Yet another “anarcho-transportation” action took place on Tuesday. These actions, aiming at permanently disrupting the circle of “production-circulation-consumption” have been a huge sucess. Today, when people showed up at the Victoria Station of the Athens metro, passengers were largely receptive to our slogans (“the self-organising of the passengers will mean the end of the ticket inspectors”). The vending machines were glued; all cctv in the station was blocked off.
The riot police headquarters in Zografou, Athens were attacked earlier today, with one riot police van and a few cars burnt.
Indymedia reports that the state-run TV station NET was occupied for a few minutes: Students were shown holding a banner reading “STOP WATCHING – EVERYONE TO THE STREETS!”
Planed for today: a meeting of the residents of Eksarhia outside the local police station, demanding that the cops leave the neighbourhood. Meetings &anti-police demonstrations in the neighbourhods of Brahami, Sepolia, Petralona, Nea Ionia and Dafni.
“The State murders. Your silence arms them. Occupations in all public buildings, now. Occupation of the Town Hall of Agios Dimitrios”

Perfect timing!!While Karamanlis was saying that they (his party) are not going to allow for political methodisations that want to penalise the country’s political life..The protestors managed to get in in small groups by fooling the security people and make them believe that they’re visitors or hosts! Good work!

Video from Anarchists Blockade of the Greek Embassy in London – http://current.com/items/89623558/anarchists_blockade_london_greek_embassy.htm
To the anarchists in Greece:
Whoever is blinding the police with lasers needs to be stopped. They also need to be removed from the anarchist movement. What if the police decide to attack with lasers in the future? Then what? Put some thought into where this is going. Lasers can cause permanent blindness. Any kind of laser can cause permanent eye damage. Vision is a right not a privilege. People are often judged not by how they treat their friends but by how they treat their enemies. I have no problem with property destruction but I am against hurting people in the name of anarchism. Riots can be an effective tactic when fighting repression but serious injuries need to be avoided during the riot. Now that the Greek anarchist movement has attained a significant level of power it is time for that power to be used carefully in a way that gaurantees the basic rights of everyone within Greece not just anarchists. If you blind, maim and kill your way into power then you are creating a repressive regime that will use brutality to stay in power for decades to come. This repressive regime even an “anarchist” regime, will have to use prisons, police and soldiers to stay in power. In Greece during the year 2040 there might be people rioting against the repressive “anarchist” regime that came to power in 2009 so be careful and dont create another violent regime. The Russian Revolution of 1917 was carried out in the name of communism. It was a revolution fought in the name of the highest ideals. The result of the Russian revolution was supposed to be a communist utopia where the state would cease to exist. This is very similar to the stateless utopia that the anarchists in Greece are promising after the revolution. The revolutionaries in Russia used a lot of violence to overthrow the old tsarist regime and put themselves in power. The Russian communists, in order to stay in power, this is the key point that must be learned, created a repressive regime that used prisons, police and soldiers to stay in power for 75 years. The lessons of the 1917 Russian Revolution must be learned by 21st century anarchists. What happened in Russia during the 20th century must not repeat itself in Greece during the 21st century. Revolutions are not supposed to be civil wars. There is a big difference between the two. No one should have to die for the revolution. Nothing is worth dying for. A guerilla warrior spends all their time fighting. They have no free time. No time for love, happiness, art, music, relaxation. Also a guerilla warrior cannot become a spiritual person because they are always killing other people and trying to impose their will on them. Civil wars are almost impossible to stop once they get going. The massive amount of violence gains a momentum of its own that is propelled into the future by a desire for revenge. So be careful how you treat your enemies especially if you are a 20 year-old revolutionary who has many years left to live. Causing one of your enemies to become permanently blind will certainly increase the amount of hatred your enemies have for you. Such hatred only raises the possibility of a long, bloody civil war. What happens in Greece will have global repercussions not only for the anarchist movement but for the world in general. The term revolutionary war is an oxymoron. Choose revolution instead of war. There are at least ten wars already going on in the world. Another war will just add to the cycle of violence and repression that dominates our world. I wrote you this as a friend. The means are the end.
