(en) Announcement of anarchist collectives of Thessaloniki
for political conjuncture (gr) [machine translation]
The masks fell. --- The ruling left has shown beyond any dispute, the authoritarian and
repressive face. --- The previous period, taking advantage of the movements sowed
illusions to oppressed for a solution through the delegation attempted to renew the social
legitimacy of the political staff and "democratic institutions" and attempted to involve
the exploited in the design of their presumed redemption through the messianism. ---
Today, however, has proved, once again, that there are no saviors. --- The case of the
referendum is the most striking example of that, nothing good can arise for the oppressed
through the electoral process, whatever form they have. ---- Whatever the election result,
the social quotient new attack will be recorded with a view to enlargement of
ftochopoiisis and the intensification of repression against the resistance which splashed
constantly. Whatever government if elected, anti-memorandum or not, will come to continue
the same disaster work, requiring the implementation of the 3rd left Memorandum, which
comes to finish what they left upright previous two memoranda, while laying the
foundations for the perpetuation emergency regime.
Within this treaty upgraded the main pillars of capitalist coercion through the looting of
nature (declassifying forest areas and AEGIALI already mapped) in favor of unrestricted
'economic development'. The last example of indissoluble cooperation of the State -
capital to this end, it is the events of the demonstration of 23 August Skouries of
Halkidiki against mines "Hellas Gold". At the end of the demonstration were arrested 78
people, while two comrades who do not have Greek nationality, is expected to be deported
to their home countries.
The permanent state of emergency imposed by the ever-expanding state of exception with
main victims migrants and refugees, who either drowned in the Mediterranean, either
stacked border, walking for days through wires trying to avoid the sadistic guards all
intervening countries, in way for the countries of Central Europe. The Greek state does
not naturally lose the chance to profitability businesses, together with the shipowners,
sucking refugees, taking advantage of their misery.
Faced with this condition of total oppression our duty is the sharpening of class and
social struggles. Unpick any attempt at social legitimacy of the political staff and
authoritarian institutions. All the time until the next elections but put forward
antieklogiko and antikratiko character of our action. With the slogan "away from the polls
through the games", we support active abstention, as a prerequisite of the dissident
struggle. The position for active abstention is not independent of the proposal for
participation of those who are in horizontal-unmediated social and political processes, to
further their involvement in the social and class struggles.
Our position towards new formations that spring, or in the form of parties, either in the
form of "political fronts" and "electoral alliances" is that these are just new illusions
tanks regurgitate the same failed recipes of state authoritarianism and expansion of
social discontent. Preceded the unmediated, akidemonefti and anti-state activity of the
oppressed / exploited.
Vigilant to prevent any attempt at re-emergence of the Nazis. Crush fascism on the road.
Impending demonstrations (eg memory Fyssas) to make promotion gun standing antifascist
watchdog.
We intervene organized in all fields that are pregnant at the break (eg Skouries), we
fight for the spread of social solidarity (ie migrants in Idomeni but also nationwide,
inside and outside the camps).
We call on the oppressed to give battle in the coming months against the reproduction of
electoral illusions and take the extra step of self-organization, in neighborhoods,
workplaces, schools and colleges in order to make clear its position that a solution to
real problems the oppressed not to give anyone else except themselves, "locals" and
"foreigners", through their struggles against the state and capital.
