It reads “There are no ‘good citizens’, only potential criminals.” This banner was made in response to propaganda circulated by pro-Beijing establishmentarian political groups in Hong Kong, assuring “good citizens” everywhere that extradition measures do not threaten those with a sound conscience who are quietly minding their own business.

https://crimethinc.com/2019/06/22/hong-kong-anarchists-in-the-resistance-to-the-extradition-bill-an-interview]] The Fifth Estate supports the struggle of the anarchists and anti-authoritarians of Hong Kong for a world in which social solidarity and individual freedom can create community. We join them in opposing the brutal dictatorship of the Chinese government and its supporters in Hong Kong as much as we ppose the tyranny of the U.S. and other governments. From an anarchist in Hong Kong: Lenny’s Prayer (to the world) Living on earth without borders Traveling the land without a visa Breathing clean and fresh air Drinking natural unpolluted water . Growing without barriers Working without controllers Speaking without fear and Communicating without filter Creating without interference “Record di volo” (Broken Wing Music, 2019) Lyrics sung in Chinese and English Text: Lenny / Music: F. Sor Guitar: Lenny / Voice: June
