AGAINST STATE PLOTS – STANDING WITH OUR COMRADES

Excerpts from a letter of comrade Vangelis Stathopoulos:

…….So I have been summoned to a trial, in which I am being tried for the concept of solidarity. Solidarity is a relationship and a selfless relationship between people. A social relationship, a concept that particularly inspires the wider resistance movement and a basic component to build a world against the exploitation of man by man. A common component also within resistance movements worldwide, a basic foundation of their history….

….Solidarity is being tried in my case with the most serious charges because I helped an injured comrade. My prosecution and trial is based solely on political criteria, on the attitude of dignity and solidarity that I have followed  consistently in my life. I have nothing to save but my own life, I have nothing to defend but the constant struggle against the murderous fury of the State and capital! If my practical solidarity is the crime for which I must be condemned and punished, I declare myself unrepentant!

Assembly of Solidarity to the anarchist Vanggelis Stathopoulos

Solidarity with all those fighting against the war in Russia and Ukraine. (Greece)

Solidarity with all those fighting against the war in Russia and Ukraine.

In the early hours of Thursday 24/2, the Russian state launched a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian state. A bloody war is developing with thousands of deaths, rapes, killings of civilians and destructions of the natural world.

In the Russian state, against the calls for national unity, transnational massacres and military recruiting, a war against war is unfolding. Mass demonstrations, refusals of military recruiting, armed attacks on military personnel, arson of recruiting offices are being developed. Actions that also take place are sabotage on railway lines that transport military equipment and on factories that produce war material. One of the most hopeful anti-militarism movements of recent decades is underway.

The Russian state is trying in vain to suppress this movement, by arresting and conducting express trials that imprisoned many people opposing those things, with exterminating sentences. The Moscow Anarchist Black Cross makes an international call for solidarity to those imprisoned and in complete isolation. We answer to this call and send strength and solidarity to the comrades in the prisons of Russia.

Athens,Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack at the Attiko Metro station destroying entrance barriers, ticket machines and ATMs.

Taking responsibility by Anarchists

The use and exploitation of the urban fabric by State and capital has experienced different conditions and modes of enforcement. From metropolitan centres – factories aimed at absorbing as much of the industrial workforce as possible, to bureaucratic and decision-making centres, to amusement parks and theme parks, metropolitan centres have been points of great interest to the rulers of this world. An interest which was in turn met with resistance from the struggling sections of society. From roadblocks and barricades, clashes and demonstrations, to occupations and acts of sabotage, the social base found and continues to find ways of re-appropriating the space in which it lives, works and socialises. From the Paris Commune to the Gezi Square in Istanbul, the struggles for and within the urban fabric make up a mosaic of resistance against State and capital.

Even today, when the Athenian metropolis, with its centre at its peak, is a tourist resort reserved for the European “cream of the crop”, there are daily struggles to defend and visualise the social base. In a situation where the State with its uniformed guards is consolidating the further impoverishment and alienation of those from below, struggles such as the one in defence of Exarcheia are moments of rallying and counter-attack.

Athens, Greece: Update from the march to Omonia Police Station against the rapist cops

Athens, Update from the march to Omonia Police Station against the rapist cops

 

On Friday 21 October 2022 the march that started from Monastiraki towards the police station of the Omonia rapists was massive and angry. The struggle against the police State that rapes, tortures and murders must intensify.

When we got close to the police station we saw it blocked off with riot cops vans,  and many riot squads. Clashes started there with many bottles being thrown at the cops but also terrible repression from their side with lots of chemicals and chasing.

Athens, Greece: Claim of action by Exarchia’s Paint Bombers

Claim of action by  Color Bombers

On Friday 30 September we threw paint at the City Hall of Athens, without the cop forces stationed in the area having time to notice anything, thus returning the visit that Bakoyannis( Mayor of Athens) made earlier that day to the EMΠ (polytechnic university). In this way we decided to add a piece to the militant movements that have begun to take form and respond to the overall attack against the neighbourhood of Exarcheia.

This action, although it left visible signs, was hushed up so as not to spoil the narrative of normality, law and order that they are trying to establish in the centre of the city.

The Municipality of Athens has chosen to seize by force and deprive both the residents and the movements at the same time of the two public spaces of Exarcheia.

Text re the notification of our case, by Lambros B. and Panagiotis B.

I know how the newspapers lie,

because they wrote that they shot you in the foot.

I know they never aim for the legs.

In the mind is the target, your mind, huh?

Katerina Gogou

On Tuesday, September 20, a bunch of plainclothes cops (of various services according to their statement, led by State security officers) accompanied by a prosecutor entered the house we live in to conduct a search and at the same time notified us with a written summons that we are accused of a case from last year, for which both our comrades and friends Fotis D. and Jason R. are accused with ridiculous and fabricated evidence and have been held in custody for almost 11 months.

