Thessaloniki, Greece: The time has come for my roar to be heard – Denunciation of sectarianism by the Biologica haunt

Posted on 2021/12/29 by darknights

“Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! […] You have a fixed idea!” – Max Stirner

It’s been some time that I wanted my anger to be heard. An anger that awaited for its moment, so that it can be ready to be released from within me. If this denunciation won’t bother everyone, it will bother most, if not then it will bother a few. And for many reasons that I won’t analyse!

I have been active in the anarchist / anti-authoritarian milieu in Thessaloniki since September ‘21 and I was not pleased by many things and generally they do not express me. Because, as Renzo Novatore wrote, “I am an individualist because I am an anarchist and I am an anarchist because I am a nihilist.”

Nevertheless, I did not fall into the trap of dogmatism, I did not stop my activity just because most collectives and squats do not represent post-left anarchy, pure negation, direct action and informalism. Whenever and wherever I could, I showed my solidarity in practice, from participating
in postering, to taking part in protests, and only out of personal desire because I was tired from complete isolation in Athens.

But some do not appreciate it and worse, they turn against me.

Since the announcement of the plans for the demolition of the Biologica haunt, I wanted to show my solidarity and support in this situation that the squat has come. I knew very well what had happened 9 years ago, but it wasn’t an obstacle in this particular action of mine, because I was not involved in the “civil war” 1 as I did not and will never hold a position in these past events, because nothing will change, as it would be stupid of me to maintain vendettas. I always look at the present, I only study the past when there is something useful for today!

The first open assembly in support of Biologica is announced and took place in SPS 2 . In short, before the assembly began, I was asked by a person (whom I do not know if they are from Biologica or from another collective that is housed in the haunt) to leave because I am not accepted,
because I am from the anarchist haunt of Nadir. I respected this request because I had no mood for fights and quarrels. I left SPS and then some comrades (not related to Nadir) left some minutes later dissatisfied by this request.

Greece: International Campaign for Revolutionary Anarchism and Solidarity with Revolutionary Prisoners

Posted on 2021/12/20 - 2021/12/21 by darknights

International Campaign for Revolutionary Anarchism and Solidarity with Revolutionary Prisoners

With the capitalist destruction of earth and life continuing unhindered and the nearing prospects of an ecological collapse, there is, perhaps more than ever, a serious and immediate need for global revolutionary movements. Where do our movements here in Europe stand faced with the immense challenges and demands of our epoch? Can we retrace our revolutionary roots? Can we become the creative force that can effectively abolish the cannibalistic authority of the rich few over the many?

Outside of Europe, the revolutionary spirit has reaffirmed its historical strength with armed and organized insurrections in Chiapas and the Middle East paving the way for the liberation of life through the self-organization of the people on the bottom, on terms of equality and communitarianism. But also all around the world in recent decades we see that combative resistance and insurrections are breaking out as a result of the increasing violence and totalitarianism of capitalism.

Let’s draw our inspiration from the Black resistance movement in the U.S. and the uprising in Chile. These were popular people-led movements using militant and insurrectionist strategies to directly confront the oppressors and their armed thugs (the police). Daily images of barricades, burning banks and attacks against cops flooding global news are the reminder that the world of those in power is easily set ablaze when the rage of the oppressed finds a collective expression.

Athens, Greece: Call for participation in the defense of the Squatted Community of Prosfygika on Alexandras Avenue (EN, TUR, ES, IT, DE, FR)

Posted on 2021/12/20 - 2022/01/30 by darknights

Hello comrades,

We address this call to collectives and individuals from all around the world to join the combative defense of PROSFYGIKA against the imminent repression. The attempted evacuation of our neighborhood must be turned into a central event of resistance and a victory against political power and the gentrification of our neighborhoods in the metropolis.

Call in espanol.pdf
Call in italiano.pdf
Call auf deutsch.pdf
Call in francaise.pdf

WHAT WE INVITE YOU TO DEFEND:

The building complex of Prosfygika was built in 1933 for the refugees coming from Asia minor.

