In all revolutionary social-liberation movements, the fighters who lose their lives fighting for a free society become a political reference point not only for those who lived and fought with them, but – mainly – for those who come after them, for the new generations of fighters. However, for a fighter to remain alive over time, the responsibility lies with his contemporaries. To have honored him as he deserves, to keep him with them in the struggle, to refer to him. This is achieved by honoring the struggle he himself participated in, the political struggle for which he lost his life, his political values, his political-social goals and their historical timelessness.

2010 was a year of political milestones for the whole of society and for those involved in struggle. It was the year that the country plunged into an unprecedented – in its modern history – crisis. A crisis that began as a financial crisis triggered by the collapse of subprime mortgages in the USA in 2007, expanded into a global financial crisis and brutally hit this country as a financial and debt crisis. The PASOK government under the auspices of G. Papandreou, since late 2009, was preparing to hand the country over to the long-term supervision of supranational economic and political institutions (the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission, the European Central Bank), in order to avoid the admission that bankrupt Greece had not gone bankrupt and thus to save the domestic Greek banking system and by extension the European one. The price for this would be a series of loan agreements with the most abominable terms for the people. The social base would bear the entire burden for the restoration of the economic regime and the survival of the political system, which had passed into complete social delegitimization.

“A better world, better for all” –
Taking responsibility for arson attack on COSMOTE van -Hellenic (Telecommunications Organisation S.A)
Kyriakos X. always present

Technology plays a primary role in shaping the modern dystopia. Human contact has been replaced by online interaction, which is based on the construction and promotion of a self-image aimed at strengthening fragile self-confidence, which ends up being ephemeral and dependent on an insatiable need for reassurance. Personal relationships have degraded completely and total alienation is prevalent. At the same time, technology, as a pillar of capitalism, creates artificial needs through systematized advertising propaganda, which is becoming increasingly effective with the use of profile personalization tools. It promotes consumption of material goods as a purpose in itself and as an idea of personal fulfillment.

Beyond the alienation and degradation it brings, technology, being a
loyal servant of the states’ interests, strengthens their repressive
mechanisms. Europe, citing the fear of invisible and visible enemies
that it itself has given birth to and nurtured, implements emergency
policies and fortifies the war and “defense” industry (army, police,
telecommunications and surveillance software manufacturing companies, artificial intelligence cameras, geolocation devices, etc.). Thus, the OTE Group, as an offshoot of the “defense” industry, has contributed in practice to the shielding of Fortress Europe, by designing and developing the technological infrastructure of Frontex and eu-LISA, making it an accomplice in the murders of immigrants at the borders and the strengthening of anti-immigration policy. At the same time, it participates in the normalization of surveillance, collecting and generously offering our data to the state mechanism, thus fulfilling the role of the ruffian.

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.
