[Athens, Greece] How state policy manifests itself behind a repressive operation




Update – Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for November 17 (rally), regarding the attack by the left-wing para-state on the Polytechnic (52 years since the Athens Polytechnic uprising of 1973 during the Greek military junta)
… people who have nothing to say
in positions of power just babble …
Now and forever rekindling
(song: “For now and forever”– Genia tou Chaous, 1989)
In our call to the oppressed, the rebels, and the people of the struggle, to join our anarchist/anti-authoritarian rally bloc for November 17, we wrote: “The invocation of the democratic polity by the state and its supporters, under whatever guise, left or right, is a deception for those at the bottom. Authoritarian violence and the attempt to displace subversive social struggles and their rebellious characteristics from the public sphere and collective consciousness are means of terrorizing and silencing subversive ideas and freedoms. […] Free Polytechnics here and now for all, everything and everyone, outside the shackles of party manipulation and deception”. And as history has shown, it was as if we were foreshadowing with this address what would follow on the first day of this year’s three-day Polytechnic “celebration”, with the repressive attack (and attempted displacement from the public historical space) on our assembled body in the courtyard of the National Technical University of Athens by the party army of ARAS (left anti-capitalist coalition).

Alfredo Cospito es un anarquista que cree, como lxs anarquistas, que no hay justicia que se deba reconocer ley en este mundo de condenadxs, plagado por la lógica de la dominación. Dispararle en la pierna a Adinolfi, uno de los principales ejecutivos nucleares de Italia, no solo inspiro bellos canticos anárquicos en Génova, que hasta el día de hoy le recuerdan al Estado que Alfredo es mucho más de lo que ellxs temen, de lo que Carlo Nordio busca eliminar: C’era Adinolfi accasciato là, Il nucleare non passerà. Con su traslado al régimen 41-bis en 2022 pretenden que sea su último respiro, porque Scripta Manent no bastó.
