Anarchism and the future of Korea.

 Anarchism is considered a relic of the old times in Korean society. It's been a long time since deliberation has been forgotten because of the word definition of "anarchism = anarchism." In addition, it was not until 1999 that it was recognized as one of the top 10 ideas that moved Korea in the 20th century. However, these anarchists were the ones who fought more fiercely for freedom and peace than anyone else under colony of Japanese Imperialism. They are the ones who threw their bodies together, such as Danjae Shin Chae-ho and Na Cheol. However, for the forgotten 50 years, we have lived in a society where we cannot even think about what Anakism is. Anarchist, who shared a line with early communism in the dichotomy of me or you, was treated as a person at risk of overthrowing the system. This is also insignificant for those who have taken the communist route. Criticizing the contradiction of the realization of an equal society by the elite power pursued by communism, they were also eye-catching to themselves. The anarchist seemed to be going through the "end of history." But now, Anakism in a new era is starving. Anarchism, as you often know, refers to 'anarchy'. However, the government at this time refers to the "government as power" rather than the "government as a form." This idea emerges in the West in an era when capitalism attacked the world in the form of imperialism. You are born with the idea of pursuing a "state without power" for "absolute freedom, equality, and ultimate peace" while criticizing the nature of capitalism with the duality of suppressing freedom and exploiting freedom in the name of freedom. The anarchism of our history is transformed beyond early nationalism into a post-anarchist movement centered on the left of nationalism. Of course, in the early days, he was quite allied with the communist, but he walked on his own path while grasping the contradictions of communist thought. Danjae Body-ho is one of the people who combined nationalism and anarchism in Korea. Danjae Shin Chae-ho accepted Anakism around 1923 during the independence movement for the country under Japanese colonial rule. In the process of witnessing national antagonism and vagination in the activities of the Shanghai Provisional Government and avoiding ideological biases, Anakism was adopted as a new alternative, and the 1923 Declaration of the Joseon Revolution emphasizes destroying all strong orders and direct revolution by the people. The powerful ruling order that he was trying to destroy was specifically "governance by two peoples, privileged class, economic looting system, social inequality, and slave culture and ideas," and the ideal society was a community in which people's freedom and equality were realized. Of course, his ideas can be dismissed as too unrealistic idealist thoughts. Capitalism or communism is only based on the principle of struggle and competition, that is, Davidism, to win by using all means to aim for "defined values," even if the content advocated is different. In such real competition, the pursuit of absolute freedom and equality will be considered a distant thing. Styrner, Purdong, Bakunin, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Bukchin, Ward, and the current Foucault and Chomsky are regarded as nothing more than idealism. As with Korean anarchism, it has been regarded as an ideal unrealistic theory. However, as times have changed, the transition to a society where everyone's feelings are made by the Internet and a society where everyone's public opinion takes precedence has been made and is losing. Accordingly, Anakism is again emerging as the front of the social movement. Beyond the nationalist limitations of the first generation and the violent struggle limitations of the second generation, the third generation is now transforming into peaceful anarchism and global ecologicalism centered on alternative schools, community movements, and cultural movements. From this historical point of view, I think it is time to reorganize the history of Korean anarchism. Anarchism in pursuit of absolute freedom and peace of life by prioritizing peace, not skeptical terrorists in the movie Anarchist. In it, radical nationalists in us. People like Danjae Shin Chae-ho, who is obsessed with radical left-wing historians, will be re-examined and revived. Anarchism is not an impure idea that fairly causes the collapse of the regime. Political participation for useless politics, such as Indian Buddhist ideas and Eastern veteran ideas, peaceful practice and equality and freedom of all things, and pragmatic political ideas that realize this is utopia would be anarchism in the postmodern era. And the members of it will become new nomads wandering in joy in search of freedom.