Για την αναρχικοί στην Ελλάδα:
Όποιος είναι τύφλωση, η αστυνομία με λέιζερ θα πρέπει να σταματήσει. Επίσης, πρέπει να διαγραφούν από το αναρχικό κίνημα. Κι αν η αστυνομία αποφασίζει να επιτεθεί με λέιζερ στο μέλλον; Τότε τι; Βάλε λίγη σκέψη στην περίπτωση που αυτό πρόκειται. Λέιζερ μπορεί να προκαλέσει μόνιμη τύφλωση. Οποιοδήποτε είδος λέιζερ μπορεί να προκαλέσει μόνιμη βλάβη στα μάτια. Όραμα είναι ένα δικαίωμα που δεν αποτελεί προνόμιο. Οι άνθρωποι συχνά δεν κρίνεται από το πώς μεταχειρίζονται τους φίλους τους, αλλά από τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίζει τους εχθρούς. Δεν έχω πρόβλημα με την ιδιοκτησία της καταστροφής, αλλά είμαι κατά πλήττει τους ανθρώπους στο όνομα του αναρχισμός. Οι ταραχές μπορεί να είναι μια αποτελεσματική τακτική, όταν αγωνίζονται καταστολή σοβαρών τραυματισμών, αλλά πρέπει να αποφεύγεται κατά τη διάρκεια των ταραχών. Τώρα που το ελληνικό αναρχικό κίνημα έχει επιτευχθεί σε σημαντικό επίπεδο της εξουσίας είναι καιρός για την εξουσία αυτή που πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούνται προσεκτικά με τρόπο που να διασφαλίζει τα βασικά δικαιώματα του καθενός στην Ελλάδα δεν αφορά μόνο αναρχικοί. Αν τυφλή, σκοτώνουν και ακρωτηριάζουν το δρόμο σας στην εξουσία, τότε δημιουργώντας ένα καταπιεστικό καθεστώς που θα χρησιμοποιήσει κτηνωδία να παραμείνει στην εξουσία για τις επόμενες δεκαετίες. Αυτό το καταπιεστικό καθεστώς, μάλιστα, σε μια “αναρχική” καθεστώς, θα πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούν τις φυλακές, η αστυνομία και οι στρατιώτες για να παραμείνει στην εξουσία. Στην Ελλάδα κατά τη διάρκεια του έτους 2040 ενδέχεται να υπάρχουν άνθρωποι η εξέγερση εναντίον των κατασταλτικών “αναρχικός” καθεστώς που ανέλαβε την εξουσία το 2009, οπότε να είστε προσεκτικοί και DONT δημιουργήσει ένα άλλο βίαιο καθεστώς. Η Ρωσική Επανάσταση του 1917 πραγματοποιήθηκε στο όνομα του κομμουνισμού. Ήταν μια επανάσταση πολέμησαν στο όνομα από τα υψηλότερα ιδανικά. Το αποτέλεσμα της Ρωσικής επανάστασης έπρεπε να είναι μια κομμουνιστική ουτοπία όπου το κράτος θα πάψει να υπάρχει. Αυτό μοιάζει πολύ με την ουτοπία τους ότι οι αναρχικοί στην Ελλάδα είναι ελπιδοφόρα μετά την επανάσταση. Οι επαναστάτες στην Ρωσία χρησιμοποιείται πολλή βία για την ανατροπή του παλαιού καθεστώτος και να τεθούν σε ισχύ. Η ρωσική κομμουνιστές, προκειμένου να παραμείνει στην εξουσία, αυτό είναι το βασικό σημείο που πρέπει να μάθει, δημιούργησε ένα καταπιεστικό καθεστώς που χρησιμοποιούνται φυλακές, η αστυνομία και οι στρατιώτες για να παραμείνει στην εξουσία για 75 χρόνια. Τα μαθήματα της Ρωσικής Επανάστασης του 1917 πρέπει να μάθει από τον 21ο αιώνα αναρχικοί. Τι συνέβη στη Ρωσία κατά τη διάρκεια του 20ου αιώνα δεν πρέπει να επαναληφθεί στην Ελλάδα κατά τον 21ο αιώνα. Επαναστάσεις δεν υποτίθεται ότι οι εμφύλιοι πόλεμοι. Υπάρχει μεγάλη διαφορά μεταξύ των δύο. Κανείς δεν θα πρέπει να πεθάνουν για την επανάσταση. Τίποτα δεν αξίζει να πεθάνει για. Ένας πολεμιστής ανταρτοπόλεμο δαπανά το χρόνο τους αγωνίζονται όλα. Δεν έχουν ελεύθερο χρόνο. Δεν έχουμε χρόνο για την αγάπη, την ευτυχία, την τέχνη, τη μουσική, χαλάρωση. Επίσης, ένας κλεφτοπόλεμος πολεμιστής δεν μπορεί να γίνει ένα πνευματικό πρόσωπο επειδή είναι πάντα σκοτώνοντας άλλους ανθρώπους και προσπαθούν να επιβάλλουν τη βούλησή τους σε αυτές. Εμφύλιοι πόλεμοι είναι σχεδόν αδύνατο να σταματήσει όταν θα προχωρήσουμε. Το τεράστιο ποσό των βία αποκτά τη δική της δυναμική που προωθείται στο μέλλον από την επιθυμία για εκδίκηση. Έτσι πρέπει να είστε προσεκτικοί πώς αντιμετωπίζει τους εχθρούς σου, ιδίως αν είστε 20 ετών που επαναστατική αριστερά έχει πολλά χρόνια να ζήσει. Προκαλεί έναν από τους εχθρούς σου για να γίνουν μόνιμα τυφλά σίγουρα θα αυξηθεί το ποσό του μίσους τους εχθρούς σου έχουν για σας. Τέτοιου είδους μίσος μόνο δημιουργεί την πιθανότητα μιας μακράς, αιματηρό εμφύλιο πόλεμο. Τι συμβαίνει στην Ελλάδα θα έχει παγκόσμιες επιπτώσεις, όχι μόνο για το αναρχικό κίνημα, αλλά και για τον κόσμο γενικότερα. Ο όρος επαναστατικό πόλεμο είναι οξύμωρο σχήμα. Επιλέξτε επανάσταση αντί για πόλεμο. Υπάρχουν τουλάχιστον δέκα πολέμους ήδη σε εξέλιξη στον κόσμο. Ένας άλλος πόλεμος θα προσθέσω, απλώς, να τον κύκλο της βίας και της καταστολής που κυριαρχεί στον κόσμο μας. Έγραψα αυτό σας ως φίλος. Τα μέσα είναι το τέλος.
It all seems a little engrossing treatment just for condemning the use of a ray pointer.
You probably mean well, but I don’t know where all the fuzz is about, now really.
It’s sounds from the precedents you bring to bear that what you are implying is that what happens now in Greece may escalate into a prolonged armed conflict possibly involving the army. Which is considering Greece’s history, reasonably improbable. Remember the Junta in 73, fell through civil unarmed uprising only, which effectively polarized the regime whereupon it’s powers gradually disintegrated and subsequently were taken over by democratic processes. Once again calling in the armed forces into the streets of the Greek capital, will so on not be a wise plan to proceed on from the standpoint of the Karamanlis administration. For whatever popular support they may still enjoy amongst the general Greek population, will assuredly instantly fade away, on such a display of “force”, when the going get’s tough. Unless of course, they are up to elevating from a concealed state of despotism to an open kind dictatorship. Which in European terms will plainly be unacceptable at this point in time. So on, ultimately, with the right of amount of pressure & persistence, their fall is impending, which if the Greek people play their cards right may be the historical dividend to their benefit of the civil upheaval.