In the conditions of the time, a vibrant working class neighbourhood with communal characteristics emerged. Today,it is one of the biggest building complexes in the center of Athens, which is still not gentrified and exploited by big investors or the state. It is a place of strategic significance, since it is located between the two ‘pillars’ of authority – the Supreme Court on one hand and the Police Headquarters on the other.

Within this socio-spatial frame, some militants, who were already living in the neighborhood as squatters, decided to organize. In 2010 they initiated the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, having as its central decision-making political organ the Assembly of Squatted Prosfygika (SY.KA.PRO.). A communal body for everyday life and political struggle.

Patras, Greece: Responsibility Claim/Attack at the Zarouchleika Police Station

Posted on 2021/12/17 - 2021/12/17 by darknights

December ’08-December ’21

The thread of social struggles unfolds and widens the historical circle. The revolutionary act takes the consciousness one step further. It opens up paths against oblivion, devaluation, fragmented and incomplete historical-social memory, flattening and fascism. In the perpetual cycle of social struggle, actions form consciences and consciences form revolutionary strategy. Similar to the drying out, torture, executions and terrorism of yesterday, the regime today continues to embellish the same practice. It murders, imprisons, beats, beats up, files, terrorizes. The pandemic is an opportunity for the new idiots and modern lepers.

Then and now the answer must be the same. We attacked at dawn on Sunday 5/12 at the police station in Zarouchleika, Patras, on the one hand to honour the memory of Alexandros Grigoropoulos and on the other hand as a minimum for the recent murder by the state dogs of Nikos Sampanis.

We wink at all those who feel cheerful at the sound of such actions. Solidarity and strength to the two men in custody for a similar attack. War now and always on the state and the bosses.

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES…

..art with fires,the glow of love is here,the world is not won by prayers….

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the arson of the vehicle of Michaloliakos – Zaroulia* by Proletarian Cell Dimitris Dagklis

Posted on 2021/12/14 - 2021/12/14 by darknights

The capitalist management of the pandemic reveals in the most blatant way how barbaric and murderous the capitalist system is. A system that destroys everything in its path in the name of supposed growth.It destroys and pollutes the natural environment, the primary cause of pandemics.

It condemns entire peoples and the lower social strata to poverty, sets up hundreds of deaths from COVID 19 around the world, absence of hospitals, vaccines in African countries and other protective measures.

In Greece, and while we are in the fourth wave of the pandemic, the government continues to methodically undermine the already degraded ΕΣΥ (Εθνικό Σύστημα Υγείας, National Healthcare Service) for the sole purpose of privatising it. Moreover, a current strengthening of the ΕΣΥ will in future be an obstacle to the further exploitation of health care as a field of profit for private capital.

The law on protests, the labour and environmental bill, the new system of admission to higher education, the teacher evaluation, the university police, the reorganisation of basic goods are all coming to secure a ‘new’ reality for thousands of workers and beyond.

In this condition of an all-out attack on the popular strata, the fascists are also making their reappearance. Various far-right groups, sometimes more vigorously and sometimes not, are trying to fill the gap left by X.A. (Χρυσή Αυγή, Golden Dawn, Neo-Nazi Party) It was to be expected that this would happen. On the one hand, because fascism will exist as long as there is poverty and exploitation (acting as a disorienting factor in the struggle against the state and capital) and on the other hand, because such paramilitary groups function as a repressive complement to the official state apparatus.

Athens, Greece : Attack against Municipal Police Station in Pagkrati area

Posted on 2021/12/08 by darknights

We live in a period where it is not so easy to make demonstrations without being attacked by the cops. The reason is not to close the streets for the flow of commercial interests but it is also to spread fear in the society, the breaking of the solidarity that might grow out of collective moments of struggle and make us to helpless targets of their thirst of power. It does not matter the reason of the demonstration. It could be teachers, firefighters, anarchists. We live in a period where it could be dangerous to make a demonstration. Because we are few and the squads of the uniformed death regime are many.

