death bounded by a borderline
The recent massive influx of Syrian refugees is another instance of violent displacement
because of geopolitical developments in the Middle. East in recent decades. - The most
powerful political and economic factors stoking warming and feeding, once again, wars in
the region epofthlamiontas its control and exploitation of the natural resources. - The
competition for control of the capitalist periphery result in poverty, misery, the
manhunt, the disease, despair and death to be a daily reality for millions of people, who
have to be displaced or to seek a better future for them and their families or because
they simply can not survive at the Odeon of a targeted by authoritarian regimes that rule.
Up so constantly new refugee and migration flows towards the western world.
Today, most of the refugees coming to Europe from Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea and in
neighboring countries. The main reasons that cause refugees are poverty and misery because
of the disasters that have occurred since their expansionist wars the US and their
European allies, who razed by bombing both Afghanistan and Iraq in the past decade but
also the crimes and atrocities of several local governments and extreme fundamentalists
such as ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) in weight the populations of the
region. With regard to Syria, the main country of origin of many refugees, for almost five
years waged a fierce civil war. At least 10 million Syrians have fled their homes trying
to escape their lives from the murderous civil war and massive crimes both the Syrian
government and the dissidents against them, as well as the brutal massacres of the
"Islamic State".
The responsibilities borne by the governments of Europe, among them the Greek, is very
heavy. This is so because they have participated in several military operations that
destroyed these countries and because they enhance with their way of local dictators and
fundamentalists, who murder en masse the peoples of the area, making life for the people
there dangerous, with axis always imposing their own interests. At the same time, however,
the Fortress Europe increasingly shielding its borders with interstate agreements and
highest funds for border security. On the pretext of security of the Western world and the
fight against 'illegal immigration' is established an emergency condition where basic
human rights are violated not only for refugees-immigrants but for all the "bottom" of the
social pyramid. The result is longer daily killings of refugees and migrants in the rust
buckets Mediterranean and on the Evros border. In 2014 alone, 3,500 people died or were
never found in the Mediterranean waters.
The Greek State as the southeasterly deputy European borders, plays a particularly crucial
role in the "stem" of refugee and migration flows, but also in the repressive management
within its territory. The anti-immigrant laws for the control of flows, the creation of
concentration camps, stacking in prisons and detention centers, the chases and torture,
the threat of persecution and deportation, the effective abolition of political asylum and
refugee status through the rejection of the vast majority of applications, racist attacks
and fascist gangs role in raid guilds are just some examples of the everyday reality of
those refugees and migrants manage to enter within the Greek territory.
As for the alleged humanitarian rhetoric aristerodexias coalition of "multiculturalism,"
"social integration" and "human rights", this does nothing more than confirm the attempt
to separate people into legal and illegal given legal documents at minimum, the same While
the European Border Guard in cooperation with the Greek Coast Guard continue undisturbed
their murderous work in the Aegean, the mafia of smugglers operating unaffected, they will
operate new camps -which are portrayed open centers filoxenias-, while others, like hell
Amygdaleza , restart. So, integration and control are two sides of the same coin, proving
in practice that regardless of government management, anti-immigrant policy of the state
continued. Besides, the same states and capitalist interests, and are responsible for the
existence and expansion of migration and refugee flows, coming then to demonize modern
fugitives, describing them as clandestine or health bomb.
While continuing with growth rates of the human sacrifices in the Mediterranean and
exacerbated social contradictions in response to the refugee problem in the Mediterranean
and the Balkans, and the rest of Europe, as anarchists are trying to sharpen the struggle
for a world without paper, borders, nations, homelands and exploitation. We stand in
solidarity with immigrants and refugees and the struggles they perform. We choose the path
of solidarity among all the oppressed, we choose to set up structures that will lead to
the road of struggle for a society of equality and freedom. Faced with the brutality of
the state and the bosses oppose the syllogikopoiisi resistors, our awareness of the common
position dopa and of emigrants, mutual aid and respect, not fake divisions (nation-tribe,
legal vs illegal). Against the attempt to impose cannibalism and division of the
oppressed, respond with class solidarity.

ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY
In recent years we live in a time of global systemic crisis (economic, social, political,
ecological, value-). In capitalism, which is the main system that perpetuates its
existence through destruction (either human or productive or natural resources)
dimiourgountai often such periods. The crisis is a structural element of capitalism, which
creates and attempts to manage them and propagated, coming out of them with strengthened
structures, while through these demonstrated the limits and contradictions of a
political-economic system.
The present crisis is not the first nor will be the last. Since the beginning of the last
century such crises appeared in the spotlight as were a component of the operation of the
whole system, while disasters prerequisite for regeneration.
