(en) Greece, Libertarian Initiative of Thessaloniki - For
total denier military Thanos Chatziangelou (gr) [machine translation]
On 15/07/14, Comrade Th. Chatziangelou arrested by hooded counterterrorism. The reason was
none other than the selection itself does not wear the uniform of a soldier, refuse the
"obvious": the belief in "national ideals" and allegiance to the state and military
hierarchy. The real reason however is the ongoing targeting by the authorities because of
the action as anarchist social agonist. ---- On 06/17/15, Th. Chatziangelou trial at court
martial of Rouf Athens, as total denier conscription as insubordinate. This is the price
for the decision of each agonist to directly indicate the militarist that he would not
raise his weapon against any proletarian, regardless of nationality and religion. This
decision is troubling every state apparatus in the world, and denies the very existence:
the clustering of "the people" on the basis of a national idea that promises class peace.
Against this ideology that all it does is to serve the interests of capital we answer that
there are Greeks and foreigners. There are only proletarians, that melt below the gears
ochtaorou as melt under the wheels of tanks, until you stand up and smash the world of our
bosses. Not particularly care about the military power if he loses a soldier from the
ranks of: what does not tolerate is challenging the very existence as enforcement
mechanism, as the right hand of the state and capital.
Not one time did not nourish illusions that ANEL-SYRIZA government would abolish
conscription. Not one time we did not believe that the Greek army and the Police They will
democratize. Not surprised either when united political leadership welcomed the military
parade of 25 March, when united applauded the fasistaria of LCDs to ask spilled plenty of
Albanian and Turkish blood, while handing out plastic flags to workers who flocked to
watch the spectacle. Left, right, centrist, each government staffed the state machine and
with it all institutions expansion and sovereignty at home and abroad, among them the
armed forces.
In this context the trial of TH. Chatziangelou not just a legal question of a single man
with the armed forces, but an entirely political issue, which goes beyond any nuances of
individual governments and is part of the struggle of our class with the deep State and
rotten institutions that embody.
We express our full solidarity in Gd. Chatziangelou and all deniers of engagement are
targeted judicial, military and state institutions. Their struggle is the whole struggle
of our class.
