You are absolutely right and I apologise if you felt it necessary for me to clarify I was talking about recent Thai history (though the context made it plain). The obvious antecedent was represented by the fascist groups and up country thugs mobilised in 1976 to terrorise the progressive and democratic student movement.The backers of these murderous thugs bear some startling similarities to the PAD/yellow movements backers at least in the early days. There's plenty of reading material on all this available, but it's problematic to discuss in detail on this board. No need to apologize. I didn't realize that you were going back to '76 in your reference. I understand and accept the 'problematic' aspects certain topics. No need to delve into those here. So then, who from 1976 is now active in the PAD today? PM sent as inquiry. #104

But it's precisely the link between the backers (note rather than active participants on the streets) of fascist thuggery in 1976 and more recently the PAD movement (at least initially:the position is much ambiguous now) thats "problematic". I'll provide reading suggestions tomorrow by PM but I fear it will be mainly book recommendations.Frankly I don't do much historical research on the web |