Today, the crisis has clearly surpassed the narrow limits of economic and generalizes both
institutional as well as social, political, level of values, dragging over and the last
illusions about peace and prosperity that espoused by supporters of the system. He has
highlighted that the fundamental social issue not only exhausted in economic sphere but
extends in the same authoritarian nature of exploitative relations, the existence of
managers and steerable people, the catalytic role of the state and multilevel support for
capital.
At this juncture, the government uses the ideology of development to implement the new
conditions of exploitation and oppression imposed and continues to impose, after the
crisis has now become a permanent condition. The development is made of the sovereignty
concept. Used over time as the main ideological lever subjugation and looting social,
class and environmental level. This is a process of further exploitation and looting both
the natural world and work with the sole objective to maximize capital gains. Introduce
through the powerful capitalist bloc set up in what - schematically - called western world
(namely North America and the European Union basically) and trying to impose worldwide.
Thus, formed a context in which certain Member sidelined, while others gathered in the
"core development" and drain the rest. We are talking, in fact to create the one of a
capitalist center where almost all the world's wealth is concentrated, commercial, and
economic activities, and on the other a region states impoverishes and plundered, under
the guise of development, survival and the expansion of the capitalist center enrichment.
Press then on the ruins created by the crisis and taking advantage of the general
disintegration of the social fabric, sovereignty through the ideology of development
opened a new round ftochopoiisis and impoverishment of the already affected social strata,
the resistances of which attempts to appease promising a new period of prosperity.
Plus, most of the social structures that once were under the auspices of the state
apparatus, go to market management through mass privatization. At the same time the new
labor and social relations are implemented. Humiliating wages, exhausting and unbearable
working conditions, massive layoffs combined with heightened repression, the
criminalization of resistance and the increasing curtailment of rights and freedoms
constitute the new framework of operation and life imposed by modern totalitarianism.
Fact is also that on the occasion of deep and lasting political, social and economic
crisis of the system experiencing a period of generalized state and capitalist offensive
in nature and society. The attack is manifested in every field of social life and the
natural world, as the existing regime is seeking to benefit from anywhere can in order to
perpetuate its existence for as long as possible time. The vast majority of society every
day sees its achievements be eliminated, yfarpazomena the political and economic elite
that dominates the country, local and international, while is constantly faced with the
terrorist action of state propaganda mechanisms that control the media, and with the
equally criminal activity of state and paramilitary repression mechanisms in case he
chooses to resist the act against the gloomy present and the future of stillborn accord.
It is true that the original social shock followed by a period of massive and diverse
mobilizations in the whole of Greece with strikes, demonstrations, occupations, militant
rallies and conflicts. However this period, and gave hope for a positive outcome of the
battle, failed ultimately continue mainly due to the inability of individual struggles
that erupted within the connect forming a broader political movement to overthrow, but
also because in the above contributed decisively and sold out and fire stop trade union
leaderships.
On the other, what survived that period and trying to this day to expand and continue
resistance despite the wider kinematics yfesi- is a diverse movement from below consisting
of popular assemblies, base unions, self-organized student and student schemes,
initiatives of struggle, self-managed social centers etc., a movement composed on the
colorful mosaic of the world of self-organization of akidemoneftis resistance, equity and
solidarity.
Furthermore, within this period, diagnosis and weakness that we as anarchists to produce a
comprehensive proposal struggle can in practice of appropriating large pieces of the
movement and to bring better conditions for the overthrow. This was mainly due to the very
structure of our struggle mainly based on occasional and fragmentary shapes, the
initiative of certain groups and comrades rather than spontaneity and mood sported, they
could not meet the upgraded requirements of the time.
We decided therefore to set up a political assembly that targets a coherent, consistent
and sustained action, both fights that break out from time to time and in society, which
will promote the production of a positive and possible realistic proposal Match life and
the oppressed through continuous osmosis with their struggles and their aspirations.
We want to set up an organizational structure such as to ensure the implementation of
decisions, the adoption of a common policy framework (based on the theoretical aspects of
the meeting, which will be updated every time the objectives based and means) that
protects and guarantees political agreements.
As anarchists we are pursuing with our struggle to stand on the side, as part and we, the
exploited / the dominated classes and races shall be undertaken to throw off the slavery
regime and in favor of collective management of the life and work from the bottom, for
socialization and self-management of the means of production, distribution and consumption
of produced goods.
For indeed our, anarchism has a clear class and revolutionary features: Our own road with
the strategic goal of a classless society, anarchy and libertarian communism, goes through
the self-organization of the proletarians in all fields of social and class presupposes
overthrow of exploitation and oppression relations, and enforcement institutions of state
power, both in the workplace and in every other sphere of everyday life.
We envision a society with equality and decent life for all, free from all authoritarian
and repressive institutions, with the right to self-determination and self-management of
all social groups, in solidarity, respect and harmonious interaction with the natural
environment.
