“The state is not something that can be destroyed by revolution, but it is a condition, a certain relationship between people, a mode of human behavior; we destroy it by entering into other relationships, by behaving differently.”

– Gustav Landauer

When we carried the spirit of solidarity to Berlin-Neukölln in the first hours of January 3, Thanos Chatzianggelou was in the 15th day of his hunger and thirst strike.

Our target was a truck from the car rental company Hertz, which we burned completely because Hertz – not only in Greece, but especially there – provides vehicles to the enemy (police, military, private security forces) at reduced prices. In the USA, in December, Hertz had to pay almost 170 million dollars in compensation to former customers who were falsely accused by Hertz of stealing rental cars, some of whom ended up in jail.

We found the Sonnenallee in Neukölln, a neighbourhood where there are frequent clashes with the police, to be a suitable place for the fire. After the riots there on New Year’s Eve, the politicians and the press went on a rampage against the “migrant youths”. We, on the other hand, welcome every rocket and firecracker used against the cops and show solidarity with the rioters.

For the fulfilment of Thanos Chatzianggelou’s demands!

Solidarity with the 11 Turkish prisoners who are also on hunger strike in Greece!

Freedom for Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike in Italy!

Strength to all the resistant prisoners whose names would make any text endless!
