"Their lack of regard for the Hong Kong law is due to their Marxist belief that change for the good can only be achieved through a virtual revolution (transformation), not simply reform."

Would an article about MLK include the phrase "..his lack of regard for U.S. law"? Wouldn't we use less loaded language like, "..his willingness to engage in civili disobedience and to break laws.." if it were MLK?

A second question about the loaded language concerns the other half of the above statement. The group may consider Maxism to be a key inspiration, fair enough, but the statement "is due to their Marxist belief" suggests that ONE reason and one reason ALONE ("marxism") is the ONLY reason and ONLY motivation for any and all such acts of civil disobedience. I challenge anyone to show that a belief in the *effectiveness* of the *tactic* of civil disobedience and it's *moral justifiability* in certain cases, is not an equally important esplanation for what their civil disobedience "is due to".
