Athens, Greece: Multiple direct actions claimed in solidarity with anarchist hunger strike Giannis Michailidis

Athens, Greece: ‘The hunger strike continues – and so do the breakages.’ Attack on ELTA (Greek Postal Service)

A few hours before the council in Lamia regarding the decision on the satisfaction or not of the request of Giannis Michailidis, we broke the windows of the ELTA in Kaisariani on the road of Ethnikis Antistasis. Of course the council is not interested in this, but Giannis will know that the breaking continues until the release. The answer to the state’s repression is given in the streets. If the forces of the state destroy our marches, the city will be filled at night with alarms waiting to interrupt with their sound the illusion of security.

Freedom to Giannis Michailidis; until the destruction of every prison

Athens, Greece: Attack on Aigaleo Town Hall, two municipal service vehicles and the local metro station

Giannis Michailidis has been on hunger strike since 23/5 until today, demanding his release after the rejection of two requests for his release by the councils of the lackeys of political power.

This vindictive attitude of the state towards an anarchist leads us to a minimal gesture of solidarity with his struggle.

In the early morning of Friday 22/7 we broke the facade of the Aigaleo Town Hall, two municipal service vehicles and one side of the elevator of the Metro station across the street.

STATE AND CAPITAL ARE THE ONLY TERRORISTS

FREEDOM TO GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack on DEDDIE (Greek Electricity Distribution Network Operator) and HERON (Electricity company)

The daily brutal class attack that we receive from the capitalist government of the New Democracy and the bourgeois economic power through the inclusion of the basic commodity of electricity in the stock exchange is a blatant attack on the core of our lives.

To defend ourselves against this asymmetrical violence of the state and to cut the root of the bourgeois commodity system that daily gambles our survival, we must resort to the multiform practices of revolutionary, liberatory and de-alienating violence of the competing anarchist and communist movements.

It is in this context that we have found it necessary to intervene and break:

-a branch of the DEDDIE in Kallithea -a branch of HERON in Argyroupoli

Comrades

PS: We send our solidarity to the anarchist political prisoner Giannis Michailidis, who is on hunger strike since 23/5.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson & incendiary attacks by Cells of Anti-Militarist Action – Another war is possible

Posted on 2022/03/26 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

ANOTHER WAR IS POSSIBLE: CLASS, ANTI-STATE, REVOLUTIONARY.

We take responsibility for the arson attacks that took place from March 2 to 14 in areas of Athens. Specifically

At dawn on Wednesday 2/3 we set fire to and destroyed a company van of AKTORA in Chrysostomou Smyrnis Street in Vyronas. On 1/4/2021 in Evia, the bodies of 3 dead workers were found hanging on the DEI poles and thrown lifeless on the ground at an AKTORA construction site. The murdered workers of the class war are not included in any official statistics, many times they do not even have a name, nationality, age. They are mere fuel and legalized collateral damage. Only proletarian organization and revenge can keep alive the memory of the murdered workers and our class hatred against their murdering bosses. Giannis Carlatiras, 43 years old, George Toskas, 55 years old, and Alex Brouka, 45 years old. stand next to the names of Antonis Dellios, Stamatis Diplaris, Giritlis Tzihat and many other local and migrant workers, all of them murdered on AKTORA construction sites, in our own accounts, in our own memory.

Let us realize that the organization of class revolutionary anti-violence was not, nor is it, a secondary dimension of workers’ action. It is on organised proletarian counter-violence, on the destruction of capital’s proletarian elements and the targeting of its cadres, on the wildcat strikes, that not only any “bargaining power” of the exploited masses is based, but also their very unity in the fields of class warfare. It is the resistance and attack of the workers against the bosses that unites the Class, not the bargaining for the material conditions of its simple survival.

In the midst of declared war and class lockdowns, trade union slogans have been reduced to “health protection measures, masks, tests and vaccinations”, legitimising automatic conscription and therefore universal devaluation of labour power in the name of public health. War, every form of war organised by states, is an automatic devaluation of the class not only in terms of wages and rights but also in simple material and biological dimensions. War means extermination, destruction, death, and when it is officially declared, the generalized appeal to peace simply digs our hole. It can only seem dystopian to claim individual military helmets and safe passage routes to work in the event of an actual military conflict. A working class disciplined to the dictates of the state and capital is a working class vulnerable, easy prey to their warlike designs.

Thessaloniki, Greece – Explosive attacks against employer violence and class exploitation by Anarchist Action Organisation

Posted on 2021/07/04 - 2021/07/07 by darknights

Defeat is not loss, nor is it death. Defeat is acceptance. It is the oblivion of the dead of the class war. It is the bloodless surrender of collective history to the dustbin of oblivion. Defeat is assignment and messianism. Prolonging the battle, truce and compromise to a life below the class necessities and circumstances of the times. Defeat is not to give one’s life and freedom for the struggle, but to live deadened by the lack of social solidarity and class consciousness. To look to save your own skin when the person next to you is losing his steps, being left behind, dying. The times we live in are characterised by a profoundly dystopian condition, where everything seems predetermined. It is a time of dilemmas and great decisions. In the face of this dark period, it is our revolutionary duty to light the way with the hope of overthrow. To believe in our powers, to justify the loss of those who believed in them and are no longer with us. That is the stakes today: to keep alive the flame of subversion, the flame of insurrection until it becomes a fiery revolutionary conflagration. To be the link between the struggles of yesterday and tomorrow. For this land will only be cleansed by fire. Only with revolution.

The concerted attack of the state and the bosses on the ranks of the exploited social base leaves behind dozens of dead every day in the sweatshops of wage slavery. The barbarism in this society is the normalization and acceptance of the death of the proletarian base for the profits of the employers. A condition which is enshrined through class blackmail and methodical intensity of exploitation by the bosses. And it is not only the pervasive lack of determination and social solidarity that prevails in the ranks of the exploited. It is the very need for survival that narrows the thought of assertion and negotiation in the face of collective doom. It is the steady work of the employers’ trade unionism of the GSEE and the reformist left to jointly deconstruct the class barriers and degenerate the workers’ struggle. Abuse workers’ rights, assimilate and manipulate the radical aberrations of the workers’ struggle. To bury any attempt to overcome class exploitation, opening an unbridgeable gap between representative protest and collective resistance and subversion. And while the list of the dead of our class grows longer, avenging their loss is a matter for fewer and fewer of us. But class duty remains unabated.

Our daily life is drenched in blood. A dead construction worker, a dead supermarket worker. A work accident at a power station, in the sweatshops of the multinationals. And the proletarian rank and file, spectators to their loss and with tears in their eyes, bow their heads in resignation to life. The responsibility is suffocating us more and more every day. For all those whose names history will not record, for all those whose lives were sacrificed for the great interests, for the great overcoming of the crisis of neoliberalism. For all of them we are still here to fight every day. So that they are not forgotten. For their loss not to become mere statistics and numbers on analysts’ lists. For all of them we are here to fight our daily battles, with our small forces. Because the losses on the field of class warfare do not bear any more tears but are a cry for new hostilities.

Every dead worker is a bullet in the chamber of class revenge.
