A few days ago and while the anarchist comrade G. Michailidis had already been on hunger strike for a week, we decided to play a little bit with the limits of this world’s respectability. So we printed 25 posters with the aesthetics of normality. We knew – and our frequent walks through the places where they were hung confirmed this – that with this aesthetic our posters would stay a little longer hanging inside the courts because they carried on them the misery of wage slavery, the sad emptiness of careerism and the boredom of uniformity.
So we put on our best and got caught between the hypocritical smiles and the pluralities of politeness to become one with the paperhangers, the yuppies and the printers. This enabled us to move comfortably through familiar buildings and hateful court floors. We stuck our boring posters, on walls and bulletin boards, outside the offices of investigators and prosecutors and behind the backs of cops who complacently let us pass even in the “tightly controlled areas” for the sake of some vague confidence in the Normal.
Now that the last of the posters that stained the walls of the bourgeois justice system have been taken down, we can take responsibility for this small gesture of solidarity with G. Michaelides.
WE ARE NEITHER REDEEMED NOR REPENT
WE WILL ALWAYS COMMIT NEW CRIMES.
Immediate release of the anarchist striker from 23/5 G. Michailidis