In Exarchia the constant attacks on MAT stopped when we lost Polytechnio and Delta came back to the streets. The city of Athens seems full of cops and cameras. But our desire to watch the democratic facade breaking down is still alive.

In the end of another murderous year, where we saw a lot of executions of migrants in the borders, at the sea and the land, executions in the streets from the police, death in prisons, death from Covid because the regime prefers to give all the money to buy new toys for the uniformed forces, we decided to strike back with the few means that we own.

In the morning of 3rd December we broke with stones the facade of the Municipal Police in Pagkrati, Vinkelman Street. We hope the piece of trash inside to felt a little bit of the fear, which the same ones, spread everywhere. One of the reasons we chose the municipal police is a murder. On February 1st, 2013, immigrant street vendors in the neighbourhood of Thissio got chased off by the Athens municipal police. They trapped one of them in a corner, above the train rails. When the cops attempted to steal the worker’s merchandise, Babakar Ndiaye (38 years old from Senegal) fell onto the subway tracks from 7 meters high and died instantly. We will not forget and we will not forgive. We want to remember Babakar Ndiaye alive and we will not let his murderers forget what they did to him. Municipal police can also kill, and to give them weapons is a matter of time like in all the countries.

The new law on molotovs didn’t make us afraid because anyway using molotov was a felony and when we have them, we will use them or police will not find them. We never carried molotovs and thinking that is a high charged crime.

The action we did wants to give a message. Beyond molotovs and guns you can find more easy means to attack to easy targets. Stones, in the street and towards targets are very good if you don’t let your DNA on them. You don’t have to carry them, you don’t have to be very close to the target and plus to this, some time they create more damage to cops and materials than molotovs do. So, let’s act as we can and use the means accordingly and as upgraded as possible but without every time to lose the chance for action. The city is big and targets are everywhere.

Glasgow, Scotland: Banner Drop at the Greek Consulate for the 13 years since the state murder of anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos in Greece EN,Gàidhlig,GR

[GLASGOW] Banner Drop at the Greek Consulate for the 13 years since the state murder of anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos.

‘A bullet in the heart of Alexandros to close the circle of the statist machine’s omnipotence. A bloodstain on the Messolonghiou pedestrian street to open the circle of rebellion that wrecked the legal order and sowed chaos and anarchy in all cities throughout Greece.’
– Nikos Romanos, Requiem for a Journey of No Return.

As of today, 6/12/2021, it has been 13 years since the Greek state murdered the anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos. Alexis was shot by two cops, E. Korkoneas and V. Saraliotis, in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, following minor clashes with the police. As soon as the news of Alexis’s murder broke, a spontaneous insurrection began. Protests, riots, expropriations and occupations of public buildings were but some of the collective expressions of rage. Despite the attempts of state and capital to depoliticise the murder, we must not forget that Alexis was killed because of his political beliefs – he challenged in practice the authority of the police and, by extension, that of the state. This is the violence faced every day by those whose existence the state deems undesirable, those who are a threat to their social order.

13 years later, the spirit of the December revolt is alive in the resistance of the Anarchist/Anti-Authoritarian movement. As anarchists, we stand in solidarity with all insurrections against the state apparatus worldwide, present and future. Our struggles take place in our streets and neighbourhoods, in our workplaces, schools and universities. We will reclaim our space and our lives.

FROM ATHENS TO SCOTLAND, INSURRECTIONS ARE NOT A UTOPIA.

Patras, Greece: Taking responsibility for ambushing cops

Posted on 2021/12/06 - 2021/12/06 by darknights

10 March 2021 we set up an ambush with bins waiting for the cops in the Aguia area. When we saw them from a distance of 20 meters, we came out of the school and threw stones, and 2 molotov cocktails, the police car put the car directly into reverse and left the area, later a DIAS team chased us but lost us in the alley. A cop on the street also got hit by a fire from a balcony and then we burned his shirt.

P.S. Flame, you idiot, watch your mouth. 5 times we’ve chased you and once we beat you if you remember correctly back in the 4th E.P.A. when you walked in and then ran and hid behind cops.
