The most important paragraphs, to me:

Here lies the difficult truth for many Pākehā [the Maori word for non-native New Zealanders]: your ancestors may not have been colonisers by choice. Many were the descendants of the English poor, pushed off their own land by enclosure, then shipped off to build lives on land stolen from Māori.

This is capitalism’s double theft, stealing land from the peasantry in England, then using those same dispossessed people to colonise indigenous land abroad. Settler working-class people are not responsible for the theft of land, but they have often been its beneficiaries, whether knowingly or not.

Acknowledging this does not mean embracing guilt—it means embracing solidarity. It means recognising that both Māori and working-class Pākehā have a common enemy: the system that profits off enclosure, exploitation, and empire.
