March 2 – Peasants' Day in Myanmar (aka Burma)

That sounds good, but Myanmar has struggled with poverty and inadequate infrastructure (roads, bridges, water and power companies, schools, hospitals), plus ethnic strife and civil war. The military took over the government in the 1960s and violently suppressed protests and violated human rights. For a while, from 2011 to 2020, things got better – or at least seemed to – for many in Myanmar, and it seemed that elections and government were back on the path to being more democratic. But then there was another military coup – and more suppression and human rights atrocities. With all that going on, a single day supposedly honoring the workers seems a bit hypocritical.
