How The Political Party Works
By NZB3
This picture shows how political parties appear to work to the Statists who excuse what they see. A stove with a live burning, heating nothing. The pan on the wrong element with broken egg shells in it. The raw egg has fallen below the pan onto the stove top beside a dead burner. It appears […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in New Zealand history, 7 December, 1963, a dispute in the hospitality industry led to two men being shot dead at 115 Bassett Road, Remuera, Auckland.

1860s: The New Zealand Death
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Drownings in New Zealand, at one time, became so pronounced that it began to be referred to as The New Zealand Death. As often happens in mainstream history writing an idea is blindly copied examined, its truth taken for granted. One influential writer sets down an idea and it becomes repeated and quoted over and […]

1885: A Damning Epitaph
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Here is a grave stone in Ahaura Cemetry, West Coast, that tells a story for the generations. John Cressey had drowned in 1885 aged just 14 years, another victim of what our history often calls The New Zealand Death. In pioneering days, it is said, our people died so frequently of drownings that this term […]

1981: Rixen
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Between 26 August and 4 December, 1981, ex-employees of the Rixen Manufacturing in Levin occupied the factory. This is New Zealand’s longest industrial sit-in in our history. It gained them nothing. Why did they do it? There is no rational tactical advantage to flogging a dead horse. Rixen’s owner, Ken Dungey, had evidently been unable […]

Kayfabe Army
By NZB3
‘In a surprising joint press statement today, the New Zealand Army and New Zealand Police and Julie Anne Genter all denied involvement in recent publicity photos.’ Of course they didn’t. But we are expected to believe three recent events were not part of at least three separate Public Relations desks in efforts to make the […]

1951: Death of Peter Buck
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Died today in history, 1 December, 1951, a very great New Zealander, Peter Buck. He stands here with a monument in Tahiti. In death, Buck sort of became a monument himself since his ashes are incorporated into a monument in Taranaki. The son of an Irish policeman, Buck had a Maori mother so also inherited […]

Anarchy and Speculation
By NZB3
Humans do not know everything like some omniscient god. Even in a Deterministic universe the state of knowledge isn’t yet enough for us to figure out all outcomes and even if we could it would not be time well spent. Therefore, we speculate. We guess. We estimate. We have opinions. We form stereotypes. None of […]

1963: Auckland Regional Authority
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Auckland Regional Authority (1963-89) was a great leap forward in centralising political power into the hands of fewer representatives. Communities that wanted to keep their identity and their control over the assets their ancestors had built were right to fear it. When Auckland City turned 100 this float was fielded for the 1971 parade. It’s […]

When Political Correctness Became Prospective
By NZB3
Papanui-Innes Community Board, Christchurch, are so Woke that they’re cancelling the memorialisation of people at the meta level, before they’re even disgraced! This is a new level of anti-human and anti-achievement and anti-recognition. It’s like something out of the Victimhood Culture from 20 years in the future but here we are. “A new development in […]

1979: Misremembering Erebus
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in History, 28 November 1979, our Government (National 3.0) killed 257 New Zealanders by flying them into an Antarctic volcano named Mt Erebus. There is no memorial in New Zealand marking the disaster but our Government is hell-bent on ramming one down our throats. At the Parnell Rose Gardens(!?) Why do we need an […]
