Hedges is free to express himself in public. In his country, everyone is entitled to their opinion, even idiots useful to hostile foreign regimes. What about in the PRC under CCP rule? There are lots of dissidents and people who think differently in China. Can they express themselves and speak freely? Or would they be censored, jailed or disappeared? You block free social media in China, erase critical voices and punish people who don’t parrot the mindless party line of ‘Xi Jinping Thought.’

@ChrisLynnHedges When we want to help people in Gaza, yet Israel government says Gaza issue is Israel internal issue, will we stop? So we should keep helping people in Uyghur, Tiber, and Hong Kong when their human rights are violated.

@ChrisLynnHedges He can criticise because in the West, we have what is called democracy. Now, do you think Christopher would be alive if he was in China and criticising the CCP regime?????????

@ChrisLynnHedges That does not make him right on everything. It's his opinion and most of us don't care about his opinions. Once again, too clueless to understand the difference. Communist brain. Somewhere between delusional and stupidly informed.

Our campaign is proud to be endorsed by Chris Hedges! Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, author, and host of the online broadcast The Chris Hedges Report. In his endorsement, Hedges says: "I’ve admired and supported the revolutionary socialist Kshama Sawant since she was first elected in 2013 to the Seattle City Council. Her fierce commitment to the working class, her steadfast defiance of the billionaires who destroyed our democracy, and her anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist credentials have long made her a special target. "The billionaire class has pumped millions of dollars into campaigns to defeat her and orchestrated a recall vote in 2021, which she fought and won. "Her current campaign for Congress is part of our grassroots struggle to wrest power from the hands of the global ruling class. It is a campaign for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich. It is a campaign to raise the minimum wage to at least $25 an hour. It is a campaign to block landlords from extorting massive rents and evicting families. It is a campaign to drive politicians like Adam Smith, a tool of big business who is funded by and subservient to the Israel lobby, from Congress. "In an age when we stand on the cusp of fascism, we cannot rely on the Democratic Party, whose betrayal of the working class and subservience to the rich gave us Trump. "We need a political earthquake. We need a revolution. But it won’t happen until we stand with revolutionaries like Kshama."

Kshama Sawant
