There’s some interesting stuff in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism on the anarchist side
Decentralized and persecuted tradition of wandering yogis
I’m thinking of some article from either Aro g’Ter or Vividness but can’t find it. This one is close but doesn’t have the history part, just the “kill the cop in your head” take on karma https://aroencyclopaedia.org/shared/text/k/karma_ar_eng.php

To be fair, I think this is a very optimistic view. :3 nevertheless, I think the ongoing material conditions of our revolution also impact how they view religion. Before this coup, people rarely questioned monks let alone the religious practices. Only a few educated and left wing people criticised the major, popular monks, like Wirathu for example. To name it Buddhist Anarchism is, as I said, very optimistic.
Sorry. I didn't saw this earlier

For more context, a lot of the Buddhist Monks in my country were very, let's say, not Buddhist-like. They have cars and so on. But a little after the rev, people started questioning their privileges. These give rise to a more radical and intellectual Buddhism out of some monks who wanted to improve Burmese Buddhist thought.

Wasn't wirathu censured?
I agree though jumping to conclusions about the revolutionary potential of burmese theravada is optimistic.
It might be my own bias but its not exactly a demographic of people (theravadan monks) who are known for embracing change.
The Buddhist Sangha must resist the corrupting influence of the government. For the preservation of the true Buddha Dhamma, Buddhists must insist on a firm separation of Sangha and State, demanding that the government not institute a state religion, and ultimately must be abolished. If this is not done, the sangha will continue to be corrupted by and complicit in the violence of the government and the people will lose their faith in true Dhamma.
This in particular seems like a demand detached from the actual as practiced buddhism in Myanmar.

Censured internationally? Yes.
Locally, he still had a cult like following from the Nationalists and the military. Only Wirathu was popular, internally, there are still a large number of problematic Sangha collectives, which we called as "969".
