The 1907 article by Kōtoku Shūsui that launched an anarchist tendency among members and allies of the first Japan Socialist Party, translated into English.

The classic article by Kōtoku Shūsui that launched the anarchist movement in Japan. In The Change in My Thinking, Kōtoku, one of Japan's foremost socialists in the late Meiji period, laid out the reasons for his move toward anarchism, his insistence that "direct action" is the only way to truly realize a social revolution, and his plea for his socialist comrades to re-consider their strategy of prioritizing parliamentary power.
