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. [1] It grew to 3000 members and held its first national conference in 1908. The conference condemns political action by a two to one majority. [1] Anarchists within the Christchurch branch of the Socialist Party left to form an IWW Recruiting Union in 1910. [2] The Freedom Group is set up by Philip Josephs in Wellington in 1913 and lasts for a year. [3]
