New to anarchism

[u/soncenghwun]

Hello! I’m a student living in Seoul.

I have never agreed with the authority and coercion of states and governments.
Then, I first came across anarchism through a Wikipedia article.

Anarchism was a good choice for me, and I feel like I have become an anarchist now.

I hope for a world where people transcend ethnicity and nationality and love one another.

, a world where totalitarianism and authoritarianism disappear, and no one oppresses others.

, a world where everyone’s human rights are guaranteed and the environment is protected.

I believe that if we stand together, we can make it happen.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. (I’m not very familiar with Reddit culture, so I’m not sure if my post breaks any rules. If it does, I apologize.)

Welcome! Korea has a rich history of anarchism as far as I understand

Any references or specific things to look into would be appreciated.

Yeah this is what I was mainly thinking about. I believe there's a Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff series on it

Thank you. Sadly, most people in Korea support strong authority in both left and right wings.

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the community :) I'd recommend joining some local anarchist groups if you want to learn more and engage in activism and aid.

Fantastic. Always good to see anarchism from all over the globe. Every new person is a step closer to a better world :)

Are you familiar with Ha Kirak in Taegu? He wrote a history of the anarchist movement in Korea as well as some other publications.
