Ummmm... New Zealand became an independent Dominion in 1907

NZ accepted independence in 1947.

Such fundamental fact spinning casts doubt on your other assertions:
- that NZ enjoyed disproportionate success on most every battlefield of the last two centuries...with no infrastructure.
- that NZ was not British, and has the Victoria Crosses to prove it.
- that socialism works, and is an obligation of civilization.

If I had a turn-key nation handed to me, I might develop socialist tendencies as well.

NZ became an INDEPENDENT Dominion in 1907 and to all practical intents and purposes, autonomous. You clearly have no practical understanding of this, and are seeking to engage me in an unprofitable and futile debate.

Like I said, I disengage from this discussion: your ignorance is embarrassing, and it leads you to be highly offensive to my countrymen, our proud history and to the veterans of our wars.

This channel is now closed. I do not welcome further discussion with you on this matter. And if you continue to be deliberately insulting I shall report it as Abuse.

Fair warning.
