Athens : Expropriation of Sklavenitis supermarket in Upper Ilisia
On 16/12/2023 we went shopping in Ano Ilisia at the Sklavenitis supermarket, only our “shopping” was different this time as it had a 100% discount. How is this done, you ask? It’s very simple. We got organized, entered the supermarket, took what we needed and left without letting them steal from us one more time. You see it’s a matter of choice.
In this “celebratory” climate, where the public discourse is flooded with calls for help for the needy, we have chosen to show our solidarity by grabbing necessities from those who steal from us every day and share them with solidarity structures that support the most impoverished parts of society. We decided not to offer this solidarity from our non-existent reserve but by taking back from those who always gain on our backs.
No one has the right to step on our throats and blackmail us into choosing whether to pay the damn bills, the unreal rent, or eat. Our needs do not fit the “yes, but”, household baskets, and waiting for better days (that will not come). We bring the best days! We are life and they are the vermin of death. And let’s not laugh; there are more of us and it is only a matter of choice whether to cut off the foot that is stepping on us.
We (also) call for the proliferation of similar actions…
PS : Comradely greetings to the comrades who acted in a similar way days ago in Byronas and Patras.
Let prices fall, wages rise!
Du storms in the super market, payment refusals, war on the bosses’ war!
We expropriate because we have nothing to lose but the chains… of the super markets!
Everything is ours because everything is stolen…
