  • Irw Olhoe and the Introduction of Marxism Into Korea in the 1920S
    Ir w olhoe and the Intr oduction of Marxism into Korea in the 1920s PARK Jong-rin Abstract Irwolhoe, or the January Association, asserted the unification of the split socialist movement upon its formation in January 1925. Perceiving that the national liberation movement was an ideological struggle as well as an eco- nomic and political one, Irwolhoe published Sasang undong as a means of realizing its objective of prevailing in ideological warfare. Suppressed by the colonial authorities from Japan, Irwolhoe changed the editing policy of Sasang undong in January 1926. Gwondoksa took over Sasang undong’s mission of “introducing scientific theories.” By the end of 1927, Gwondoksa had published a total of nine pam- phlets. They were primarily translations of works analyzing capitalism through the prism of Marxism, in addition to translated versions of Marxist texts. In 1926, Makseu-wa makseujuui and Gwahakjeok sahoejuui were pub- lished. The two books are noteworthy in the history of the introduction of social- ism to Korea in that they attempted to analyze Marxism through the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Irwolhoe regarded Leninism as the Marxism of the imperial era and as “genuine Marxism” that enriched Marxism by solving theo- retical and practical problems through Marx’s theories and methodology. Keywords: Marxism, Leninism, Irwolhoe, Sasang undong, Gwondoksa, Marx- ist texts, The Development of Socialism from Utopia to Science, Karl Marx *An earlier version of this paper was published in Hanguk geunhyeondaesa yeongu (Journal of Korean Modern and Contemporary History), vol. 40.
