Smashing front windows in multiple supermarkets in Athens
By Anarchists
Monday I get something, Tuesday I can’t stand it, Wednesday I’m bored, Thursday I can’t wait, Friday morning… fuck the bosses.
What is a broken window doing on the pavement early in the morning? What does the anti-theft in the honey have to do with the control and shaping of our desires? Why aren’t discount offers another solution?
When the questions increase, sometimes you need to break down the wall that separates you from the necessary answers. And if the wall is made of glass, all the better.
The truth is we are impatient. We cannot wait for prices to fall on their own, nor for the state to stop selling us garbage and for supermarkets to serve it to us. However, we just as impatiently long for the smiles of people who do not find the “unexpected” answer to this regime of double poverty. Who turn up to work in the morning, and are happy to see the frightened faces of the scumbags who profit from our food when their property is affected.
We urge that the discontent be found in the shallow, ordinary, everyday exploitation and boredom of capitalist labour. Not in the organization of labour against its bosses. That the ways of creating and meeting needs become common. That we will not forever depend on others in order to live.
The “good” that you can neither buy nor steal, degraded in quality and standardized, nevertheless becomes the dominant object of our desire. Security systems, magnets, cameras, double glazing protect the things we need to live.
Having no direct connection to our basic needs, such as food and body care, we bind our desire to the greedy appetites of the state and the bosses.
Our imagination finds it difficult to free itself from the objects we lack. No matter how much prices rise, we will need supermarkets if we do not take charge of organizing our lives and our needs. We are breaking their windows so that we do not get used to death in stores. In the production-consumption chain, the windows that do not break have our bodies as commodities.
We choose to keep faith in communities that work for the self-evident, which are not related to those of harm and profit. For relationships that do not depend on intermediaries, agents and generally assholes who impose on us how to live.
On Wednesday 18/12 and Thursday 19/12 we carried out a barrage, smashing up the front windows of supermarkets and 1 ATM in the following neighbourhoods of Athens: Glyfada, Kaisariani, Zografou, Kato Patisia, Ilisia, Chalandri, Kypseli
