Trump, the world's greatest imperialist, is coming to Korea. He is the enemy of the working class and oppressed people around the world. Trump has consistently supported Israel's genocide of Palestinians in pursuit of Middle Eastern hegemony. Netanyahu praised Trump as "the greatest American president ever." Trump has called for a ceasefire in the Ukraine War, but he continues to wage an imperialist proxy war against Russia, recently weighing the provision of Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.

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...
