Autonomous Shinmin region (1929-1932)

The apex of Korean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea) anarchism came in late 1929 outside the actual borders of the country, in Manchuria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchuria). Over two million Korean immigrants lived in Manchuria at the time when the Korean Anarchist Communist Federation (KACF) declared the Shinmin province autonomous and under the administration of the Korean People’s Association. The decentralized, federative structure the association adopted consisted of village councils, district councils and area councils, all of which operated in a cooperative manner to deal with agriculture, education, finance and other vital issues. An Army to fight for the defense of Shinmin was also set up and spearheaded by the great Korean Anarchist Kim Jwa-jin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jwa-jin) which had great successes against the Japanese and Stalinist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinist) Armies using hit-and-run guerrilla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla) tactics. KACF sections in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China), Korea, Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) and elsewhere devoted all their energies towards the success of the Shinmin Rebellion, most of them actually relocating there. Dealing simultaneously with Stalinist Russia’s attempts to overthrow the Shinmin autonomous region and Japan’s imperialist attempts to claim the region for itself, the Korean anarchists had been crushed by 1932[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)].


This interests me. What if Kim Jwa Jin and the Korean Anarchists not been crushed but has continued after World War II ended and Korea freed?

That is probably true, however not nessesarily the case, if they could hold out and get enough public support and international attention, the State might be forced to not mess with them out of fear of a backlash, which is excactly what the Zapatistas did.

Thats with South Korea, with North Korea it might have been a little harder, they'd need to defend themselves militarily.
