Uprisings Today

Once again, the “Brave New World” of our oppressors is turning to ashes before their very eyes. France, Indonesia, Nepal. Images full of rage. The demolition of a “castle” that they try to convince us will never fall.

Antiviolence: The response of the social base against Authority.

From France to Indonesia and Nepal, the social base is rebelling against miserable living conditions, daily violence from the bosses (both left and right), and the cops. The state and capital are being targeted. In Nepal, the Parliament was set on fire. The Vice President and Minister of Finance, Bharat Paudel, is facing the people’s wrath. A world that robs people every day in order to enrich itself and impose its domination. People block the ring road around Paris, the busiest urban highway in Europe, and railway stations and clash with the cops. Shortly before, violent protests erupt in California against the mass abduction and deportation of immigrants. Continue reading (Athens,Greece) Uprisings Today :

Claim of responsibility for arson attacks in memory of anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris

“If I don’t burn
if you don’t burn
if we don’t burn
how will darkness become light?”
Nazim Hikmet

365 days ago, our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris gave light to the darkness, even if it was the light of his final explosion, at the end of a burning path.

Kyriakos was a resourceful and active anarchist fighter who participated in the entire spectrum of the struggle. From marches, interventions, microphone demos to clashes with the forces of repression. He was present on all the fronts and areas of the struggle. He participated in solidarity assemblies for imprisoned fighters, in anti-fascist coordinations, in actions in favour of occupations, in solidarity with immigrants, against war and imperialism, in solidarity with the struggles of the Palestinians, in struggles against gentrification and patriarchy. And of course in direct revolutionary action and the armed choice.

Friday, October 31, 2025, downtown Athens. Footage from the memorial march for the anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris, who lost his life on October 31, 2024, after an explosion in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ampelokipi, the moment of the generalized attack by the riot police with the aim of breaking up the march when it entered Benaki, and the crescendo of violence by the riot police in response, when an hour after the violent break-up of the march for Kyriakos Xymitiris, they surrounded Exarchia, ran into the pedestrian street of Messolongiou and Kolettis corner beating and arresting people sitting in the cafes and bars of the area, throwing firebombs feeling  the neighborhood with chemicals teargas…

All who are lost in the fires of the struggle never die

Every October is black, every thought we have is black, every action we take is black. Since October 31, 2024, our hearts have been frozen upon hearing the news of the death of our anarchist comrade and guerilla Kyriakos Xymitiris. In an apartment on Arkadias Street, in Ambelokipi area, the comrade was killed while working on an explosive device and his anarchist comrade Marianna M. was seriously injured.

What happened next is pretty well known when it comes to the state’s witch hunts against anarchists. After comrade Marianna
was taken to Evanggelismos Hospital, all kinds of tactics and torture were used by the cops and the investigating authorities.
Subsequently, anarchist comrade Dimitra Z. and comrade Dimitris are arrested on insufficient evidence. A few days later, anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K. are also arrested. In fact, the only incriminating evidence against the latter two is a fingerprint on a bag, which is a classic tactic used by the EL.AS.(Greek police)  to fabricate charges, since a fingerprint on a mobile object is not reliable evidence.

Taking responsibility for the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food 11/10/25 in Athens. (Greece)

About the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food 

EU agricultural subsidies as a tool of capitalist restructuring.
Like every ministry, the Ministry of Rural Development is a mechanism of class domination. Class domination for Greek capitalism in the sector of primary production practically means:

-Privatization of the largest and most fertile part of the agricultural land – and securing through it enormous profits – by a tiny minority of modern landowners closely linked to domestic and international agribusiness monopolies. It is indicative that today 90% of all agricultural land belongs to just 15% of wealthy rich large farmers.

• Eradication of the poor peasantry (from 900,000 in 2005 to 500,000 in 2025) and continuous pressure on their already meager income, through the sharp increase in production costs, the increase in insurance contributions and taxation, the humiliating selling prices of products to wholesalers, the drastic reduction in expenses for compensation for floods, fires, diseases, the suffocation from predatory lending by banks.

Palestine: Kyriakos Xymitiris present!

Claim of responsibility for arson attack on a riot cop house (Athens,Greece)

Responding to the call of comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta for an October of diverse actions in honour of comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, in the early hours of Thursday 16/10 we attacked the home of a riot police officer at 1 Georgiou Papandreou Street in Zografou with fire. We chose to honour the anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris because he was a comrade who participated in diverse actions in the anarchist movement and remained faithful to his ideas until the end.

We believe that such actions continue the legacy of these struggles in which the comrade participated.

Also, this target was chosen because of the attack by the cops on demonstrators on 7/10 during the solidarity march for Palestine and the attack by the cops on 3/10 on people in coffee bars and shops in Kolettis Street and more broadly in the Exarchia neighbourhood.

Goodbye Christaras (Athens,exarxeia Greece)

Goodbye Christaras

Every night passes like a movie where everything we’ve experienced is projected against the backdrop of the square. Every night that passes here I always leave before we’re left alone, I don’t watch the end.

Tuesday, October 7, some more sad news, another day that leaves us frozen, our comrade, our Christaras, our XR, our eternal street fighter, has gone forever.

Comrade Christos Spilios, a native of the metropolitan youth and the rising anarchist movement, found himself on the just side of the barricade since 1990. He participated continuously and with all his being in every form of struggle, from solidarity with political prisoners, almost always Christaras started ”the passion” as in how many photographic snapshots of chained comrades do we remember his fist accompanying their smile. From militant and street anti-fascism, from the struggles for his beloved Exarchia, to the anti-war mobilizations; in the last two years the Palestinian keffiyeh had become an integral part of his body.
