Patras,  Responsibility claim for an incendiary attack
by Incendiary Memory & Rage Cell

“We are all doomed if our ugliness becomes a habit”

High prices. Poverty. Misery. War. Total capitalist onslaught. State assassinations. “Workers’ accidents”. Femicides. Anti-immigration policy.

The reality that we, the class and social lower strata are experiencing is characterized by an all-out attack by the state – capital – patriarchy against us. We are just one month from the state mass murder of hundreds of migrants in Pylos, four months from the state-capitalist crime in Tempe that was dubbed an accident, three years from the murder of our comrade Vassilis Maggos by the cops, the uniformed minions of power, in the city of Volos, targeted for his unquenchable militant existence.

At a time when people are losing their lives waiting for a non-existent ambulance, cops are shooting and killing 16, 19, 20 year old Roma kids, immigrants, poor people, allegedly in danger and self-defence, applying the racist doctrine of “first we execute and then we evaluate”, a la USA, where once again the toothless public fire protection proves inadequate, resulting in vast tracts of land being burned, hundreds of animals being killed directly or indirectly as their natural environments are destroyed, people watching a lifetime’s work go up in flames, where everyone and everything is measured in money, in compensation, wages, a bonus, a net of money thrown at the plebians, this suffocating reality testifies that the state and capitalist barbarity and violence are constant.

But in the face of this reality that is accelerating and becoming more acute daily, despite the apparent hegemony and omnipotence of the political system in its most neoliberal and totalitarian expression as formed in the present composition of the bourgeois parliament, we declare that all the fronts of the social – class war are still here. Nothing has ended – everything continues.

Honouring our class and militant duty to fight back against all those who steal and extract our lives, at dawn on Saturday 15/7 we chose to consign a van belonging to Hellenic Train (formerly TRAINOSE) to the flames. A company that, even after the Tempi murder, continues to show complete disregard for its infrastructure, with the state’s blessing, resulting in our fellow human beings being exposed to mortal danger on a daily basis. The incidents that have occurred since Tempi are already many and if it were not for the timely and responsible attitude of workers to prevent and fix the shit that corporate indifference and profit spreads, we would have had more, many more, incidents. It is these workers who lost their colleagues/s in Tempe, who went on strikes, who warned, who were vilified by the media and the state the next day as supposedly co-responsible for the Tempe incident. Our solidarity with their struggles is a given.

As far as the snitch journalists and the media as a whole are concerned, washing away state crimes, cop killings, turning a blind eye to high profile and trafficking ring leaders, abusers and femicides, hosting trash like Balaskas (a trade unionist of the Greek police) (who gave legal advice to the femicides, advice that was followed to the letter in subsequent incidents following his statements), Kougias (a lawyer) and so many others, who bombard daily with all kinds of information and narratives to blunt the causes that give rise to exploitation, poverty and violence, the destruction of the natural world and social disintegration; at the very moment they are targeting and slandering every struggle, every fighter, we remind them that the time will come when they will be held accountable.

SCUMBAGS – SNITCHES – JOURNALISTS

THE STATE AND CAPITAL COMMIT MURDER

VASSILIS MAGGOS PRESENT IN OUR MEMORY, IN OUR RAGE,

SOLIDARITY TO THE IMMIGRANTS

UNINTERRUPTED STRUGGLE FOR LIFE AND FREEDOM
