“The true defeat is not that you have lost.
The true defeat is having made yours the idea of defeat.
That you cannot win and change things”
The comrade Kyriakos was one of us. He was one of those who believe there is a deep dividing line between the bourgeois justice of the powerful and true justice. The justice of those whose children were killed at Tempi by the state – murderer. The justice of those who participated in militant strikes. Of those who expropriate the accumulated wealth from the bank safes. Of those who turned the knife on their rapists and abusers. The justice of the tiger that hunts its hunter. The justice of the fast-flowing current that breaks through the dam. Of those armed indigenous peoples who took vengeance on their conquerors. Those who bombed their settlers. The justice of those who burnt down the modern concentration camps. Those who escaped from prison for a breath of freedom. Those who doubted the state monopoly on violence. Those who struggled with every means. The justice of those who refused selfishness. Those who thought of us and not me. Those who, during the course of history, took positions of battle next to the oppressed. As the comrade Kyriakos did.
A comrade that chose the path of revolutionary responsibility. That was consistent with his self. Participating indiscriminately in all fields of struggle. A child of 2008 and the December insurrection, the burning barricades, the enraged consciousnesses, the vows for vengenace in teenage conversations. And then a protester of ’11 and ’12, the era of austerity, of the IMF and the Troika, the revolts and clashes, the day-long demonstrations and the hand-to-hand battles. From there, an anarchist in the Berlin of gentrification and social isolation, of the militant defence of squats and the solidarity with persecuted fighters, with busy hands, full nights and an open heart. Returning to Athens now, a decided militant of the anarchist movement. Participating indiscriminately in all fields of struggle. An anarchist of the squats, of antifascist and feminist patrols, of antiracist struggles and strike mobilisations, of struggles against prison and touristification. He stood firmly within the convictions of the anarchist struggle, with immense camaraderie, with sensitivity, solidarity and perceptiveness.
