The Anarchist movement in Japan

[Red October]

This is a really interesting essay on the history of anarchism in Japan, a subject which is rarely given much attention by the left. I recently bought a copy of it from AK Press without knowing it was already on the net, but it was worth it. Discuss! http://www.spunk.org/texts/places/japan/sp001883/japchap1.html

[Bright Banana Beard]

I am not surprised as there is many unwritten history left by the communists and anarchists alike back during the time. We all know the state will cover it up.

[Colonello Buendia]

never knew there was a major anarchist movement in Japan

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

There isn't a "major anarchist movement" in Japan.

[Zazaban]

It was in past tense.

[Devrim]

It was in past tense.

Sorry to be pedantic, but if he was referring to the past, he should have written 'I never knew that there had been...' If you have a sentence 'I never knew that Canberra was the capital of Australia', was is referring to present time.
