THE HUNGER STRIKER VS. THE DICTATOR

_Naomi Klein and Mohammed Rafi Arefin_ / The Intercept (New York)
The most prominent figure at the COP27 summit is not even there:
Alaa Abd El Fattah, Egypt’s highest-profile political prisoner,
whose first name became synonymous with the 2011 pro-democracy
revolution in Cairo’s Tahrir Square that ended the three-decade rule
of Egypt’s dictator Hosni Mubarak.

LEARNING FROM LULA’S WIN
[[link removed]]
_Alex Fleck_ / Progressive International
Lula and his coalition beat Bolsonaro and his shenanigans by
assembling a broad front, keeping true to its immensely popular
working-class politics and campaigning whilst allowing input from the
centre-right. The Brazilian left joined forces knowing full well that
there is no guarantee that it will win every issue in the future
coalition government.

CHINA AND WESTERN LEFTISTS
[[link removed]]
_Lijia Zhang_ / Chartist (London)
The UK Labour Party should try to understand China and its history
better, including the ‘century of humiliation under foreign
powers’. Don’t place the party on a self-appointed high moral
ground, accusing China of this and that, as the Americans have been
doing and demonstrating that they have not come to terms with
China’s rise. And finally, do not provoke China unnecessarily.

FOR DEMOCRACY

_Yuzana_ / The Irawaddy (Rangoon)
Resistance forces commonly known as People’s Defence Forces (PDF)
have been formed around the country. Women are part of the
PDFs. Moreover, female-only units are being formed in some regions to
fight against the military dictatorship. Myaung Women Warriors is one
of those units, having been formed in October last year.

FREE BOOK: THE CRISIS AND FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY
[[link removed]]
_Ada-Charlotte Regelmann, ed._ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Brussels)
This volume takes stock of some of the key problems permeating
representative democracy in Europe (and beyond) and to discuss
proposals for bottom-up restructuring of politics and society with a
view to a radical democratisation process, and explores approaches to
transforming the conditions of representation and participation at all
levels of politics.
