Military Coup in Myanmar

[The Reformed American Republic]

Does the military of Myanmar count as fascist? They seem to love tyranny, militarism and ethnic supremacy alot.

There are militant Buddhists in it, they definitely love militarism considering they are the military, and they’re authoritarian, so you could make the case they might

Do you support the coup?

I wouldn't say that extreme to be Fascist, but more or less an extreme conservative military junta.

Which is why I said they might be, I’m not too familiar with their economic theory if they have one, because fascism requires corporatism to some form, otherwise they may just be traditionalist auths

Do you support the coup?

At the moment, no, mainly due to the sheer amount of corruption in the Burmese military

Without knowing the current views of the military leadership, historically Myanmar has been ruled by a socialist military dictatorship before the 8888 Uprising, and most of the leaders of the last junta (State Peace and Development Council) had served under the socialist government. So it's not impossible that they have some Marxist influence, even if imbued with isolationist and Buddhist beliefs.

The Military knows what Communism and Socialism has done to the Nation, so they went to the other side on the Political Scale. They might want to be Socialist and/or Communist, but they certainly will not employ it on the Nation.

There's also a genocide too. To be honest, I do not think Myanmar will ever be truly democratic. I'm anti-coup, but the status quo won't change much in places like this.

Myanmarian Politicians discourage Coup, say the NLD is the true Government
I betcha there's a gun behind every Myanmarian politician's head right now telling them to say that.

Hlaing has called the Rohingya the "final problem" upon questioning about Genocide
Dare I say, we have Southeast Asian Nazis.

You've got it backwards, that says that hundreds of Burmese politicians have declared themselves the sole legitimate government and are encouraging sanctions against the military. Basically a government-in-exile except they're still in Myanmar.

Sorry, got that into my head.

Please don’t try to make traditionalism look better than what it should be. Thanks!

Unlike Communism, Nazism is internally more stable and doesn’t fall on its own. Instead it has to be removed from the outside.

They're not traditionalist, the dictatorship of Ne Win destroyed much of local Burmese cultures, such as removing the hereditary chao pha as well as the historical autonomy of the Shan State.

I think you know that I dislike traditionalism even more than communism since at least communism is a newer and more explicit ideology which makes it more predictable and easier to remove.

Either way, I can vouch for Suri that they know what they are talking about. So... Yes, we have quite a bumpy history ever since they assassinated Bo Kyut Aung San.

Source: Me and them have talked about Burma A LOT of times, especially its history and culture other than just politics.

Whether they are traditionalist is irrelevant. I just don’t want traditionalism to ever look good.

I pray for the people of Myanmar. I really do hope things get better for them. Such a horrifying situation

tldr; Military isn't Commie because the Populace of Myanmar doesn't like Socialism

The Asian Hitler got the nobel peace prize as well.

Do pray for the people. But pray that the tyrant leader gets what she deserves. There are no excuses for Genocides. No matter what the motives. Even if its my own brother who is doing genocide. There is no justification for it.

Where on Earth is the Crack Dungeon you are getting this information from?

Mind you, Genocidal doesn't always mean Fascist.

He must be referring to Aung San. She did get the nobel peace prize btw.
