(en) Greece, Notice: founding congress of the Anarchist
Federation - 3-4 October 2015 (gr) [machine translation]
Comrades comrades --- The question of organizational reconstruction of anarchists in
Greece has forcefully and urgently put some time. --- Book publishing, political events,
discussions auditoriums, public, electronic or non-confrontational, created both a
critical sentiment deficiencies aformalismou and hitherto method of organization and
political action and the other a mood to begin discussing the issue with conditions that
could lead to practical changes and visible results. --- Within these two years, many
anarchist collectives from various Greek cities of shared the above concerns we entered
into a process of dialogue that will allow us both to think and to take a stand for a
multitude of issues and the other (which is harder and more important) help shape
positions and placements with other collectives with whom we had not necessarily common
codes and cover earlier political relations.
We believe that both the form and the way of this process and the content and effect,
constitute deposits for anarchist Greece. Even if the different organizational-political
sightings of the matter did not allow the figure to reach uniform and led to the final
phase of the process to create two different nationwide formations, the basic and
essential issue, why they started this process remains the most critical challenge: the
need for organizational restructuring of anarchists in new bases.
A need that is emerging strongly whenever we find that our reflexes can make us able to
direct and quick responses to the challenges and the attacks of the state but our
complacency in them, condemns our political space into the swamp of casualization and the
randomness of times.
A need that strongly emerges whenever our spearhead in a fight, morph into wooden floor in
monotonously repeated verbal patterns when they are integrated into a comprehensive joint
protagmatikou speech and a single coherent political program.
A need, finally, which emerges strongly whenever the social relations or dislikes and
relationships "gang" or competition determines who cooperate with whom, what and who asked
not to a process and who ultimately cooperate.
All of the above, ie the efkairiakotita and serendipitous nature, ambiguity and
fragmentation of imperatives, the wooden ideological and substitution of political
relations of the gang relationships, are right at the core of the reflection of
collectives that attempt to open a new chapter in the organizational history of the
anarchist movement in Greece, moving to the establishment of anarchist federation.
Of course, between our fermentation and dialogue not made us experts in the organization,
or we think we found the organizational panacea for the political weaknesses of the
anarchist space. But we are determined to experiment with new ways of political
organization and to test new ways of structuring action, speech and general presence of
anarchists in the social and class struggles!
But we are determined to tackle the chronic inability to produce a race strategy by
creating a political field where we encountered our opinions and converse equally and
functional. The federal form of organization can provide this field, further promoting the
production total protagmatikou speech and providing more opportunities for the spread of
this discourse in society and the proletariat.
We want the federation to become a set of structures and procedures which could provide a
fermentation field and associating the political anarchist collectives and fights against
the logic of opportunistic conciliation between political subjects and highlight sometimes
informal hierarchies.
Comrades, comrades!
The rapid political developments, changes in the central political scene, the (economic,
social, political) crisis, sweeping for our class developments in employment and social
issues and the dismantling of illusions for one more favorable to the bottom capitalist
management do even more the need of our organization in new ways, more effective, more
massive, clearly revolutionary! Moreover, our federal organization is a concrete example
of the organization but put forward for the whole society.
We live in times where most anarchist spearhead can and should be disseminated and
inoculate the social and class struggle as the only ones able to lead the class
emancipation, social liberation!
It is now clear to us that the transitional periods and the historical discontinuities we
live, anarchist collectives or will be organized, will design and jointly will do or will
be limited to self-referential and lost.
