National Politics
The ABSDF considers the primary conflict in Burma as that which exists between the military regime on one side, and the various ethnic nationality groups comprising the citizens of Burma on the other. People who are struggling against the military dictatorship in order to overthrow its oppressive nature constitute not a single stratum but a cross-session of all people regardless of social class, gender, ethnic origin, religion, education, political ideology -in short, this fight is for each and every citizen of the country. Based on that ideology, the ABSDF believes in national politics and applies it as political strategy.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or politics:
“We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn’t prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists.”
—Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
