I find it interesting that the movement for democracy in Burma attracts support from all over the political spectrum and I think that's a good thing. This is quite possibly the only thing in the world that Trevor and I will agree on.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the Burmese Junta haven't even pretended to be socialist since 1988, when one military regime was replaced with another and the Burmese Socialist Programme Party was dissolved. The only ideology of the regime nowadays is nationalism and they are certainly authoritarian. You could also make a case that Burma is a very inefficient example of state capitalism, as the regime is quite happy to enter into joint ventures with global corporations while maintaining a tight monopoly on most areas of the economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
