As a passage from Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi's Freedom from Fear book, Within a system which
denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order
of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear
of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of
poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of
fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom,
condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small,
daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and
inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear
under the iron rule of the principle that might be right to free
themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most
crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is
not the natural state of civilized man ... "
I wasn't even born in 1991 when this book was published. But the shaping of the dictatorship system has been in place in Myanmar for decades before we were born. Similarly, everyone who has been opposed to dictatorship in Myanmar, including Aung San Suu Kyi has experienced this nature. As Green Anarchism author Murray predicted, " In the post-communication era, the massacre of postmen was the first routine of a dictatorial commander, and in the age of technology, blocking information and restricting the flow of the truth will become the first routine of any dictatorship." That exactly with our February 1. Therefore, the current situation, the only concern is Myanmar people.
The party has been critical of the NLD, but only Aung San Suu Kyi is a woman who has gone through a much worse long period. So there's less to worry about. Because when we review the history of dictatorships around the world, it is not a coup to keep the people, just keep the people to coup. Here, the fear of the people can become a weapon of dictatorship. This can be seen by distinguishing between the coups of neighboring Thailand and the coup of Hussein in Iraq. Yesterday and today, some friendly writers and friends from India talked about their worries, encourage our country and asked. I was talked just a little that all I knew because I am not from the political science and political activist field. I respect that they're writing articles in the youth fields and distributing them on their blogs and websites for Myanmar people. But no matter how much they help, Japan, Europe, United States and the UN would be involved, mainly the people of Myanmar. So, I think only the wise revolution can help at this moment. In this decade, in Myanmar, we all already knew that there're more bad things happening than the good things in religion, racial and political issues because of chaos. This has been already calculated in the other side. That's why since three days before February 1, we would have seen the group of people on the streets of Yangon with anarchy. Once again, it is time to start a fire between the fuel tanks that are ready.
At this time, I think the strength and courage of the people is to show wisdom and systematic unity. Like in George Orwell's 1984 book, " We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me." Article of the constitution 417, which refers to the current coup, is also an article in the Constitution without the will of the people. However, this law hasn't yet been amended and can still be considered as national law. Another point is that as in Myanmar, even in most counterfeit democracy countries, coups control the two main branches of government by the people and the people. The idea is that in Myanmar, a government that is supported by the majority of the people can be maintained, but nothing can be done without the protection of the more important people. There may be some people who've repeatedly fallen from the cradle on Facebook, saying, "Coup, what else can you do?" But the coup needs to crack down on both government management and people power. The power of people cann't be controlled even if the lower-level staff and minority figures in the department of public works show opposition to the working-class population. Every dictator knows about that in every coup of every country. That's why they go step by step in dictatorship. As Hussein and Gaddafi did.
In any dictatorship, neither the dictators nor the slaves of dictators is the core of any coup. The people are the main characters. According to current reports, the election will be held within a year. In the previous election involved people who disabilities, people who voted without fear of Covid, even people who are receiving medical treatment, people working in foreign countries and young people who voted for the country only yesterday at the age of 18. How can these people be guaranteed to vote again in the next election? Another is that coups are a contempt of the power of people, so there's almost nothing to believe under this system. If so, that may be crocodile tears.
Therefore, the real revolution of the people is based on our values for the country and a wise desire to change and oppose in each case. In Freedom from Fear, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said, " It was a psychological war and a revolution against the dictatorship". The idea is that once they get into the shape of a step-by-step dictatorship, people often lose and float into their designs. So, at the moment, I think the most effective way is for the people to be the main ones and to show that they are against any design that is going to be shaped. This is more effective than throwing stones at an armed man on the street. Otherwise, Myanmar will still be on the brink of a coup. Like Daw Aung San Suu Kyi quote, " It isn't easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man... ". At the same time, it must be a force by wisdom. In conclusion,
" Democracy isn't just a system of government, but a system of social and ideological integration based on respect for the individual."
