Athens, Greece: Claim for attack on “AB Vasilopoulos” supermarkets

Athens: Claim for attack on “AB Vasilopoulos” supermarkets

In the autumn of 2023, a new labour law of A. Georgiadis was passed. Among other things the law includes : thirteen-hour contracts, zero-hour contracts, the complete abolition of the five-day working week, the illegalization of strikes, as well as the complete liberalization of dismissals, withdrawing any justification for them.

“AB Vassilopoulos” took advantage of the above by firing hundreds of employees the day after the law was passed. Thus, it is clear whose interests these laws really serve.

Athens, Greece : Expropriation of Sklavenitis supermarket in Upper Ilisia area.

Athens : Expropriation of Sklavenitis supermarket in Upper Ilisia

On 16/12/2023 we went shopping in Ano Ilisia at the Sklavenitis supermarket, only our “shopping” was different this time as it had a 100% discount. How is this done, you ask? It’s very simple. We got organized, entered the supermarket, took what we needed and left without letting them steal from us one more time. You see it’s a matter of choice.

In this “celebratory” climate, where the public discourse is flooded with calls for help for the needy, we have chosen to show our solidarity by grabbing necessities from those who steal from us every day and share them with solidarity structures that support the most impoverished parts of society. We decided not to offer this solidarity from our non-existent reserve but by taking back from those who always gain on our backs.

Athens, (Exarxeia) Greece :Taking responsibility for the actions against gentrification and displacement By Anarchists

Athens, Exarxeia area:Taking responsibility against gentrification and displacement  by Anarchists

The gentrification of the neighbourhood of Exarchia continues at a rapid pace. Our rents are going up, Airbnbs are springing up everywhere, Cyrille-hipster shops are opening one after the other and groups of tourists are socializing with the cops continuing to pollute our neighbourhood with their presence.

At the same time, the control and surveillance of the area with dozens of cameras reinforces the repressive apparatus of state and capital which, together with the cops, are attempting to sweep and destroy  of resistance, self-organization, occupations, the Exarcheia of rebellion. Latest attack: on the trees of the square, one of the few green spots in the neighbourhood.

Athens,Greece: ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANTI-FASCIST BARAGE-CALL TO CALL-ANTI-FASCIST FIRE

Athens ,We claim responsibility for the following attacks on fascist targets:

i) In the early hours of 11/17, we placed an incendiary device in the house of the former member of the Hellenic Solution, Anastasia Aikaterini Alexopoulou, in Zografou. The Hellenic Solution is a far-right party that sought to replace Golden Dawn in Parliament, and has been there since 2019. Velopoulos’s party went to the elections promoting the whole extreme agenda and mainly fences and machine guns on the borders. Now these costumed fascists have ended up a funny opposition that turns its back on the government to pay off its debts. (After the act we have been informed that this particular piece of trash has moved from the house that was recently targeted, such an operational error will not be repeated)

ii) In the early hours of 11/17, we also placed an incendiary device in the house of the fascist of the neighbourhood of Zografou, Vassilis Barletis. After using information, Barletis, a well-known fascist in the area, was added to the itinerary and we decided to leave him a gift from us in his view.

Alfredo M. Bonanno :July 1999 in Athens: i am here in this courtroom alongside my comrade Nikos Maziotis.

July 1999 Athens

Gentlemen,

I am here in this courtroom alongside my comrade Nikos Maziotis. Both irreducible enemies of the State, both anarchists.

Looking around the world today, the State order dominates almost everywhere and its order is that of death and destruction. The recent events of the war in Serbia and Kosovo testify to this perfectly. Whatever the State does, even when it tries to hide behind a humanitarian façade, it results in death and destruction.

But the State is not an abstraction, it is not an empty word, but a very concrete thing. The State is constituted of men and things, by capital that realizes exploitation, which keeps millions of people under its control in order to secure profits on investment, an immense administrative and military apparatus that governs, manages and kills on a daily basis.

