Maung Sue San, a well-known ex-communist writer, was one of the first to embrace global trends that departed from Burma’s principal literary ideologies of communism and capitalism. Maung Sue San is another dissent who was hated so much by the communist party members and the party sympathisers. He was denounced as a counter-revolutionary, opportunist, reactionary, capitalist roader, and bourgeoisie writer by the elder generation of leftists in Burma but was praised as a dissent, economist writer and democratic socialist by the newer generation of leftists and other organic intellectuals.
