History often remembers the 1962 coup as an unexpected seizure of power by a power-hungry General. However, the military’s current denial to depart the politics and their evolution into an elite “crony” class from the military bureaucratic class are rooted in the seven-decade growth of their bureaucratic power and economic interests, which began in the…

The term “fascism,” as George Orwell once cautioned, has often been diluted, losing its precise meaning and becoming a generic slur. This has led to its misapplication, where its core ideology is overlooked in favour of its more superficial traits, such as authoritarianism and militarism. While these are certainly present in fascist regimes, they are…

On this episode of Mutual Exchange Radio, host Zak Woodman is joined by Matthew McManus. McManus sees himself as engaging in a project of retrieval of a forgotten tradition of thought within the liberal tradition which advocates for socialist ends. This is a project with which I have some affinity as a liberal anarchist, but…

For decades, Myanmar’s economy and political system have been heavily shaped by totalitarian regimes and a powerful military. The state-controlled cooperative system initiated under the “Burmese Way to Socialism” in 1962 eventually transitioned to the non-ideological military dictatorship in the 1990s. A short-lived period of market-oriented development occurred under the NLD government (2015-2020). However, the…
