May 2008: It's Anarchy! - autonomous activism in Aotearoa

paris68aCars.jpg
40 years after the global 1968 uprising, the spirit of rebellion and resistance is alive and well in Aotearoa . But with global food scarcity causing riots, the beginnings of climate change, mass ecological destruction, capitalist wars and boundless human and animal exploitation, this is no time to sit around. Get out there and build autonomous communities and take action in solidarity with the earth and all its people oppressed by capitalism, imperialism and bureaucracy.

Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland: Poneke/Wellington: Otautahi/Christchurch: And at the end of May, get out on the streets and join your local Critical Mass in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch .

Forums, films, concerts and food are a far cry from May '68.

Great title... if only it were true!

Breaking the down the news that $3 a litre at the petrol station followed by threats of a blackout is nothing new. People have once been told that environmental pollution is caused by alien scent and they believed it. The problem is; the people will have to accept it because there is no alternative. And that is pure and simple monopoly.

We have a country which pays for business’s electricity bill and waste dump or carbon footprint whether we like it or not. It’s the ultimate control by manipulating the means of survival. The people have no choice but to comply. If they don’t like it then they should leave for Australia, otherwise your days are numbered.

Everyone is now paying exactly the same amount of tax whether you earn a million or a thousand per year. By the next decade, all the poor would have left us, God rest their souls....

Over in Aussie, the Prime Minister Mr. Rudd engages the people in making policies, his government works around it. Over here, the Prime Minister Mr. Kerr and his round table lay down the law and for the people including the government to follow.

Both National and Labour have no answer to the Business roundtable, and I am in solidarity with the pain and struggle our people are enduring. Price hikes are not justified, electricity, petrol, food, housing, healthcare, the hell with greedy business. I fully support this anarchy protest against business assault on the innocent. Is this what ANZAC stands for? I don’t think so... I’d say we give it to them.

May be the Trade Union and their allies are not interested in the plight of the poor struggle. They are only in for the rich class

May 1968 was overrated anyway. Time to build something way better.

Check out communityaction.net.nz/treewalk/ for some cool Motueka action happening this month
Peace Tree Walk is a community group who plant trees, visit schools, walk, and sing music. To briefly sum it up...

"May 1968 was overrated anyway" true that. Where are all these rebels anyway- worried about the "cost of living" - no doubt.
Useless - failed activist of the worst kind. Third Way bullshit.

"May 1968 was overrated anyway" true that. Where are these rebels 40 years latter eh?
Worried about the cost of living etc.
Third Way nonsense.

maybe read "how i forgot the spanish war and learned to love anarchy." i'm not alive in 1968, i'm alive now. read. learn. act.
Can we please stop discussing theory and start acting Tactically and (most important) -Strategically. First try to comprehend the situation as accurately as possible.-then Act. Cheers from four corners for Waihopai attack.