Howsoever, the bad cop, good cop, political scuffling that then ensues, to summon calm upon the electorate and sedate their anguish with a predictable transition to a most likely new friendlier socialistic Papandreou government, heralds for the hardcore anarchist merely a pragmatic change of dynamics. The battle continues in another mode, on other fronts, maybe with other available means, yet by any means necessary, always exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses, taking advantage of their calculable reflexes, turning their prejudices & pretenses against them, in order to accommodate the objective of total disbandment of all large scale organizations. This prestigious end implicitly differentiates itself from any of the previously fought revolutions, it is not out reinstate, a new social coherence, certain moral values, or a plan for dividing up human prosperity.
As for the potential to do serious damage with a laser tracer. You have to take in account, that it’s not uncommon in such street clashes as we see them now in Athens, for people to lose an eye, or be permanently disabled somehow. God knows even the severity of the injuries from the atrocities committed by the pigs, on the streets, or in police stations, systematically beating up the protesters, let alone the effect of hurled stones, and shot teargas capsules that can indiscriminately hit anyone and potentially kill them
No offence meant friend, but you’ll have to let go of those latent tendencies to corner life in controlling formalisms, legislation, regulations etc, if you are a deep down a true anarchist as you claim. Keep in mind that the only anarchistic rule is that there is no rule and so trying to reach agreement over making up a rule up that denounces the use of laser rays, is just unideological. Not to mention impractical, counterproductive, & irrelevant.
So really, it doesn’t make much sense to me.
Johnny B4 the Road:
I agree on the point of the laser pointers, but I think you’ve got a very different understanding of anarchism from me.
I don’t think anarchism means ‘no rules’ and ‘no large-scale organization’ (if the organization can be achieved without hierarchy, which is entirely possible and has precedents modern and ancient). It means no rulers, no bosses, no politicians…
So, while I agree with you that laser pointers are sort of a ridiculous thing to condemn at this point, after pitched street battles involving rocks, teargas, batons, molotovs, etc… I disagree with you on the point that we should not attempt to make ethical arguments towards other anarchists and the anarchist movement. If anarchists took on the tactics of groups/governments that, say, set off bombs in crowded squares or carpet-bombed cities, I’d certainly argue against it.
I kinda agree with both , “jhonny b4 the road” and coyote. ethical argument isnt the same then rules enforced by coercitive means. and agreement is always something you can -and sometimes you should trie to- achieve on certain levels.
just wondering… i know is unlikely that the conflict escalate becoming an armed one.
but, if , for any reason , theres a need of armed struggle (i dont think is impossible either, and i dont think this is about the Karamanlis administration itself). theres some kind of readiness in any sector ? weapons ? basic training ? ….just wondering…
We are with you.

Augusta, Georgia: Riots Erupt After Cops Kill 23 year old
Police StateRichmond County Sheriffs shot and killed 23 year old Justin Elmore on Monday in the Cherry Tree Crossing Housing Projects. The Cops, claiming that Justin had stolen the SUV, surrounded him and opened fire. Bullets flew everywhere. Local apartments had windows shot out and a little boy was almost shot in the Head. On Tuesday, the community held a vigil in response to the shooting. After an occupying force of 90 police descended on the neighborhood the people fought back. Locals threw rocks and bottles at both the Police and the Corporate Media. People also set fires to dumpsters and at least one car. Corporate media reports at least 30 shots had been fired during the riot.

Militant resistance to police violence is not confined to the arbitrary borders that make up Greece. Oppressed people’s in the US fight the police on a daily basis. Lets keep Augusta, and all of the other cases of atrocities committed by police in the US in mind when we act in Solidarity on Saturday the 20th. Fighting for Greece means fighting for all of us!

Resistance is worldwide, we need to act no matter where we are and under which conditions!
