We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.
The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident: we are striking back at those who trample on our dreams. To those who rape people at police stations, to those who mercilessly beat up migrants, to those who protect crooks like the “illustrious” Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, such as the one on 10/31 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. There must be no truce with those who suppress our lives.
We speak the language of social and class liberation, the language of political resistance as a counterpoint to the language of state terrorism, discipline, ruthless exploitation, moral decay, and the dead end of capitalist individualism. We defend direct action and the targeting of those who rule over us and shamelessly contribute to the shaping of this war-torn reality; from the mass media that manufacture fragmented consciousnesses steeped in alienation, bourgeois justice that blindly serves the interests of the economic and political elite, the sweatshops of wage slavery that reek of death, and even the scum of the Greek police with their boundless authoritarian arrogance.
In this current era of fragmentation within social movements, the weakening of the anarchist movement, and widespread apathy and defeatism, we must preserve our political principles intact, make direct confrontation with the enemy our foremost priority until fear changes sides, and externalize our vision for a world of equality, solidarity, freedom, and selflessness.
