Have your say
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Thank you for your suggestion, we’ll put it in the suggestion box we refer to when making our political decisions. The thing is, my naive friend, my not-an-anarchist-yet friend, we don’t give a damn what you think. That was a feint, theatre, a pretence to get the sanction of you: the victim. Actually we know […]

1973: Nazi Role Models
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
1973, Why is the Woman’s Weekly reader concerned about how things worked out for the Nazi reproductive/social strategy? My answer is that there is a healthy drive in every one of us to know the long-term consequences of different life choices. We want to know that the good go to heaven and the evil to […]

Why Victimhood Is Aggression
By VJM
In a moral climate as degenerate as ours, weakness has become a virtue. We have come to believe that anyone who is weak must be innocent and the victim of misfortune or prejudice, and is therefore owed compensation. This has led to interest groups scrambling to position themselves as the biggest victim. This essay explains […]

Why Don’t Maori Leaders Represent Their People When It Comes to Cannabis?
By VJM
(Photoshop credit: Kayla Chamberlain) It’s not a secret to VJM Publishing readers that there is a great love of cannabis among the Maori population. The Maori people were never convinced that cannabis prohibition was a good idea, and they were always more heavily impacted by the enforcement of the law than non-Maoris. So why don’t […]

Parasitism by Victimhood
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
When it comes to Victimhood Culture (VC) I’m still on a journey of discovery. A great deal of it in theory and in our history I do understand, much more than I’ve yet set down. That’s why I made a brief effort to jot down the rudimentary fabric of VC within the larger framework of […]

1960: Nelson-Blenheim Railway
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 1 March 1960, a crowd of some 3000 people gathered in Nelson on the occasion of work starting on the Blenheim to Nelson Railway. Or, Nelson to Blenheim Railway (depending on your point of view.) Really brings it home how much Labour 2.0 were conning everyone for the election. Getting 3000+ people’s […]

We’re All Slaves On One Big Tax Plantation
By VJM
Most people today are horrified by the idea of chattel slavery. The practice is widely considered one of the most vile and evil institutions in human history, and for good reason. What most people fail to realise, however, is that we are still slaves living on a big plantation, but instead of cotton it’s all […]

Anarkiwi vs Harry Browne
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
But that’s not quite true is it, Harry? There are gangs fighting over pharmaceutical and alcohol territories, even primary produce such as honey and apples. The warriors dress in suits and make millions of dollars, investing heavily in political patronage as they seek greater market rents by using the law and “food safety” to exclude […]

Who Owns Yours?
By Gekko
There is a meme that appears to hold a lot of currency in libertarian circles, and which is often used by those who, for want of a better expression, really should know better. It’s the idea that the state, in claiming ‘rent’ from property owning individuals, reveals itself as the ‘true’ owner of your property. […]

Can We Euthanise Parliament, And Start Again?
By VJM
Animal lovers and ethologists in New Zealand were dealt a blow yesterday by the news that four baboons at Wellington Zoo had to be put down, on account of that their social structure had collapsed. This social collapse had led to increased interpersonal aggression, and it was decided that it would be cruel to allow […]

1937: Death of Rua Kenana
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Rua Kenana died 82 years ago yesterday (20/Feb/1937.) The great Maori anarchist who looks like Bob Marley. By his charisma and Bible wielding, Kenana created a settlement called New Jerusalem in the Urewera Ranges. These Maoris really showed the world and they were on their way to having their own nation.