During their stay in the house they destroyed everything and took with them our personal objects of museum character, all the electronic devices that existed in the house and books/brochures/things that they themselves considered dangerous (the books in particular were what was in our library from comrade Dimitris Koufontinas and some other foreign revolutionary organizations, because apparently revolutionary memory gives the cops and the State nightmares)

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for a placed incendiary devices at the Mercedes dealership in Acharnon ave, by Anarchists

Athens, Taking responsibility by Anarchists

On 8/9 we placed incendiary devices at the Mercedes dealership in Acharnon avenue street, the result was the destruction of the store’s facade and at least four burnt luxury cars.

Mercedes is the oldest car company in the world. From the very first moment, the production of cars has been a disaster for the planet. A large percentage of the world’s oil production is used to run cars. Their production poisons the water and air and destroys large areas of the natural world.

The car industry has changed our lives enormously. Roads and railroads have been built everywhere. Trains, buses and cars are used primarily so that they can, in a short time, travel long distances to get people to the sweatshops of wage slavery.

Greece: No cover-up for the torturers of Vassilis Mangos

No cover-up for the torturers of Vassilis Manggos

On October 21 the trial against three police officers for the beating of the comrade Vassilis Manggos (which took place two and a half years ago) will take place in the court Volos. Vassilis was beaten and arrested by the MAT (anti-riot police) and the OPKE (anti-terrorism unit) during the attack on the demonstration in solidarity with the arrested of the long march the previous day, against the construction of a new plant designed to convert commercial waste into fuel.

Taken to Volos police station he was insulted, humiliated, beaten and tortured by the guardians of the law, who late at night released him in a semi-conscious state with six broken ribs. Three days later he denounced in a text the torture and beatings he suffered that scarred him for life and led to his death a month later.
After two and a half years the local judiciary finally decided to send three accused police officers to trial, but for one minor offence, that of grievous bodily harm. In addition, it took no account whatsoever of the request submitted by Vassilis’s parents, and the testimonies of dozens of people present at the scene of the arrest. This shows that this trial is a farce, whose only purpose is to unmask a few of those responsible for the beating of Vassilis, and cover up the torture he suffered. This is yet another case of judicial mafia, hatched by the judiciary against its own people, a judiciary that supports LaFarge’s colonialist plans – AGET and at the same tinme has declared war on the inhabitants of Volos.

At the local level, the imposition of commercial activities at the expense of people and the environment is evident, with the municipal authority of Beos, and their respective governments, completely subservient to the dictates of capital. The privatisation of public social elements, such as water in Stagiatis, is one of the great scourges of our region. Officials chosen from the ranks of cops and businessmen, with the support of the judiciary, undermine with every means and downgrade the region’s water to sell it to unscrupulous private entrepreneurs and monopoly giants. Through the use of mafia practices, the municipal authority is seeking to suppress the local community’s struggle against privatisation. A thorn in the side of their plans is the organised resistance of residents.

Microphone solidarity with the uprising in Iran |Saturday 24/9 13.00 Monastiraki Area (Athens,Greece)

May the flame of the uprising in Iran spread across the earth

The assassination of Masha Amini by the vice police, has sparked a giant uprising in the territory of the Iranian State in recent days. Large-scale demonstrations, wild clashes with the repressive apparatus, attacks on police stations, destruction of State and capitalist targets make up a mosaic of a spontaneous anti-state uprising, which puts God and the State in the crosshairs. It sets its sights on decades of cruel repression and oppression.
In recent decades the rulers of the Iranian State have chosen religious fundamentalism as a mechanism of governance. A counter-revolutionary strategy by which those in power try to present exploitation, oppression, murder as divine and virtuous work. They impose national unity around a common religion so as to conceal social and class antagonisms. They divide them from below by creating false juxtapositions such as the issue of faith, reinforcing the oppression of women with their total control by men and of course by the State. The extreme oppression of femininity, heretics, those who deviate from official doctrine is the daily life of those from below in this corner of the world. It is precisely in this context that the horrific murder of Masha took place.

One cannot help but be outraged and disgusted by the hypocritical condemnations of Western States and political parties, calling for more rights for women and condemning religious fanaticism. The same States that fostered fundamentalist movements as a counterbalance to the growing radical movements and struggles in the `60s and `70s across the Middle East. The same ones that in their territories breed the whole world of patriarchy, carry out genocide and State murder of those who are left over or resist, the same ones that are waging and preparing to wage bloody wars for the interests of their masters and their power. The same States that have repeatedly bloodied the Middle East and plundered the “third world” so that the people uprooted by this Religious Fundamentalism and wars drowned in the Mediterranean, were trapped in fences, left to die by the thousands out of indifference.
