HONOUR FOREVER TO COMRADE LAMBROS FOUNTAS
As long as there are states, war will break out,
as long as there is capitalism there will be bloodshed.
On 10/3/2010, our comrade Lambros Fountas was murdered by a guard of the state during the preparation of an action by Revolutionary Struggle and within the context of a struggle to prevent the imposition of anti-social measures to save the economic and political system of power from the crisis, to prevent the advance of the memorandum policies.
12 years after the death of our comrade, we have moved even further along the same destructive path that the system of capitalism and the state has set for humanity and the planet, passing from one catastrophic crisis to another.
Without the economic systemic crisis having been overcome, but lying dormant waiting for sparks to ignite it, the coronavirus pandemic has broken out, reminding us how close to the extinction of the human species capitalism and the destruction of nature that accompanies its development has brought us. And without the pandemic being over (who expects the threat of viruses to end?), a new global threat is emerging, that of war, which is a genuine child of capitalism and states. The fear of a nuclear war, a disaster for all humanity, has been awakened by the war in Ukraine, reminding us that as long as there are states, as long as there is competition for their domination and expansion, the danger of a world war will always be present.
12 years after the death of our comrade Lambros Fountas who fell in the struggle to prevent the disastrous memorandum policies in our country, our society, humanity as a whole is plunging from one catastrophic crisis to another. The system of capitalism and the state is bringing us closer and closer to the edge of the abyss. Our existence, the survival of us all hangs in the balance.
But Comrade Lambros Fountas will remain alive with the hope for another society. He will light the way for us to walk towards a society without murderous economic crises, without deadly pandemics, without poverty, misery, social and class divisions, without devastating wars and refugees. It will light the way for us to move towards a society of social solidarity, equality, freedom and peace.
