Oh, I see.

But I believe that the ML communists fighting in Myanmar call it "Burma."

Or are they call the Communist Party of Myanmar?

Yeah, I'm confused, but I'll double-check right now.

I think internally the two terms are more interchangable than they are in English, since I think they're much closer in pronunciation in the Burmese language.

I would be interested to know if the Communist Party of Burma wants to be called that or if that's just a holdover because they've been around since before the country changed its English name. I don't know their outlook at all or much about them. I know that it was some kind of reactionary military dictatorship that initially changed the English name to Myanmar, but then again "Burma" is what the British colonizers named the country

"China" is what Westerners named China, but they still call it Zhongguo in, well, Chinese while, in their English-translated documents, they (officially) refer to themselves as China to give an example.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
