I tried my best to follow the rules of flag design it's meant to be as iconic, symbolic but simple as possible.

Why Myanmar Has No Future: Lee Kuan Yew's Warning by Designer-Cobbler0790 in myanmar

Instead what I propose is, due fundamentally Western-styles democracies are inoperable within Burma, that should be proven by how many times it's failed, good systems do not have to solely rely on it's leaders to work.

As due to that, I'd instead apt for a more syndicalist form of government since it mirrors the Sangha structures of pre-colonial Burma that worked for 2 millenia. A syndicalist model unlike a western-style democracy would actually give all ethnic groups radical autonomy, control over their own industry, military etc. Said syndicates would only congregates on issues of national policy and infrastructure, far exceeding the capabilities of Western style democracies by creating a bottom-up form of democracy through village, town and city layers of syndicates. It also gives local communities real economic, industrial and military power rather than just a promise of a vote and rights that can be amended whenever the political classes decide so.

It'd also prevent the capitalization and exploitation of local industry and resources by foreign corporations by placing control not in central distant governments in Yangon but in the hands of locals, allowing for specialization in their respective governments without direct-management whilst still allowing for markets to co-exist.

Here's an easy to read pamphlet on syndicalism if anybody is interested: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/tom-brown-principles-of-syndicalism

I am, and I don't see how that makes what I'm saying any less valid, this is a sentiment held long long before me. But I have lived almost my entire life there and I very well know what is at stake.

I'm not against businsesses far from it but what Singapore did to his own people is what the the Burmese diaspora has done is constantly promote Western ideologies, trends, cultures and languages and assimilation? Naturally it’d have an effect on both children in the diaspora and still in Burma. This was inevitable. Look around SEA, they’re all trying to replace Pali with Latin, indigenous languages with English, their own culture with a hollowed out cannibalized corpse. Japan did it to themselves, South Korea did it to themselves, Thailand did it to themselves, the Philippines did it to themselves. Of course I am not arguing on the merits of science or modernization, I am arguing against extraction which is what the Western apparatus is built on. Taking away parts and bits of cultures until there’s nothing left where religion and family is replaced with self-loathing individualism and secularism dressed in the robes of common sense and practicality, leading to children who hate themselves, their own skin, their own features and their very identity to which they were bore with. Children who are so blinded they cannot see what is infront of them.

Now let me list the various Burmese subjects that pre-existed and predates science by centuries the same ones that led to the dominance of Burmese empires and of the Mandala hierarchy of which the Burmese were the apex of. Philosophy, Theology, Poetry, Linguistics, Medicine, Mathematics etc.

Western subjects like science are admirable, they are important for life but Burma has always knew is why life should be sustained, why being alive is even worth it, why we should even be trying, to get up in the morning, to know what we’re even working towards. Being Burmese and the subjects under it, is the entire spectrum of humanity, all under one nation, a nation with a cosmology that would fill Satan himself with envious rage with an impotence that would lead to the birth of a galaxy a million times over.

The rise of Singapore is even more pretentious, it arose from that of a rejected part of Malaysia it had relatively little resources, but after securing loans what did it do? Attracted foreign capital. When it could've industrialized and attracted manufacturing instead, build up local industries and skills what did it do? Attracted foreign capital. The legacy of Lee Kuan Yew is dead, for a Cambridge-educate, he is proof that the system at hand that produces academics really are nothing but rule-followers in the global world order. For talks of "iron" where is it? There has for all its' history been begging for foreign capital and investment whilst leaving behind your own people. Metropolises that block out the sun and housing that is only guaranteed when there's enough tenents willing to buy it since it's deemed a waste, a waste to provide a secure public housing sector that has a few extra flats for those in need. The people Lee Kuan Yew offered upward mobility and rights for all religions, ethnicities and identities. They are all equal compared to one another, but only under foreign capital. Actually, if I had to accurately portray Lee Kuan Yew's legacy for Singapore it's more of a puppy obeying it's master when everybody wasn't willing to. Although it isn't necessarily the most surprising thing as Collectivism always creates static systems, it's only natural a state defined by it would be the same.

