- Zhenya 6y agoDoes it matter? Its authoritarian behavior regardless of the sales pitch.
- user982 6y agoYes, of course it matters. There are much closer examples temporally, politically, and physically that Myanmar would have actually learned from (e.g., India's Modi shutting down Kashmir's internet beginning in 2019). Trying to associate the actions of Myanmar's military junta with a movement a century past and on the opposite political spectrum is an obvious and tortured stretch by the GP and its upvoters to indirectly attack their current political enemies.
- Zhenya 6y agoThe OP wasn't associating with Lenin, just the method to take over and control a population. Surely you see the similarities - pedantism aside. Lenin was one of the first modern leader to use these tools.
- duxup 6y agoWhatever the authoritarian folks claim to be... their practices are often the same regardless.
