The World Socialist Party of New Zealand (WSPNZ) is a revolutionary socialist and anti-Leninist political party in New Zealand founded in 1930 as the Socialist Party of New Zealand (SPNZ). The WSPNZ is affiliated with the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB) and the World Socialist Movement (WSM).
The party was formed by members of the Petone Marxian Club and New Zealand Marxian Association, with significant involvement from former members of the Australian Socialist Party. In January 1934, the party created a journal, named the Socialist Review, however due to increasing economic difficulties, it stopped publication in July of that year. In the 1940s, the party co-operated on Socialist Comment.
Radio
The WSPNZ ran Radio Imagine 88.3 FM out of Manurewa, Auckland, starting as early as 2001.
