History

The loosely organised New Zealand Socialist Party was formed in 1901 and included syndicalists and anarchists. The Wellington group became a centre for anti-parliamentary socialists. It grew to 3000 members and held its first national conference in 1908. The conference condemns political action by a two to one majority. Anarchists within the Christchurch branch of the Socialist Party left to form an Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) Recruiting Union in 1910. The Freedom Group was set up by Philip Josephs in Wellington in 1913 and lasted for a year.
