When some government have been in power 50 years that kind of things doesn't be erased immediately

In the beginning, I must say one wisdom from history. In the chain of dictators, sooner or later the people are facing despot, who would misuse the power. If we are thinking of the dictatorship as the form of government, we can say that people like Ludwig XIV and Emperor Nero are dictators as well as Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler.

When we are thinking about Myanmar and it's new civilian government, we must remember that the military government has been ruled that country 50 years. And that means that there have been many people, who have faced the totalitarian government's power, and there is a generation of people, who were living their entire life under the control of the military government. That means that there have been people, who were acting as the informants for that government, and there are lots of things, that are left between teeth during this period.

The military governments are problematic things for democracy and the thing that supports those governments is low-level education along with the bad social-economical situation. The thing that makes soldiers so popular is that they are promising easy and effective-looking methods for handling crises. That method is that the streets are filled with soldiers, and then the new "proud of the nation rises".

Military governments are offering the "out of politics"-solution, which seems to be best for the nation. And then we are facing the question, who are the people, who those governments are representing? When we are thinking about authoritarian leaders of the country, we must simply ask "who told those people that their way to act is right"? Why people who have different opinions are not allowed to talk against them if the men of the military are right?

If we are thinking about corruption the large group of men with assault rifles cannot get any corrupted people to prison. But the thing, that pleases some people is the opportunity to get the power to other people. If you were in the army, there is only one thing, what the henchman must do, and that is pleasing the superiority officers and this kind of thing are always attracts people, who have bad self-esteem.

There are always people, who want to get to the army, or military service because they are failed in civilian life. And uniform, weapon and group spirit support their bad self-esteem. Now those people are something when they are carrying guns and roar to other orders.

One common thing in military governments is that they are always promising people law and order, but sooner or later the thing, that people would get is the iron fist, which would destroy every attempt to replace the soldiers by civilians. When military governments are rising in power, they are promising to remove corruption, and law and order.

When we are thinking about that somebody is "inventing" the law, every law in the world is somehow invented. And that thing is what the military governments are using as an argument, that they are always right. Those people say that "those laws must not be adjusted" when the military is ruling. And they must not "invent" new laws, but as I just wrote every law in the world is somehow invented.

And some of those soldiers have been quite popular, but then something is going wrong, and those generals and admirals are just anchoring themselves to power, and the promised free elections are just "forgotten". Those soldiers just stay in power after years, because the laws, what they are creating guarantees that the military government has legitimization to things, what they are doing.
