Translating Vô Trị - An Interview With Mèo Mun

From The Commoner

We are honoured to present this interview with Mèo Mun, an anarchist group who focus specifically on archiving, translating, and disseminating anarchist texts. You can find their work on Libcom, the Southeast Asian Anarchist Library, and follow them on Twitter. In July, we published one of their pieces on LGBT+ liberation and the fight for partial freedom in Vietnam. Credits for the banner art go to u/anarchist_snufkin on Reddit.

Mèo Mun, Anarchist Views from Vietnam

From The Final Straw Radio

Mèo Mun is an anarchist collective working to make anarchist materials and ideas more accessible to a Vietnamese audience, together with providing an analysis of social struggles from a Vietnamese anarchist lens. Over the next hour you’ll hear three collective members, Mai, Will and tùng share their critiques of leftist misrepresentations of the Vietnamese State as Socialist, lasting impacts of imperialism and war on populations of Vietnam, the centering US imaginaries of Vietnam, the struggles of working class people in general (and queer folks and sex workers in particular) in Vietnam, nationalism promoted by the government and other topics.

Interview w/ Xuân Rayne

Interview with Xuân Rayne: Vietnamese, Anarchist, Sex Worker

We interviewed Xuân Rayne, a Vietnamese anarchist and non-binary sex worker based in the United States for their insights into the intersection of their identities, the paths for international solidarity among sex workers, and how workers in general can stand with sex workers. Xuân uses any/all pronouns. 

The Fight for Partial Freedom in Vietnam

from Mèo Mun's blog

Western leftists, communists, and anarchists alike routinely call for “unity” with the authoritarian oppressors in their favourite “socialist” states. They value a cheap, doom to end in failure unity with the statists, the genocide deniers, the red fascists, more than the well-being and liberation of marginalised groups.
