(en) Italian Anarchist Federation / IFA: Support the struggle of the Greek comrades (fr)

We wish to express our solidarity with the Greek comrades that these days, were violently 
attacked by the Greek police. We talked about the evacuation of the Villa Amalias and 
Skaramaga, squat historical symbol of Athenian libertarian movement and the arrest 
hundreds of anarchists who had reoccupied the squat Villa Amalias. ---- The anarchist 
movement in Greece has implemented in recent years, strong responses to the attacks 
carried out against the ruthless workers. Of the responses of direct action, of 
reappropriation physical spaces, organizing popular assemblies in neighborhoods, self 
workplace. A response that refuses any form of delegation that imprisons the will to 
change the system which shows daily limits. A response that has brought together the Tens 
of thousands of people, workers, students, unemployed, Greeks and immigrants, because the 
struggle is that of all exploited, whatever their origin.

A response that scares employers and the state, not
only because it shows that there is a alternative
to social atomization, alienation and exploitation, but
that this solution is needed more than ever. Necessary because it is
now clear that the state and capital are only destroy
social relation that is not mediated by money or reports
domination. Necessary because the crisis impoverishes classes
working and middle classes, and that it is nothing more than a
another flight operated by those who manage the money and power.

Greek comrades were able to construct a response to crime
and for this reason, they are attacked by the police, supported in this by
the Golden Dawn, the Nazi paramilitary group. This is not a coincidence that in
time of crisis and popular mobilizations, the state apparatus uses
labor fascist. It was in Italy and it is therefore
and Greece in 2013.

In fact, Greece is not far from the Italian peninsula. Here also,
State nullified the results of a century of labor struggles and
popular. Again, the government tackles social movements, removes
occupied sites, attack workers in struggle, draws tear gas
against students, beating up those who oppose the
environmental destruction and militarism. For this, it is
necessary to reject the nationalist vision of the crisis, the nonsense
monetary sovereignty at the national level as a response to
Europe's banks. Must address the so-called differences
anthropological create the crisis, while referring to the arguments
racist. It is a distorted vision that will ensure greater
consolidation mechanisms of discipline and domination of the state and
expressed in its most complete form, in the sacrifice of
subaltern classes on the altar of nationalist wars.

The struggles of anarchists in Greece are our struggles, our struggles are
those of Greek anarchists, like those of our struggles are those
and those who, throughout the world, oppose the exploitation classist
racist and sexist, and built every day, a company
of free and equal individuals.

We invite all the anarchist movement to greater solidarity
possible.
