๐๐ 2. "To Achieve Systemic Revolutionary Change, It Is Essential to Sever the Root Cause of Tyranny," Says Union Minister U Tin Tun Naing
December 11
During a discussion titled "Will the National Unity Government Join the Spring Development Bank Market?" Union Minister U Tin Tun Naing expressed:
"Systemic revolutionary change requires cutting off the fundamental sources of tyranny that oppressive regimes relentlessly cling to, such as access to critical resources like water. This ensures that future leaders understand the lesson that such actions will not be tolerated. As part of this, we proposed selling off illegitimate assets held by the military junta.
The message we want to convey is that no future tyrants should feel secure in their power. Even the wealth they held before seizing power must be stripped away. Currently, the military junta is experiencing losses in financial, military, and diplomatic fronts."