Greece: The 2024 Agenda of the Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Fighters has been released

The 2024 Agenda of the Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Fighters has been released

We have chosen to focus on the four years following 2008, judging that they present a qualitatively coherent structure in terms of a new cycle of political developments, of which 2009 was an explosive prelude. The four-year period 2009-2012 unfolds in the wake of the largest violent social explosion during the post-colonial period, on the occasion of the murder of the anarchist student, Alexandros Grigoropoulos, in December 2008 and while the country had already begun to sink into the first eddies of the global economic crisis that broke out in September 2008, with the collapse of the 4th largest US financial giant. These two peculiarities were to be a ticking time bomb for the already fragile climate of that time, causing social competition to explode to unprecedented levels through a veritable armageddon of developments.

Anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno has died on 6th December at the age of 86

You will always be alive with us through our action and our lives. “ACTION REPLACES TEARS”

Alfredo Maria Bonanno, born in 1937 in Catania, Sicily, is one of the most prolific contemporary anarchists, responsible for Anarchismo editions and other publishing ventures. In 1977 he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his book La Gioia Armata (Armed Joy). This book had been published at a historical moment when the Italian revolutionary movement was openly going on the offensive, while similar conditions existed in other European countries (Germany, Spain, England, Greece, Chile and more) and the question of violence was on the daily agenda. His contribution lies in a celebration of the pervasive class violence that liberates and satisfies the individual, but at the same time he sounds the alarm about the emergence of the armed party, which reduces the class conflict to a militaristic dimension, imposing the mediation of a small minority of armed men on the complexity of tens of thousands of people struggling by all means against the current reorganization of Capital, which at that moment seemed weak.

In the spirit of the book, all authentic liberating and destructive action comes from a logic of satisfaction in the struggle, not a self-sacrificing duty in accordance with the dictates of a micro-bureaucracy. The Italian Supreme Court ordered the destruction of the copies of the book that were in circulation, and sent a circular to public libraries to dispose of any copies they might have had.

Several librarians objected to this Nazi-inspired tactic. Its circulation was generally banned, and copies were confiscated from the homes of anarchist militants in the context of police raids on houses.

Shortly afterwards, the author was accused of being an “instigator” of the Azione Rivoluzionaria, an armed organisation of 1976-79, which operated on the basis of “affinity groups” throughout central Italy, mainly against newspapers and party offices, and similar “manipulative mechanisms of consensus-building”. In 1979 the organisation was practically dismantled with the arrest of 86 people and the arrest of Salvatore Cinieri and Gianfranco Faina. The first went on to die in prison in a scuffle with criminal inmates when he defended a prisoner suspected of submitting an escape plan, while the second was released to die of lung cancer after being diagnosed with a tumour while in custody.

15 years since night-time stopped. The promises we made then remain open. They show us all that has been lost and all that needs to be done now.

Athens, Greece: Fire to the ATTIKO METRO machinery! By Anarchists

Athens,Fire to the ATTIKO METRO machinery! (excerpt)

In the early hours of November 17th, we attacked and set fire to 3 ATTIKO METRO machines at the construction site of line 4 in the area of Kaisariani at the junction of Ethnikis Antistaseos and Filolaou streets.

Our action is the conceivable sequel of the slogan that we shouted so many times together with thousands of other demonstrators at the gatherings and demonstrations against the destruction of Exarchia square by the cooperation of the state-contractors-Attiko Metro-municipal authority. Mobilizations that have intensified recently, after the invasion of the machinery in the square with the aim of clearing the area of trees, bushes, etc.

Finally, we chose our incendiary attack to take place at a time and day (early morning on November 17, 2023) when, according to media reports, 5000 thousand policemen were patrolling the streets of Athens ahead of the mobilizations for the 50th anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising. Our arson attack took place within breathing distance between the Kaisariani police station and the headquarters of the YMET (special units of the Greek Police)in Oulof Palme avenue, proving that the city belongs to those who wish to destroy order and not to those who are paid to enforce it. Now and always.

DEVELOPMENT SABOTAGE, FIRE TO THEIR PROJECTS!
