Update. It’s no longer a “coup attempt,” it succeeded. Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint have been removed from office and detained. The Tatmadaw, headed by Min Aung Hlaing, are now the head of Myanmar.

That’s exactly why I created this community, to decipher current world events from a socialist perspective. Even if we don’t know all the facts now, we can try to learn them. This is extremely new news, but as more information is added, we may learn more about it. Until then, feel free to debate among yourselves what is going on.
Also, feel free to call it either Myanmar or Burma, or flip flop between both. Aung San Suu Kyi personally said that people are free to call it either, of course, she’s no longer in charge, the Tatmadaw is.
