On Monday, August 5, 2013, the State vacated three occupied spaces in Patras. - The 
historical conquest Annex downtown that is inseparable from the social and class struggles 
of the local community since November 1973 and has become a point of reference for 
thousands of resisting and insurgents over the years, the seizure of Maragkopouleiou 
Street Gounaris and occupation N. Gizis 33 - self haunt TEI Patras. - From inside the busy 
Maragkopouleiou arrested five comrades facing charges of domestic peace disturbance and 
the prominent damage, breach of the law on weapons and refmatoklopis. ---- Their trial is 
set for Tuesday, October 25 in the courts of Patras. ---- This operation was the 
culmination of a repressive attack of the state against the world of the match in Patras 
and joined to the overall design of a nationwide crackdown on resistance areas and 
struggle unfolded in several cities in previous years. The main objective was to give a 
decisive blow to the structures and infrastructure of the competitive movement, and thus 
be eliminated material and moral anarchist / anti-authoritarian movement that was at the 
forefront of social and class resistance that occurred in previous years against slavery 
and misery that imposed the state and bosses in cooperation with international antisocial 
organizations (IMF, EU, ECB). At a time of sharpening of social and class war key concern 
of the state was to intensify the Status of Emergency and consolidate the doctrine of zero 
tolerance against militant parts of society fighting against the domination and the 
violent onslaught of on our lives.

The areas of social and class of resistance, into which develops solidarity, reciprocity, 
self-organization, companionship, political fermentation, life is ultimately the same, is 
not just some facades. We never realized them as such. The state can seal them, demolish 
or leave them to devastate them. In no way we can not seal our ideas. To halt the race for 
life and freedom. As anarchists we stand in solidarity with the persecuted comrades, like 
every fighter and space of movement that is targeted by the state repression, realizing 
that the attack on one of us is an attack on all of us and as such should be answered 
collectively and decisively.

SOLIDARITY FOR 5 DIOKOMENOUS occupant MARAGKOPOULEIOU

arrested during the evacuation of the state on August 5, 13, in a coordinated crackdown 
all occupied spaces match in Patras.

CONCENTRATION IN SOLIDARITY COURTS: TUESDAY 25 OCTOBER 2016 9:00 a.m.

The morning of the third 18/10 intervened in radio station "in the red" in Thessaloniki 
and read our text on the question of a 'home auctions and also invited to participate in 
the world in concentration against auctions on wednesday 19/10 in 15.30. ---- the text 
read: ---- Concentration against auctions | TO FINISH THE AUCTIONS OR OTHERWISE OUR steals 
LIFE, we will resist ---- In a period of general economic and humanitarian crisis, once 
violated labor rights and acquired years that salaries and pensions decrease rapidly and 
unemployment is touching red, the bulk of society living in poverty and misery, thousands 
of people crammed into detention centers - "accommodation" in appalling living conditions, 
the SYRIZA-ANEL government in cooperation with banks and always under the supervision of 
European institutions, proceeds of auctioning a 'residence ,.

It is truly remarkable the fact that what no previous governments have managed to sign the 
first two memoranda, now comes the leftist government to realize and even in the midst of 
a mismatch social peace and consensus.

Given the economic and working conditions prevailing in the country and the standard of 
living, which are progressively shrinking, and the vast percentage of home ownership in 
Greece, met easily all the conditions set by law Katseli to facilitate the banks' work and 
n 'grab the houses of the world.

The first auction attempt first house shows all the vulgarity of the government and of 
this law, as regards individual diagnosed with high disability rate that fails to work. 
However, this does not tell us anything, because we believe the housing basic social need 
and will fight to not lose no man's house by banks.

The right to primary residence is not a matter of luxury but biotic need. The complete 
hypocrisy of the government culminates once raised the mask of the welfare state, but at 
the same time criminalizing the ownership of empty spaces and homes. Bind the property of 
the people, creating armies of homeless people will be forced Being on the road with their 
children or themselves to find solutions to meet their need for housing.

