Context: Yi Hoeyŏng was a Korean independence activist who basically gave up everything to fight the Japanese occupation through anarchism. After fleeing into exile in China, he eventually moved away from mainstream nationalism and became a pioneer of the Korean anarchist movement. He was the driving force behind the Korean Anarchist Federation in China and pushed for a post-independence society based on local autonomous communities and self-management rather than a centralised government. Even in the face of constant danger, he stayed committed to the idea that true liberation required an anarchist framework, eventually dying in Japanese custody while trying to coordinate more militant resistance in Manchuria.
I've got 2 more posts in the queue. It was fun learning about different historical anarchist figures so I wanted to share them.
