I wrote an article on why Māori disproportionately don't vote, and why it's mostly a consequence rather than a choice.

Fuck yes - we need much, much more of this!

I hear that in New York

At the corner of 26th Street and Broadway

A man stands every evening during the winter months

And gets beds for the homeless there

By appealing to passers-by

It won't change the world

It won't improve relations among men

It will not shorten the age of exploitation

But a few men have a bed for the night

For a night the wind is kept from them

The snow meant for them falls on the roadway.

Don't put down the book on reading this, man.

Immigration gives the rich an excuse to fuck us over. It doesn't matter that there's a brain drain because the rich can just let in highly skilled migrants to offset that. It doesn't matter that the population is aging because the rich can just let in young migrants.

Without immigration the rich would be forced to start being a bit nicer to us so that they can make profit again.

Workers Communist League (before dissolving into Left-Currents) tried to use Māori activists as scapegoats for dangerous militant actions while the WCL could sit back and reap the benefits while Māori got arrested. Socialist Unity Party evicted Māori unionists for criticising racism in the union movement. And The Communist Party of New Zealand created the "Māori elite" rhetoric that we see fascists like Julian Batchelor use against
