Pro-Democracy Contention in Hong Kong: Relational Dynamics between the Umbrella Movement and the Anti-Extradition Protests by Francis L. F. Lee

Presenting an analytical account of the relational dynamics linking the 2014 Umbrella Movement and the 2019 anti-extradition protests in Hong Kong, Pro-Democracy Contention in Hong Kong aims to explain not only the relationship between two spectacular protest campaigns but also why the anti-extradition protests exhibited a high degree of internal solidarity and public sympathy toward confrontational and at times violent protest actions. The analysis moves beyond the typical focus on the peaks of social mobilization to examine the contingent and dynamic evolution of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. Drawing upon a range of research materials, including in-depth interviews with protesters and leading activists, surveys of protesters conducted onsite, population opinion surveys, system...

LA LUCHA CONTINUA

El Gobierno del Gringo Gorila de Noboa Azín y su banda de Asesinos y testaferros, ni sus maniobras rastreras, no pasarán. Por la Unidad de todas las luchas del proletariado del campo y la ciudad, rebasemos y cambiemos a las direcciones burocráticas y traidoras de la FICI, la UNORCAR y la CONAIE, para que nuestra dirección y nuestras organizaciones, se conviertan en verdaderos organismos para la defensa del proletariado de la ciudad y el campo. La Marx Ecuador Jueves, 16 de Octubre de 2025 Por arte de magia, olvidando casi todo lo sucedido y la represión brutal contra las poblaciones levantadas, el Ministro del Interior, John Reimberg, con la Intermediación de la Iglesia Católica, montó un parapeto; simulando, una mesa de negociación y de diálogo con el movimiento indígena; en la q...

近700萬美國人上街出席NO KINGS集會

近700萬美國人上街出席NO KINGS集會【人數與規模打破美國紀錄】【共和黨定性為極左勢力、共產、馬克思主義者策動】綜合美聯社周六（18日）報道，美國多地爆發大規模示威，群眾在「No Kings（不要國王）」口號下遊行集會，抗議他們所認為的特朗普政府正迅速走向威權統治。據各大傳媒引述主辦者和官方數字，接近700萬人在同一天，於2600個地區參與No Kings集會，破了美國歷史紀綠，遠至歐洲和亞洲的南韓，也有同類集會。共和黨的眾議院議長約翰遜，則把這場全國性示威定性為「仇美集會（Hate America rally）」，並指責參與者由極左勢力所策動，包括「安提法（Antifa）團體」與「挺哈瑪斯派（pro-Hamas wing）」等。｜民調顯示特朗普支持度持續處於低位美聯社與 NORC 在10月初做的民調顯示，特朗普的整體支持率（approve)約 40%，而不支持率(disapprove)達 58%，跟大部分民調相近。受訪者對他在經濟、健保及移民政策上的表現普遍不滿，僅在中東議題略有改善。分析指，特朗普的核心支持者仍穩固，但在中間與無黨派選民中支持度下降，顯示其政治分歧未有緩和。手持「沒有比抗議更愛國的事」「抵抗法西斯」等標語的民眾湧入紐約時代廣場，並在波士頓、亞特蘭大和芝加哥的公園中聚集成千上萬人。示威者亦在華盛頓、洛杉磯市中心遊行，在多個共和黨主政州的州議會大樓外、蒙大拿州比林斯的法院前，以及全國數百個公共場所集會。現場有行進樂隊，群眾高舉印有美國憲法「We The People（我們人民）」前言的大橫幅供人簽名，還有人穿著充氣服裝——特別是青蛙造型——這在奧勒岡州波特蘭已成為反抗象徵。這是特朗普重返白宮以來第三次全國性群眾動員。示威背景是政府關門持續，聯邦機構與服務被迫停擺，同...

‘Azad’ Kashmir’s Unheard Rebellion: Voices from the People’s Struggle

[Over the past month, Pakistan-Administered Jammu and Kashmir (PAJK) have experienced one of the most significant waves of mass mobilisation in recent years. Triggered by rising electricity tariffs, increased taxation, and widespread economic hardship, the protests, which are led by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), have evolved into a broader movement advocating for social and economic justice through a 38-point Charter of Demands. The demonstrations have attracted participation from workers, students, traders, and ordinary citizens across the region, highlighting a pervasive discontent with systemic neglect and inequality. In this interview, Alternative Viewpoint speaks to grassroots activist Haris Qadeer, involved in the ongoing struggle. The discussion explores ...

加沙種族滅絕兩周年討論會

在香港，每當討論到以巴，除了左膠標籤之外，還有什麼可能性？加沙戰爭是一場直播中的種族滅絕，巴勒斯坦人每天在社交平台記錄著家園被以軍炸毀、嬰兒骨瘦嶙峋、兒童在瓦礫中尋找家人的殘骸。昔日豐饒的土地，如今變成了廢墟。以色列卻說聲援巴勒斯坦是反猶，是恐怖主義，加沙沒有饑荒，沒有戰爭罪行，以色列不是一個種族隔離的政權。歷史告訴我們，這場戰爭並非從2023年開始，亦非只局限在加沙走廊。巴勒斯坦人的浩劫早在78年前已經開始，抗爭、建國、離散，屬於巴勒斯坦人共同的苦難和烙印。讓我們走進受壓迫者的歷史。日期：10月19日(日) 時間：下午3時至4時30分主講：反戰動員 @antiwar.hk 報名連結在留言 *私人活動必須報名參與，不設現場Walk-In，額滿即止。 *網上報名表格只供一位參加者使用，同行友人請個別報名，謝謝支持。 *圖片借用自Mazen Kerbaj...

Comrade Sarath Maddumage, who is presenting the solo exhibition of paintings “To Enjoy Life”, is currently residing in Switzerland.

But his homeland is Sri Lanka. He has come to us with the expectation and vision he has for his homeland and the land where he grew up. His art exhibition is coming to his motherland from six places including Switzerland and Nepal in order to express his gratitude to the Gothama Children's Home where he grew up and to encourage other resident children. Although our comrade is living a comfortable life in Switzerland compared to Sri Lanka, he is holding this art exhibition with many hopes in mind, not forgetting the bitter and painful experiences of his life. Comrade Sarath's childhood was very painful. Having lost his father's love and care, he had to spend most of his life in child care centers from infancy to adolescence. Not long after, he lost his mother's affection. ...