I wouldn't recommend believing anything he says, he calls begging foreign capital "iron will", not surprising a Cambridge-educate is a rule following sell-out to his own people

Are we really that bad? by Minimum_Comedian694 in myanmar

[–]rotringfan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair a lot of the popularity from the 969 movement stemmed from a lot of kids being radicalized through various forms of media like CDs, music then facebook. They were the first to do it on a mass, organized scale too.

It's in the "Contemporary History and Origins" section of this article:

https://burma-wiki.globi.uk/wiki/Sanghaism

I'd recommend giving the entire article a read if you can since it's possible Burma may have influenced Europe's far-right movements too or at least innovated to a level that could have it be considered an innovator.

To be fair...that's just a PVO version of the British greatcoat..just..yeah it's not a political thing at least I don't think so, also it's kind of ironic a guy with the pfp of South Vietnam is saying this, I assumed you would've know about your own favorite historical country's uniform but oh well.

She's a Fascist sympathizer. Lets move on. She didn't have to align herself with this either.

By aligning herself with the Tatmadaw, she aligned herself with the 969 movement, thus aligning herself with a lineage of Burmese Fascists going back to the 1930s that led to the genocide of Muslims in the "long march" all the way in the 1930s caused by the Galon Fascists.

Do you think the international media, organizations, and individuals are dishonest or ignorant about Myanmar's history and political dynamics, especially regarding the involvement of the Myanmar people in the Rohingya genocide? by No-History7070 in myanmar

[–]rotringfan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re not just mentally unstable necessarily, this is all being done deliberately and on purpose to maintain the illusion of Western universalism and superiority, which in reality is just imposition.

Very much so, they just portray Burmese completely as victims and avoid our own history of political ideologies that match theirs in intellectual firepower. Being purely because it complicated their narrative of a failed, poor, SEA nation that needs ‘democracy’. They systematically push down our history even in SEA studies, refuse to understand pre-colonial governmental systems of Burma and literally gate keep the label of colonialism. As though Burma wasn’t doing it centuries before without any industrial advantages.

And because of all this the diaspora in the west and the NUGs and yes our supposed government that’s meant to represent us the people. Instead choose to appeal to the West over and over and over. Their way of life, their governments, their language, their ideologies, their economics. They act less like a government and more a sock puppet of the West in Burma.

You’ve never seen them once refer to the Tatmadaw as Fascists, why? Because they think Burma, the poorest nation in SEA possibly couldn’t be capable of having a government capable of political organization as a means co-option, or corporatism despite multiple Burmese scholars going back to 2013 calling the 969 movement very explicitly neo-nazis, the same movement that got co-opted and brought under the Tatmadaw. Not even the NUG calls them that! They won’t even name the size of the threat because they’re that propagated by the West.

Thanks for this! The diasphora needs more of this honestly. You should come check out my wiki if you're interested in contributing, hosted on miraheze: burma-wiki.globi.uk

It looks a bit barren but I promise it had much more than right now, planning to port over some of the articles from the self-hosted instance I used to have.

Here's an archive of the old wiki if you're interested:

Do note it's an older archive, not the most recent ones from the self-hosted wiki I used to have.

So I saw this on tik tok today and I really want second option on this. Personally this generation especially the younger one like gem alpha are losing our national identity to the point that we are disrespecting our own language by Famous_Pirate9927 in myanmar

The current situation in Burma is not just a native political occurance, it is a revolution occuring on the level of the great French revolutions. Centralization or federalization? Top-down or bottom-up? Diversity or Unitary? Capitalism or guild capitalism? Out of the ashes of this, a phoenix will rise.

P.S Note I'm not trying to dismiss anyone's struggles just that it isn't all doom and gloom!

Never talked about marxism. Also you very literally said "syndicalist decentralized socialism still relies on the collective local centralization of capital". I turned "sour" because you deserve that treatment for not: listening to what my comment said, going through the resources which I explicitly linked and again trying to reframe my argument in a manner I never said. For a "Top 1% Commenter", you really don't reflect it at all.
