Page "Socialism in New Zealand" Paragraph 0

The degree to which socialism in New Zealand has been of significance in mainstream politics is debated, as varying definitions of socialism and communism make the extent of its influence difficult to measure.

New Zealand has a complicated assortment of socialist causes and organizations.

Some of these play a considerable role in public activism-some commentators claim that New Zealand socialists are more prominent in things such as the anti-war movement than in promoting actual socialism itself.

Other groups are strongly committed to radical socialist revolution.
