their interventions go south […]

The Situated Nature of Social Reality
By NZB3
Here an institution (eg ‘apartheid’, eg ‘racism’, eg ‘sexism’) is defined by not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. To those who of us with post-Enlightenment minds this picture exposes a simple nonsense. How can the woman in this picture be against ‘sexism’ when she’s privileging […]

Captain William Baldwin died at the end of this month, 30 July 1917. It is for he that the world’s second steepest residential street is named.

Brown Razzle Dazzle
By NZB3
Great cutting through the ephemera to the root core here by VJM. He helps us recognise that the contemporary ‘Brown Communism’ is simply Marxist Communism by another name… “Brown Communism is a very similar memeplex. The difference is that, instead of appealing to the Western working class, it appeals to non-whites as a quasi-racial bloc.” […]
