(en) Greece, The only hope is on the road of the struggle,
not electoral illusions (gr) [machine translation]
Situated in front of a still "celebration of democracy", elections, we can not refer to
what happened last time. --- This 7 months governance SYRIZA - ANEL collapsed the myth
that SYRIZA has grown in recent years (even before government), that the resolution of all
issues that have led to violent proletarianization, ftochopoiisi and misery much of
society (memoranda, unemployment, repression, destruction of the natural environment,
privatization, etc.) is sufficient to confer on the "left government" to all be solved as
if by magic. ---- With this promise, while the "hope" as it was called, SYRIZA managed
something even more destructive than the hopeless anyway policy. He convinced with what
much of the bottom of society that the government road, the road of the above, is the one
that will lead to rifts and reversals. On this basis, the race was simply considered the
turnout at the ballot box or on the parliamentary elections or the NO in the referendum.
The social-class struggle, however, was, is and will be the one given in the streets,
without a guardian, strong, duration and consistency. Against the sovereignty and not hand
in hand with it, even if it foisted as left.
More specifically, the previous 7 months, the coalition SYRIZA - ANEL, under pressure of
hunger strike of imprisoned fighters and the solidarity movement in it, proved that
democracy is a state system independently by each administrator capitalism wants to avenge
anyone the hostile. The state invaded occupied deanery, capturing companions, thus
indicating that the state of emergency and nodal ideological lines and physical repression
is here. Besides the political contours had given outset the Panousis talking about issues
in Exarcheia, the anarchist, civil disobedience, etc. Prisoners fighters reached the limit
for you to die, some requests were satisfied but not some although satisfied not realized.
This fight, however, showed that unless we fight, if not fight themselves from the bottom
of society at all costs, then nothing can be won, not through elections and delegation nor
in any other way.
At issue was the flag of SYRIZA - ANEL, that the abolition of memoranda, not only did not
repeal any memorandum, not only did not stop privatization (eg cosco, airports), the
abolition of collective labor contracts, cuts in wages and pensions, expansion of direct
taxation - VAT, the operation of the Greek gold Bobola Skouries, Halkidiki and a host of
other issues, but additionally resolutions and third memorandum. They are the ones who
turned the referendum not to yes from one moment to another, as their illusions of a
"better capitalism", for a "better EU" for the revival of outmoded social democratic
management model is what mathematically will lead them, and as was done in this whole shift.
Today, after the historic compromise of SYRIZA who joined in the rhetoric of national
unity and consensus in a revanchism backdrop of neoliberal forces. The logic of "realism",
which is now and SYRIZA (one way the EU, the eurozone, privatizations, capitalist
development, etc.) prepare institutionally the grand coalition after the elections. This,
along with a neoliberal culture / class interest that has grown in a section of the
population and clearly evidenced in concentrations so, should boost now that illusions
dissolved in subversive / radical movement to find itself on the road to the base class /
social struggle and the prospect of conflict with the existing.
What was said all this time and again echoes in the ears millions of people who see their
lives being looted is "there is no alternative." Here was the deal, the EU, capitalism
itself. But it is clear more than ever that the issue is to reverse this revolutionary
narrative that tries to establish the end of history, the end of the struggle, the end of
the rollover likelihood and the establishment of another system. To do this we need to
talk again our position that the oppressed, those who produce the wealth of the world,
those hostile to the daily mire, those who fight the desertification of life and death
that capitalism spreads around us. The last time showed that historically the question of
democracy must be at the margin of our minds. Democracy is not an abstract social
relation, a feeling, but a way of political and philosophical organized hierarchical and
repressive societies.
The individual expressions of those from ancient Greece to modern social democracy exactly
show it. Especially in contemporary totalitarian capitalism, that democracy is the
military interventions, extreme racist policy towards immigrants, the attack on former
bourgeois acquired, the depreciation of labor power, the high-security prisons, etc.
Democracy is the greatest alibi a world that confuses human coexistence, the possibility
for a fair social system with exoistoriki and ubiquitous exploitation and power (by the
dominant perception). Especially those who place themselves at the revolutionary front,
they must talk about what they envision and not to specify and adapt over the opponent
concepts. Simple and clear, another freedom, another democracy.
The dominant narrative, showing the existence of the EU as an achievement of democracy, as
the union of European peoples, while in reality it is a supranational union of capital to
enable it to play its profits even more flexible than the narrow limits of national
economy and the nation state. A supranational union for prescribing the looting of our
lives from the capital, a political and military tool to be killed in the waters of the
Mediterranean immigrants, to underpin the neo-Nazis in Ukraine, have back the totalitarian
Turkish state. And within European societies, a beacon of hope and fear while it assumed
that the European perspective politically and economically is what brings prosperity to
the people and how people can themselves produce and organize their lives. Osynchronos
totalitarianism, then, shows the impasse of its choice award / representation and full of
mismatch in relation to people's needs. In this way, it becomes clear that the electoral
process is an illusion, as people are not expecting anything from administrators of a
system that is only interested in playing at all costs on their backs in order to defend
the interests of the capitalists.
So overall, we must put the issues, answer questions, organize our struggle realizing that
our fate will change it just us. Neither elections nor representatives nor pseftoelpides
and hollow verbosity. And certainly not the most black pieces of history as the fascists
of ASE was is and will be an organic part, henchmen and parapaidia chapter (feature is the
mosque on shipowners, the wages they get from them, the establishment of employers'
association in Perama working people docile to 18 euros wages, consent to selling off
public property, attacks and killings of activists, the issue of refugees attempting to
kanivalisoun on him to gather supporters, etc.). Neither every now and then to place our
hopes in something new. The violence of class social war we live is relentless, many
questions and the answers sometimes seem distant and utopian. The only real utopia, but as
regards people's lives and the natural world is capitalism. Only if arm ourselves for what
seems impossible will become a reality and the simplest.
As anarchists, we do not assign our lives to anyone aspiring manager of capitalism to
continue to exist and reproduce and manage its inherent contradictions and the structural
crises, eating the flesh of people and razing environment. We choose the road of struggle
as the only way they can win all that domination by location, deprive from below.
Intermediaries matches, despite their particularity, they put dikes, sharpen awareness and
bring closer the strategic objective is none other than the social revolution and the
advent of classless society, equality and freedom through community life. Preceded
internationalist and class solidarity with those who resist, against all adversity and
hostile environment that surrounds them, as is currently happening with Kurdish fighters
who guard the autonomous communities their against the Turkish state and the
fundamentalists of ISIL (Islamic caliphate). Preceded our solidarity with refugees and
migrants that time resort in Greece and generally in western territories in search of a
better life, chased by the slaughterers of the Islamic state and the wars western powers.
Within such an environment, then, today, the social revolution is more topical than when.
Capitalism, more aggressive than when, roaring like a wild animal in the arena. Be the
destroy before they destroy everything!
