Today in Labor History June 1, 1929: A meeting of the Korean Anarchist Federation (KAF) was held in Peking in which it was decided to divert all resources outside Korea itself to Manchuria. Over 2 million Koreans were living in Manchuria at the time, and the KAF was a significant force. They were focused on providing mutual aid for all Koreans in Manchuria, establishing a society based on liberty and equality, in which resources were to be distributed "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs". Their significance was short-lived, however, as the Japanese attacked from the south, while Stalinists attacked from the north. By 1931, many of the anarchist leaders were dead and the region was devastated.

Historians generally exclude the 1931 #InvasionOfChina from the sequence of #WWII events, and should not. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1932, the #EmpireOfJapan created a puppet kingdom of #Manchukuo/#Manzhouguo in #Manchuria, nominally ruled by the deposed former #Qing emperor #Puyi.

Today in Labory History January 20, 1930: Korean anarchist military leader Kim Chwa-chin was assassinated. When he was 18, he publicly burned the Korean slave registry, releasing 50 families of slaves and providing each family with enough land to live on. This was the first emancipation of slaves in modern Korea. He also organized branches of the Korea Association and the Association for the Performing Arts in Hongseong as ways to help organize for Korean national liberation. He was imprisoned in 1911 for subversive activities. He later fled to Manchuria to escape Japanese occupation, but then fought against the Japanese when they invaded Manchuria. After his assassination, the Korean anarchist movement was heavily repressed by the Japanese army, in the south, and by pro-Kuomintang forces, in the north. By 1931, most of its leaders were dead.

One does not need to feel any enthusiasm for the current regime in #venezuela to call out what appears to be a remarkably anachronistic revival of something known as 'booty imperialism'. #bootyimperialism is a term I encountered when reading 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy' by #josephschumpeter many years ago. He applied it to #soviet policy in #manchuria and elsewhere in the late 1940s. Seizing foreign oilfields would fit this description.

surprised and pleased to see copies of some of Lao She's in my local library. anyone in here read him? if so what do you think?

勾践就是女真南下地殖民者,其名“勾践”读音是“juzi”,就是今天吴语读“诸暨”,那是“女直”地原始读音。浙江地名“诸暨”就是“女直”之谐音
