Taking responsibility for an arson attack on a bank by Conspiracy to Increase Entropy
In the early hours of Friday, August 23, we visited the Piraeus Bank branch on Gr. Rakintzi Street in the centre of Serres and doused its facade and the nearby ATM with gasoline.

The action had little success since we did not manage to completely destroy the ATM as we originally planned. We’ll make sure it’s not like that next time.
We are in a situation which leaves us with nothing to do nothing but attack head-on and destroy. We seek no moral justification from the masses to act violently. Political tactics which aim at the gradual building of a mass anarchist movement with social characteristics to finally reach the revolution, permanently postponing the attack to an indefinite future, leave us extremely disappointed. We believe that counter-proposals and theories about how a better society could be are extremely secondary in front of the total destruction of the existing one.

Besides, we believe that guerrilla (without characterizing this specific action as such) works ideally in conjunction with a mass militant anarchist movement. The struggle will always be diverse. Arson, bombings and executions are not enough.