We, as anarchists / s perceive housing as indisputable social and basic need and to those 
who will try to to deprive any man, we say this: You will find us to you! We will not 
allow to pass into the hands of banks anyone home.

Against new and old understandings, against local and international masters To dismantle 
capitalism and to rebuild their lives, with key components of social solidarity, 
cooperation, self-organization. To take back all the stolen wealth, give the factories to 
the workers, the services to return to the public sphere, in society that will supervise 
them. To get around the ecclesiastical wealth and use it for our needs. To give life to 
empty houses and to realize the free life as we think in them. To sustain each other, to 
cook together, to feed them all, do not let any misanthropic being, no "political leader" 
divide us, talking together in a direct way, geitonia- neighborhood to meet and get to 
know our needs, to find together ways to cover them with justice and equality. Do what is 
our plan. A design that has remained the only one that does not lead to more misery in war 
and bloodshed. It is not easy and we will fight any government, the police, the army. But 
we will win because we have right on our side, we have the consciousness of the people on 
our side. And that is all you have. And it is enough.

We call for the exclusion of the Peace Thessaloniki to assert that we are entitled, of our 
homes! We call the whole world of struggle, the collectives, the neighborhood assemblies, 
the base unions, student figures to march with us and no home is not found at banker hands 
or any other state apparatus. All along, natives and immigrants, workers or not, To combat 
the looting of our lives and to give his life in our hands. All together for a society of 
equality, solidarity, freedom.

Challenger THE RIGHT TO HOUSING. Disputes PART THEREOF.

TO FINISH THE AUCTIONS. Take OUR LIVES ON IN OUR HANDS.

ALL / S IN COURTS WEDNESDAY 19/10 AT 15.30

It's 2008, Viyan 18 years. It is shepherdess in a Kurdish village in the region of Ayn 
al-Arab - but then Ain al-Arab, its name in Arabic, because the Kurdish language is banned 
under the regime of Assad. Viyan deposited beside the bed of his mother's jewelry box. It 
does this quietly, not to wake her. Tonight she will join the guerrillas. She said nothing 
to anyone, neither his mother nor his sisters, nor his brother who is head of the family 
office. His brother, precisely, wanted her to marry one of her cousins while Viyan has 
other desires: to learn, to fight for his people to be free. ---- His departure is 
incredible. A couple comes to get in a van with another girl from his village. Hardly have 
they traveled a few kilometers that the brother of Viyan appears on his motorcycle and 
chases them. The girl asks: if he catches up, it's over, it will never become a fighter, 
she will never be free. Fortunately, the bike disappears ina corner, and rickety van 
continues on his way, sinking into darkness. To his family, Viyan has been removed; but 
the next day, militiamen come to tell them the truth: their daughter joined the maquis. 
Paradox of the Kurdish countryside where burns the desire for autonomy, but when families 
are ready to fight to prevent their daughters joining the fight.

After winning the PKK camps in the Qandil Mountains in Iraq, Viyan never cease to fight. 
Against itself first, to support training and awareness of its responsibility; if it 
fails, his comrades can leave their lives. Against Assad, and all the rulers of the 
region. Daech against that threatens to exterminate and destroy a hard-won freedom. 
Against the mentality of Arab militias allied with the Kurds but reluctant to arm women.

This story is Viyan which itself tells the journalist Pascale Bourgaux, author of the 
documentary Women against Daech. Despite a French publisher who has largely given to 
sensationalism (racoleur headband, faux suspense to keep the audience in suspense), 
despite a drawn text on more than 200 pages when he could easily held in 100, despite all 
this, the testimony is exciting.

Discover the daily life of Kurdish peasants, organizing militias where we both learned to 
fire a Kalashnikov than the alphabet and writing, the war against Daech day to day, the 
terrible ordeal of the battle of Ayn al-Arab ... the European readers will be surprised 
that the YPG-YPJ militias possess a unique command system probably in the world: each 
officer position is occupied by both a man and a woman, the man has not the right to give 
orders to the women of his unit while the woman can give orders to all combatants.