Coyote, I suppose in every conflict there’s a self working ethical equilibrium that determines the dynamics of engagement. Of course I don’t condone, asymmetric violence and as a matter of fact I think it is praiseworthy the way the Greeks have taken this outburst of uncontrolled violence and are now by more peaceful initiatives, channeling into a nationally snowballing discontent towards the Karamanlis government. I only thought the comment on the ray tracer wasn’t arguable in the context of riots on this scale, on which we seem to agree.
Also in every ideology are in inseparable differences, maybe I am too much of a fundamentalist, it’s just that I believe, any system can then only optimally function, if comprehensively applied. To that regard I deem anarchy itself as a system that ought not to be compromised. After all anarchy is Greek, meaning “without ruler”, ergo that it’s most optima forma is executed without any coercive guidance.
We as humans have by means of our rational thinking and ways of organizing compromised the system of nature. We have adapted policies to act in certain polite ways, have adopted certain moral standards, and so forth. But the laws of life itself are raw, bloody & indiscriminate. Uncompassionate opposed to compassionate. It’s protocol is that of randomness instead of regularity. Now it’s program may look unappealing from the human perspective. Still our collective behavior all throughout man’s ascendance and even until today, has not shown to be very different. Insofar that the defining set of rules that ordain the mundane civil life, have so far only commodiously accommodated a select few predators amongst mankind, granting them a sure & steady overabundant banquet from which left overs, humanity’s hyenas & vultures then feast, until we the mice & rats can ultimately scrape the carcass clean.
The guy put it so eloquently in the previous article;
“we can only cachinnate: their rule, the rule of gentle spirits and consent, of dialogue and harmony is nothing but a well calculated pleasure in beastliness: a promised carnage.”
For many people now this prospective of basically abandoning everything that has been safe, good & proper, ever since recorded history, is a preposterous, nonsensical & dreadful adventure. Yet it’s gruesome appearance is distorted by the fear for the unknown, the uncertainty of being able to cope in world in which much of today’s certainties are invalidated. What hides behind this awful mask though, that our angst projects, is pure freedom, uncontainable life as it was intended, as it has worked since day one, as it was born, as is it’s destiny.
Some call it anarchy. Then again some also consider the almighty dollar god.
I guess it depends from where you see the thing, but I prefer to refer to it as the original order of things. The way things were meant to be.
“They also need to be removed from the anarchist movement” and ” Nothing is worth dying for”
lol this says it all about how revolutionary you are…
Johnny, I suppose my anarchy is something that we build together as a way of living that counteracts hierarchy, rather than the system of ‘nature’, which may or may not involve hierarchy, domination, violence… I see that as a tyranny of structurelessness, where by removing all formal organization we open the door for domination by whoever is strongest or most violent… government by the most brutish. Not a situation I’d like to be in, and for me, quite the opposite of anarchy.
Coyote thanks for the response. That we had a dissimilar view on anarchy was evident.
I only felt like expounding my radical theory for sakes of sharing ideas. Nothing wrong with exchanging perspectives now is there? Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. Neither do I want to impose mine on anybody.
Though I feel compelled to point out that the version predicting that the implementation of such a drastic anarchistic reform as I propose, would inexorably lead to a renaissance of the stone ages, in effect reinstating the rule of the jungle, – that as you rightly remarked has in fact it’s own hierarchic make up, – is a completely hypothetical inference. I could argue that the typical anarchist, like many religions, believes deep down in the goodness of man and generally possesses enough common decency to respect the autonomy of every individual. Thus rightly effectuated, if say in an ideal world where everybody was a hard core anarchist, the system would theoretically work without much degradation to the overall social stability. As academical naturally as the version of a regressive evolution back in time, still.
People tend in that regard to rashly underestimate the evolutionary matureness by which the collective human consciousness, that is incessantly pressuring the forces of conservatism on many fronts, has in our age & time already progressed far beyond the conventional, religious, governmental, commercial & economic systems, that have invariably been in place for centuries. This accumulates then so forth to the revolution of our times. Insomuch that all throughout history the progress of mankind has shown a persistent trend to pursue freedom. In a slow pace and with many setbacks certainly, yet what matters is that man’s journey is on a noticeable trajectory towards an absolute free society. Our contemporary revolt could be considered as a paradigmatic affirmation in praxis to that premise.
