Anarchism in New Zealand explained
The political philosophy of anarchism has had a small presence in New Zealand politics.
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 IWW Recruiting Union in 1910.[1] The Freedom Group is set up by Philip Josephs in Wellington in 1913 and lasts for a year.