Me, Viyan ... is above all a human story. Here, no political analysis of the orientation 
of the PYD or geopolitical considerations on Rojava. Viyan speaks trials, joys, everything 
that makes this fight a fight of beings of flesh and bone. It also shows the facets of his 
personality or the Kurdish cause that may shock our latitudes: the cult of personality of 
Abdullah Öcalan, the philosophy martyrdom and sacrifice in the fight against Daech a 
little quick overview of the Kurdish ideology as "Marxist-Leninist" strict repression of 
romantic relationships in the militia, etc.

Closing the book, one is struck with a double sense: humble solidarity for the courage and 
the fighting Kurdish fighters on one hand; renewed questioning on their social project.

already been paid to the political manoeuvring of our so-called leaders, across untold 
pages of papers and websites. We've spelled out our own position very clearly in previous 
copies of Resistance, and recommend you pick up those if you want to see yet more pictures 
of politicians. For this issue we instead put the focus where it belongs, on grass roots 
struggle - on the strikes, occupations and protests that are winning real change for 
workers across the UK and beyond. It is these actions that win real concessions for 
ordinary people. The politicians only ever play catch up. If they're offering us something 
good, it's usually only out of fear we're going to take something better if they don't! 
If, like us, you don't trust any political party further than you can throw it, these 
pages should serve as a how-to guide for causing trouble and scoring victories by standing 
together rather than looking to the higher power of parliament.

Building of the separation wall with Serbia, biased referendum on the issue of refugee-es, 
nationalist escalation in speeches, racist poster campaign ... In the country of Viktor 
Orbán, and more broadly in Eastern Europe, racist anti-immigrant offensive is becoming 
more and more worrying. ---- Hungary is definitely not a haven for refugees come-es-es of 
the Middle East or Africa. Viktor Orbán always goes further in his denunciation of 
migration quotas within the European Union 1 and immigration in general. He also turned a 
corner this summer, assuming both the most complotistes theories and that of the "great 
replacement". One can find a decisive stage of this new development in his speech on the 
occasion of the national holiday of March 15: "It is forbidden us to say that in Brussels, 
they are looking for ways to send more foreign quickly as possible to install here. We are 
forbidden to say that the purpose of the settlement is to redraw the religious and 
cultural map of Europe, to undermine ethnic bases and eliminate the nation states, which 
are the last obstacles this International. " It stinks like Soral: interesting to see the 
similarities between hard lines to power in some countries in Europe and the wildest 
assertions from identity environments reach impressive heights.

identity project to power

The problem is that in Hungary - even if the political roots of Fidesz, the ruling party, 
are to be sought in the political and economic liberalism of the 1980s - the nationalist 
project, now even outright identity, in power and not just in smoky spirits radical 
circles. Now this government is able to do things. For example, since the beginning of 
2016, of the 25 000 asylum applications filed, only 250 persons were granted refugee 
status-e. In the summer of 2015, the government had erected at the Serbian border a 175km 
wall. And today it is preparing to build a second, to strengthen: "If it does not work 
with beautiful words, we must stop them by force, and we will," bawls Hungarian Prime 
Minister ( quoted by Reuters). Some 47 000 police officers are permanently deployed along 
the wall.

Why so hard? Orbán is not currently at the peak of his fame. He is challenged by some 
sectors of the population, in the context of sometimes scale social movements (see box). 
The stock of possible populist reforms runs out, and put it before Brexit contradictions 
facing liberal Europe: so far, he could denounce body and cries, but now that the release 
of the EU is in a more concrete date, when asked if he would like for Hungary, it is 
transformed in a significant silence of the deep commitment of the regime to liberal 
capitalism. Maintaining a strong antimigrants propaganda is an appropriate solution to 
allow the plan to get out of its contradictions.

