Of course Dr Octavious Hartwich from hard right think tank linked to Atlas supports David ‘Thanos’ Seymour’s plan to half the State

NZ Initiative ‘absolutely delighted’ Seymour wants to slash ministerial line-up

A New Zealand think tank that suggested the need to downsize the country’s executive roles last year is applauding David Seymour’s suggestion to do just that.

Executive director for the New Zealand Initiative, Oliver Hartwich, says the current system has “become quite absurd” and he’s “absolutely delighted there’s a politician” who’s willing to consolidate the way governments run.

Free Market Supervillain Dr Octavious Hartwich loves David Seymour’s Thanos plan to gut the State in half because that is the same perspective the Far Right Free Market Think Tank ‘The Atlas Network’ who is aligned with NZ Initiative also holds.

The mighty George Monbiot from the Guardian laid out the Atlas Network playbook last year…

And who, in turn, are the junktanks? Many refuse to divulge who funds them, but as information has trickled out we have discovered that the Atlas Network itself and many of its members have taken money from funding networks set up by the Koch brothers and other rightwing billionaires, and from oil, coal and tobacco companiesand other life-defying interests. The junktanks are merely the intermediaries. They go into battle on behalf of their donors, in the class war waged by the rich against the poor. When a government responds to the demands of the network, it responds, in reality, to the money that funds it.

…Oil, coal, tobacco, right wing billionaires, the fucking Koch brothers, dark money influencing our political system so much so that we see the exact same agenda being rolled out here!

The Atlas Network threatened The Daily Blog late last year, and we have to be very clear that the hard right anti-Māori, anti-Treaty, anti-worker, anti-environment, anti-renter, anti-beneficiary, anti-disabled agenda that is being blitzkrieged through in the first year under the National/ACT/NZF Government is being aided, abetted and influenced by the Hard Right International Free Market Think Tank, the Atlas Network.

The local tentacle of the Atlas Network, The NZ Initiative, want ACTs Thanos plan because the entire drive of these free market privatisation glee clubs is to amputate the State permanently…

…this is being driven under the guise of ‘cost saving’ using ‘market dynamics’, but what that garbage all misses is that the role of the state is to provide services minus the profit motive!

Government agencies aren’t supposed to make a profit, they are there to serve the people!

What the NZ Initiate and ACTs Thanos plan will do is mutilate the State so that you feel this…

…don’t allow yourselves to be conned by corporations pretesting their interests are your interests!