Once completed I imagine the matured human being to have arrived in a state of mind weary of the indignities of war, oppression, exploitation etc. and be equipped with enough mental capacity & moral fiber & willpower, to resist against the vices that are inextricably attached to the gift of conscious thinking.
The revolution entails therefore also a spiritual aspect, as is the entire human evolution, a learning process to deal with the experiment that is end-all life itself. Which btw isn’t without structure, but is on itself a highly advanced form of technology, build on mathematic principals, which science has only in modern (post Darwin) times began to understand & recognize. Which is another complicating matter, in this entire discussion. Finally everything interlocks, all our practical, existential, philosophical, ideological, social & religious, tracks converse in such a discourse which you can gather is extensive. Nonetheless I hope that this suffices for at least provoking your thoughts with some material to ruminate on and give you a read as to where my kind of anarchy is coming from.
“We have before us the opportunity to forge for our ourselves & for future generations a New World Order, a world in which the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle governs the conduct of nations.” GEORGE BUSH (senior).
It’s either one or the other, cause freedom & subjugation only equates like alive or death in absolute terms there’s no in between.
Johnny, thanks for your response. Rereading, I don’t like the tone of my previous comment; it comes off as an ‘I’m right, you’re wrong’ kind of thing, which is not where I’m coming from.
Given that, thanks for your level-headed and informative response. I think I understand where you’re coming from.
Of course, as for the situation in Greece, I think the facts on the ground will guide the progress of whatever comes out of this, and all the theory in the world will be so much empty text next to whatever beautiful worlds might be made…
your welcome, the pleasure was all mine.
SATURDAY 20/12
GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST STATE TERRORISM
Two weeks after the state murder of comrade Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the social and class counter-attack continues.
University facilities and public buildings remain occupied, whilst mobilisations, demonstrations and confrontations with the uniformed guardians of order continue to take place on the streets, throughout Greece, on a daily basis.
Up until Wednesday 17 December, 16 of those arrested during the rebellious events of December have been imprisoned facing grave charges and 4 of them are persecuted according the “anti”terrorist law. Hundreds of people have been arrested all over the country. In Athens alone 184 people have been arrested, whilst more than 30 immigrants are being detained.
The events that took place following the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos started a wave of worldwide mobilisations in his memory and in solidarity with those rebels fighting in the streets against democratic totalitarianism. Gatherings, marches, symbolic attacks on Greek consulates, as well as confrontations with the police, have taken place in cities across Cyprus, Germany, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Belgium, the United States of America, Turkey, Ireland, Switzerland, Croatia, Australia, Russia, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Poland, Argentina, Chile, Canada, Uruguay, Austria, New Zealand, Portugal, South Korea, Basque Country and elsewhere.
We continue the occupation of the Athens Polytechnic School that started on the evening of December 6th, creating a space for everyone involved in the struggle and providing a steady point of resistance within the city of Athens.
Following a collective decision of the occupied Polytechnic’s general assembly on Saturday 13/12, we called for global actions against state terrorism on Saturday 20/12. Because we do not forget and we do not forgive. Because the use of murderous violence by the state and bosses against those that struggle is not a localized phenomenon but rather a universal suffocating reality. Because zero tolerance and repressive terrorism, wage slavery, poverty and social exclusion, exploitation, oppression and social control are not constrained by borders – but neither is the struggle for freedom.
The rebellion that lit up this miserable world with its flames, continues!
Immediate release of all who are being detained by the police.
Solidarity with everyone facing persecution.
Solidarity with everyone around the world who uses any means to spread the message of rebellion!
Gathering at the site of Alexis Grigoropoulos’ murder.
Saturday 20/12, 9pm.
