26 Dec 2016 – <\/em>Around the issue of Rohingya, the merging of the anti-Rohingya racist society (all classes), the ruling military, the semi-autonomous NLD leadership, and most influential leaders of the Buddhist Order parallels the rise of Nazism in Germany and the stacking of the building blocks of German Society.<\/p>\n

The consequences will go beyond the destruction of the Rohingya people as a self-identified group.<\/p>\n

In the early years of the rise of Nazism post-WWI, the German Army was funding thuggish Nazi networks out of the army’s secret funds.<\/p>\n

Those who don’t fully comprehend and appreciate the gravest danger of their various roles in the formation of this new Nazi-like force as cheer-leaders, participants, collaborators, demagogues, legitimizers, whitewashers, functionaries, advisers, etc. will live to regret their contributions to the conceivable demise of a Burmese society as we know it.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop the talk of ‘democratization’ ‘economic development’ ‘civil society initiatives’, etc. ring hollow, to me.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget Adolf Hitler too talked about economic recovery, making the country great again, purifying the Master Race (in Burma, that is “Myanmar Buddhists”, faith-defined identity), national unity, integration (at gunpoint), etc.<\/p>\n

Remember Suu Kyi’s delusional narrative of Myanmar overtaking Singapore in 20 years?<\/p>\n

Hitler also talked about ‘no personal gains’ for himself, but for the common good of the entire German people.<\/p>\n

This is the shared discourse among the country’s powerful military, religious and political organisations.<\/p>\n
