  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/104 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. The “Far-Right” Deception.\n\n_Chris Trotter_\n\n  * 🪧 A 2017 Morrinsville placard calling entity[\"politician\",\"Jacinda Ardern\",\"New Zealand Prime Minister\"] a “communist” became a memorable but largely mocked campaign moment during “Jacindamania.”\n\n\n\n  * 🤔 The label was widely seen as exaggerated, as Ardern’s politics aligned more with modern Labour figures like Tony Blair and Helen Clark than true communism.\n  * ⚔️ Political name-calling has deep roots in New Zealand, with both Right and Left historically using emotionally charged insults to discredit opponents.\n  * 🐎 In 1913, left-wing activists branded William Massey’s strike-breaking forces as “Cossacks,” invoking Tsarist brutality.\n  * 📰 By the 1970s, accusations shifted to “fascism,” with critics of Robert Muldoon warning of “creeping fascism,” often inaccurately.\n  * 📚 Terms like fascism and Nazism have specific historical meanings tied to figures like Adolf Hitler, but are frequently misused as rhetorical weapons.\n  * 💬 Today, “Far Right” has become the dominant political insult, especially among elites, often used loosely without clear definition.\n  * 🧑‍💼 The essay argues that this language is driven by the Professional-Managerial Class (PMC), a powerful group positioned between capital and labour with its own ideology.\n  * ⚖️ The PMC blends progressive ideals with technocratic, often authoritarian tendencies, opposing both free-market neoliberalism and populist movements.\n  * 🎯 It reframes political conflict by labelling both elite-driven reforms and grassroots dissent as “Far Right,” presenting them as a unified threat.\n  * 🏛️ In New Zealand, the PMC is portrayed as resisting a National-led push to shrink the state while also suppressing populist opposition from below.\n  * 🚫 The essay claims this could lead to increased restrictions on free expression, driven by institutions like universities and the public sector.\n  * 🧩 Ultimately, the “communist” label aimed at Ardern is portrayed as missing the real issue: the rise of a self-serving intermediary class consolidating power between rich and poor.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
