A brief Introduction to my
Activism
Introduction
I (Hein Htet Kyaw) don’t align myself with any specific ideological movement; instead, I resonate with the values found within various ideologies such as: “Post-Left Anarchism”, “Egoism”, “Libertarianism”, “Marxist-Humanism”, and “Internationalism”.
- Influenced by philosophers such as “Max Stirner”.

- Influenced by independent thinkers and social reformers such as “Ambedkar”, “Periyar Ramasamy”, “James Baldwin”, “Chen Duxiu”, “CLR James”, “Selma James”, “Nawal El Saadawi”, and local figures such as “Thakin Soe” as well as “Venerable Ukkaṭṭha”.

- Co-founded a Myanmar hacktivist group in 2013.
- Took part in the student led protests against “Myanmar National Education Law 2014”.
- Took part in the nationwide movement of “Black Ribbon Movement” as a student from University of Dental Medicine. It was a movement of medical professions and medical students against the appointment of military officers to positions within the Ministry of Health in Burma.
- Co-founded a Pro-Immigration and Islamist hacktivist group.
- worked closely with Burma’s interfaith movement (progressive Buddhists, Ahmadiyya community, and Shias) until 2016.
- Started writing as an independent contributing author on the topics of open-source technologies, and cypherpunk (Techno-libertarianism) movements in “UG Magazine”, published by Union of Underground Myanmar Hackers (UGMH).
- Became an admin on several Facebook groups with tens of thousands of members which are organized by “Burmese Atheists”.
- Direct Action against the blasphemy laws and censorship laws in Myanmar against the Buddhist religious movements.
- I prepared the statement on behalf of “Burmese Atheists”, condemning the 2021 military coup in 2022 and the statement was featured at UN Human Rights Council, 49th Session.

Points of Unity
- I reject frameworks that constrain the liberty of an individual and its uniqueness.
- I strongly oppose any form of state-controlled economy—whether it’s the centralized planning seen in Marxist-Leninist regimes or the state-corporatist models associated with fascism.
- I’m against the spooks such as binary gender norms, nationalism, and any form of religious doctrine that suppresses individual autonomy and freedom.
- I support an intersectional approach and advocate for individuals freely associating with one another. In both economic relationships and broader aspects of life, I align with the idea of the “union of egoists”—a voluntary and cooperative association based on mutual self-interest.
- My activism is driven by practical solutions rather than political ideologies—I concentrate on what can be realistically achieved in the present moment. I’m open to collaborating with any non-authoritarian groups committed to practical, immediate actions to combat poverty and intersecting forms of oppression.
- Universal Basic Income
- LGBTQIA++ Rights
- Secularism
- Self-determinism
- I’m open to collaborating with universalist and cosmopolitan groups—whether they lean toward left-libertarianism or right-libertarianism—on these key issues.
- Individual Sovereignty
- Civil Rights
