Talk:Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma

February 2024
In your edit summary you said "...'unelected', 'democratically elected' all po[i]nt towards a hard POV tbh. We have to use neutral, non-loaded language." You're not really arguing about WP:NPOV, which is about fairly representing all significant viewpoints, you're arguing about avoiding certain words that may introduce bias.

However, I will be frank, the assertion that "unelected", "democratically elected", "pro-democracy", and "popularly" are "hard POV", within this specific context, seems quite an extreme and uniformed position.

U Nu's government was, in fact, elected in a democratic election. The Revolutionary Council was, in fact, unelected. The 8888 Uprising was, in fact, pro-democracy – the explicit goal was to overthrow the dictatorship of Ne Win and then the military junta. These aren't positions but undisputed descriptions. The only sources you'll find to the contrary are by the Tatmadaw itself, which aren't reliable.

 * The Tatmadaw are the Burmese military, not the Burmese army.
 * Ne Win's superstition was based on self-derived paranoia; it was not yadaya.
