Anarchism in Myanmar a report back and slide show on the past and present activities of anarchists in Myanmar (Burma) -- describing their surprising vision for the future that enjoys widespread support.
Examining Myanmar anarchist solidarity with Food Not Bombs, punk rock, atheism, and grassroots mutual aid groups featuring profiles of individual anarchists in the Civil Disobedience Movement (the struggle vs. the military dictatorship / 2019 coup.)
Myanmar's people have the potential, "to organize themselves spontaneously to create democratic autonomous regions that are run communally," due to its 135 ethnic groups and its radicalized youth.

He's published articles on Kropotkin and Global Egalitarianism at C4SS and the Hampton Foundation.
