Korean People's Association in Manchuria (KPAM, August 1929 – September 1931)[1] was an autonomous anarchist zone in Manchuria near the Korean borderlands,[1] populated by two million Korean migrants.[2] It was also known as Shinmin Prefecture[1] or Korean Anarchist Federation in Manchuria. The society was constructed upon principles of stateless communism, operating within the framework of a gift economy based upon mutual aid.
