Original title: "Conversation with a lifelong anarchist from Burma, Bro- Y: This is just the beginning."

The conversation between Hein (Abu Bakr) and Bro-Y, an experienced anarchist who has organised various anarchist societies in Burma for two to three decades, is presented in the following article. This article will discuss the historical development of anarchist movements in Burma while discussing what we may learn from earlier generations to improve current organising strategies. Additionally, the discussion will focus on class struggle, social justice, and decolonization in relation to contemporary political circumstances and ongoing anarchist initiatives within the Burmese resistance forces.

Anarchists struggle in Burma

From Libcom by Hein Htet Kyaw

This article explains how anarchism used to be in Burma and how it's developing at the moment.

In his excellent biography, Sabaté: Guerrilla Extraordinary, Antonio Tellez (himself a member of the anti-Franco guerrilla resistance), recounts some of Sabaté’s exploits from his youth until his death at the hands of a Francoist militia on the streets of Sant Celoni, Catalonia. In telling Sabaté’s story, Tellez also tells the stories of dozens of other anarchist guerrillas who might otherwise have been forgotten: people like Ramon Vila Capdevila aka ‘Caraquemada’ (‘Burnt face’), Jose Lluis Facerias aka 'Face' or Francisco Denis Diez aka 'Catala' as well as the tragic stories of Sabaté’s brothers, José and Manuel.
