Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson of the luxury car of a high-ranking DEI executive at noon in Koukaki

Posted on 2022/07/22 by darknights

The day starts well with hatred for the bosses

It is provocative for the golden boys of the electricity companies to think that they will show off their wealth through their luxury cars, worth thousands of euros, which were granted to them for free thanks to an amendment by the Ministry of the Environment, and to believe that they will remain immune to the public’s anger.Nowadays, the cost of living is increasing geometrically. Electricity, water and gas bills come inflated by hundreds of euros. Basic foodstuffs such as bread, rice, pasta and vegetables have become luxury items. House repossessions and power cuts are on the increase. Rents are constantly rising. While the fake ‘electricity subsidy’ to the social base presented as a financial relief, in fact it is a scam of just a few euros, so few that sometimes they are not paid into our bills, is a communication weapon in the quiver of the criminals and crooks of the ND government. In the face of this constant devaluation of our lives, we are not prepared to simply watch journalists announce how much inflation has increased. Impoverishment and destitution are a consequence of the political choices of those who administer power. The economic crisis has demonstrated most emphatically that the ‘value’ of life depends on whether you are rich or poor. The rich enjoy their bloody privileges and have freepasses to rooms and intensive care units when needed, while the poor are left to die stained in the corridors of understaffed and underfunded hospitals. The only freepass the poor are to be given is for the front lines of imperialist wars. The state officials who organize our exploitation, the banks, the big bosses and the goldenboys who plunder our nature and our lives, the “parrots” of power who turn white into black and instruct us, as the new Antoinettes, to eat sponge cake if we have no bread, must be put in the crosshairs of the oppressed and the exploited. For all these reasons, at noon on Friday 8 July, we handed over to the flames a luxury car of large capacity parked outside the offices of the Public Power Corporation and belonging to a major executive of that company.To our plundering and impoverishment we must respond with assemblies, occupations, strikes, expropriations, conflicts, arson, demonstrations

Anarchists – Communists

PS: Solidarity with the hunger striker G. Michailidis since 23/5, who is putting his body as a barricade to the regime of exception that is attempting to impose once again, on another political prisoner, aiming at his isolation, as well as his political, psychological and physical extermination.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack on the political office of Development Minister Adonis Georgiades by Proletarian Cell Dimitris Christoulas

Posted on 2022/04/14 - 2022/04/19 by darknights

“The occupying government of Tsolakoglu literally annihilated my possibility of survival, which was based on a decent pension which for 35 years I alone (without state support) had been paying for it. Because I am of an age that does not give me the individual possibility to react (not excluding of course if a Greek would take the kalashnikov the second would be me) I find no other solution than a decent end before I start to look in the trash for my alimony. I believe that the young people with no future will one day take up arms and hang the national traitors upside down in Syntagma Square, as the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945 (Loreto Square in Milan)” Dimitris Christoulas*

We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the political office of Adonis Georgiades, the representative of capital, politician responsible for the poverty and misery suffered by the people through poverty.

From the economic crisis of 2009 from which the country never came out, to the socialization of the losses of capital from the pandemic Covid 19, the latest increases in the price of electricity, fuel and almost all essentials are added to the already unbearable cost of survival of the working class and the people, to the pre-existing queues of the ΟΑΕΔ (Employment Insurance) , to the pension cuts, to the crumbs of the basic wage. The “development” invoked and evangelised by the domestic bourgeoisie is reflected physically and materially in people who die trying to keep warm, who look in the garbage for food, who commit suicide for economic reasons. It is reflected in workplaces that are graveyards for people of our class, where dozens of workers do not return home because a few extra euros were not “wasted” for the safety of the workers. Their growth translates into slow death in the corridors of hospitals. To the nearly 27,000 deaths from Covid 19, to the blockade of care in public hospitals amidst the increasing privatisation of the ΕΣΥ (National Health Service). Their deployment amounts to a daily battle for the survival of the next day for the majority of society at the same time as a handful of industrialists, shipowners and contractors continually speculate on our backs, reap the rewards of the toil and slavery we produce, extract surplus value from our starvation wages, continually devaluing the value of our labour power.
