As I wrote in 2021 in Buddhist Anarchists for Myanmar
Buddhist anarchists demand the end of capitalism and economic exploitation. One cannot live a right livelihood by exploiting others’ labour, be it a worker in a field, a factory or an office, or a wife, daughter or mother’s labor in the home. Only when every person has their needs met can we freely contribute our work to society as equals. Workers should organize labor unions and cooperatives, strike for better treatment and in protest of the regime along with the rest of society. Anarchists advocate that workers launch a General Strike of all workers, stopping production, transportation, administration and communication industries to paralyze the system non-violently topple the government. Ordinary soldiers are also exploited by their superiors, and should be encouraged to defect and disobey orders from their commanders and instead protect and side with the people.
I will repost relevant news and articles on this site from time to time in order to raise awareness about real world organizing issues. The important part of the Dharma isn’t what happens on a meditation cushion — It is what you do when you stand up: For yourself, for others, for the world. So get out there and move!