This is the way to understand all the commotion combat implemented by the government 
against immigration quotas, which translates to a referendum to be held on October 2 in 
the purest tradition of authoritarian Caesarism. The question is: "Do you agree that the 
EU could order the installation in Hungary, on a mandatory, non-Hungarian nationals 
without the consent of the National Assembly? " Note the neutrality with which it is put. 
This referendum is articulated in a government propaganda in the wake of that of last 
year, with a new display campaign on the theme: "Did you know? ". And the information 
disclosed on these posters are: "These are immigrants who committed the attack in Paris"; 
"Nearly a million migrants want to come to Europe from Libya alone"; or "Since the 
beginning of the migration crisis, the number of harassment against women in Europe has 
increased considerably." Also in this campaign, the government takes up the delirium of 
Islamophobic American writer Robert Spencer on "no-go areas", by drawing up a map of 
Europe, described in these terms on the government website: " the spaces called "no-go 
areas" are urban districts, the authorities are unable or have difficulty, to keep under 
their control. There, written or unwritten norms of the host society are struggling to 
win. In European cities which have sizeable immigrant communities, there are over a 
hundred "no-gone zones" of this type. "

The problem is that we can not take Hungary Orbán for an isolated case. Construction of 
fascist regimes is something progressive, and the convergence of the toughest extreme 
right and the government parties is an indication of this construction in several European 
countries. In Eastern Europe, an informal coalition of four countries, the "Visegrad Four" 
(Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia) is headwind against the reception of 
migrants and migrant since summer 2015. There one year, Robert Fico, chairman of the 
Slovak government formed by the social democracy, declared to want to get that Christian 
migrants, while it still August 23, the head of the Czech government, Bohuslav Sobotka, 
was against the constitution of a "strong Muslim community" in his country. And it is 
clear that this phenomenon progresses throughout Europe beyond the countries of the East.

Anarchists in Derry took part in today's anti war demonstration at the city centre war 
memorial as we have done many times before with a clear anarchist message 'No War But The
Class War!' ---- All of the speakers quite rightly condemned the continuing atrocities 
being inflicted upon the people of Syria and the entire Middle East, and the ongoing 
humanitarian crisis not witnessed on this scale in decades. ---- Twenty-four hour media 
manipulation on both sides of the propaganda war has deliberately created mass confusion 
as to who the real perpetrators truly are as Russia, Europe and United States attempt to 
gain the high moral ground while thousands are killed, millions left without homes and 
entire communities devastated. ---- Their unofficial policy of endless war and 
destabilization is an attempt to divert the world's working class into the dead-end of 
supporting their "own" states in the name of "civilisation", the same civilisation that 
allows 25,000 children to die every day from malnutrition and preventable diseases. All 
countries involved are attempting to reignite the flames of nationalism to divert 
attention away from the crisis of capitalism at home in their own national interests.

Amongst this confusion and chaos elements of the Left have already chosen one side against 
in bizarre scenes reminiscent of old Cold War battles, as if old scores need settled. For 
anarchists we make no such alliances. We are anti-imperialist and opposed to the continous 
wars orchestrated throughout the Middle East between Russia, USA and of course Europe.

Obama and Putin are terrorists, butchers and murderers, no less than their puppets 
al-Assad or Islamic State. They are all the enemies of working people. As working-class 
internationalists, we oppose this war and all other imperialist wars, and raise the slogan 
NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR!

Here in Ireland we must not fall into the trap of hopelessness which many are overcome by 
through television propaganda fuelled by BBC, RT, FOX, SKY, CNN or RTE. Confusion and 
demoralisation by relentless images of war, devastation and death can take its toll but 
small acts of solidarity action on the streets can make an impact.

Anti War actions such as today's in Derry are important to highlight issues such as 
Refuelling at Shannon, Palestine, Kurdistan or Refugee solidarity. Acting locally and 
linking nationally and internationally can create a strong and effective anti-war movement.

As anarchists, ultimately we call on all workers to reject all forms of nationalism - to 
unite in their workplaces, to strike in opposition not only to this war but all wars and 
to help bring about the transformation of society from the barbarism of capitalism to a 
free, just, and equal society. Only the working class has the power to do this, just as 
the revolutionary action of the world's working class stopped the First World War 100 
years ago.

Strikes, occupations, formation of community or workers' councils - these were the actions 
the workers took against that war, and they managed to bring the slaughter to a halt. That 
is why we continue to call for - No War But Class War!
