Still not one thing to say about one important issue in this election year Jared. Instead a recommendation to go and read books about the history of anarchism in NZ. Give us a break from the Bible bashing! I think you should think about the issues that concern large numbers of people who are casting an anti-National vote, instead of expecting people to take an interest in your particular ism. The mountain won't come to Mohammed, you know. Do you actually have anything to say about the pros and cons of Working for Families, the changes in industrial law, paid parental leave, the establishment of Maori TV, and
the slowdown in increases in health spending as a result of this year's tax cuts? These are all issues of real concern to many working class NZ voters which I've mentioned and you have bypassed in favour of boring lectures about the history of your ism. Have you got anything to say about any issue which doesn't involve droning 'All gains made by working in the system are limited, the real road is anarchism, join the movement, read my old books'. If you can't offer an anarchist take on any of the burning issues then you might as well give up. At least the Marxist groups whtever their other faults do study economics and social conditions and come up with proposals and policies (ie the groups that have been campaigning to take GST off food...a good idea which people can relate to, unlike all this empty rhetoric you've been offering...
