Athens, Greece - Greek riot police attacked an anarchist contingent as they dispersed from
an annual November 17 commemoration for the second year in a row. Hours of clashes
followed massive demonstrations commemorating the 45th anniversary of the Athens
Polytechnic Uprising, a student uprising against a seven-year military junta which was
attacked by the military, leaving dozens dead on November 17, 1973. Unprovoked at the end
of this last Saturday night, police attacked the dispersing crowd, reportedly sending four
people to the hospital from injuries and arresting thirteen. ---- The timeline of the
attack goes as such: at the end of the night as an anarchist contingent marched down
Alexandras Avenue, police doubled up their platoons around the contingent and verbally
antagonized them, when the contingent called out that they were taking the metro to leave,
the police attacked. A video of the police attack (above) is also described in a tweet
thread by @kinimatini (in Greek).

We refuse to satisfy the appetites of the bosses. Every day we try to create either small
or big problems in their plans, to talk about what we think is unfair, to bring back the
violence they are exerting on us. Recognizing the university as another link in the
exploitation chain, we wish to undermine the normality and illusions it produces. To
highlight his role, which in each face remains the same. The preparation of skilled human
resources to feed the capitalist machine. ---- The role of the university and its organic
relationship with the state and the capital ---- University is the highest state level of
education and is an integral part of the capitalist structured society. Because of this,
he is tasked with carrying out a very important task for maintaining the socio-economic
system, the gradual introduction of new people in its mode of operation. Having this
function as a goal, the university is not a neutral structure in a power society based on
inequality, class division, and exploitation. On the contrary, it contributes to its
existence and perpetuation.
Its existence is based on an abstract and vague dissemination of "knowledge", but it is
about meeting specific needs. It was formed in the context of the transition of the
economy from feudalism to capitalism to cover the emerging needs of capital accumulation
in the productive process. The scientific and technological discoveries that led to the
rise of the secondary production sector - industry - have shaped the need for university
centers. They will gather, develop and disseminate scientific knowledge by producing a
skilled work force that will bring together the unskilled productive churns of
profitability of capital. Since then, universities have been part of the extortionist
operation of the capitalist world as they complement the blackmailing of wage labor. In
the capitalist world, the underworld is forced to experience daily exploitation in the
workplace to survive. Especially in modern societies, production is so highly specialized
and fragmented that it exacerbates the necessity of specialization through a degree.
The exploitative economic system aims to increase the profit of the bosses holding the
means of production. That is why the schools that act as a feed-in mechanism offer
knowledge, research programs and discoveries about the profit of individuals. Endless
hours students, PhDs, researchers work on a project imposed on them by states and
companies to bring a profitable result. As an agronomic, we participate in many surveys
each year, some of which are being exploited by companies such as phage and bayer. We have
also been a cheap tool for the state to make its dirt easier. This is how the university
became a complicity in the terrible mechanism they call immigration management. The group
of agronomists participated in the disinsectisation of immigration detention centers, ie
the enclave of people who have been persecuted everywhere, resulted in what the Greek
state calls hospitality without any prospect of improving their lives. Agronomic and other
schools often work with large groups such as the Onassis and Niarchos shipowners'
organizations. Through these partnerships, these institutions are promoted as charities,
thereby hiding their true interests.
In terms of society, universities are tasked with infusing the dominant ideology into
learners. The value of competition, individual development in class stratification. The
belief in state institutions, the sense that science as a sacred chalice will improve on
its own the society. The state presents the university as the authority of knowledge,
which appears with a metaphysical dimension cut off from the political and economic
framework that functions and is based. Thus, alongside scientific and technical training,
the profile of the scientist is shaped by the sterile consciousness that considers
scientific methodology to be authoritative and is ready to bring soul and body into the
arena of capitalist production as its indispensable accessory.
In times of "prosperity" and development where class mobility is feasible, university is
the basic mechanism of social development, the way to rise in the middle and upper
classes. However, as these periods do not hold indefinitely and crises show the primordial
nature of capitalism, class mobility moves only downwards. However, the vision of social
development does not lose its value, and without its realistic core, it retains its
imaginary outline. That is, the state always invests in indicating to the oppressed people
the possibility of advancement and (small) urbanization so that they do not understand
their position and, most importantly, do not question it. The universe, moreover, is the
primary vector for the diffusion of hallucinations. It presents social evolution as a
threaded staircase that moves infinitely upward and has space for each one as long as it
is willing to climb the stairs, a theorem that does not touch reality. However, even when
the illusion of evolution is extinguished, because of the establishment of this way of
thinking, class divisions are maintained and strengthened as a large part of society does
not react. Separations that are considered to be superior to a rich entrepreneur from a
poor / laborer and to living, but also to issues and options. The inferior class is
permeated by the sense of oblivion, pessimism, and believes that this must be the case
since it internalizes non-development as a personal incompetence.
As in general in education as in the university, the established competition is embedded
in graduation, in the pursuit of individualized performance, the anxiety of examinations
and the separation of individuals into capable and incompetent. The able and / or
incapacitated, determined by certain patterns of apprenticeship and behavior that the
capitalist world has. Standards that some have decided are right and that we all have to
follow. The difference with primary and secondary education is that the university, being
non-compulsory, is not based on both the outreach, punishment and the control of trainees.
But he attempts to infuse the already disciplined subjects into faith in academia as the
means for their development, while providing illusions of freedom and "openness". The
state and bourgeois ethics promote the degree as a prestige. The specialty of the degree
is transformed into identity, with the result that the profession defines individuals and
their value is judged by the value of their profession.
In the context of general neo-liberal politics, there is a trend towards the privatization
of universities. Seeking to create an even greater profit margin for bosses, who will
instead pay for the trainees for the time they spend on training. A training intended for
the bosses and their businesses. In addition, education costs produce foreclosure access
to the lower classes. It creates bands of overwhelming population, officially breaking
down the bourgeois fairy tales of equal opportunities and opportunities in the capitalist
world. May the privatization treaty still not exist, as in other European states, but its
elements still exist today. In university research for business, tuition fees for graduate
programs, catering companies, volunteering, the other name for unpaid work, pocket money
practices. Practice is compulsory in any school to get a degree, and therefore it is a
field of exploitation by businesses that use labor without depositing the amount that each
worker would be entitled to. The student as a subject is in a dead zone, since being an
adult is called to pay for the survival needs, but instead is not remunerated for the
education he is attending. Which creates additional costs on tickets for travel,
Still, the faculties are for the party mechanisms a field that they seek to access in
order to make incomes in the factions they control. With similar action, all factions aim
to familiarize students with the culture of the parties and the state, with the electoral
process and the assignment as a way of making decisions. As a result, party clubs make
their propaganda comfortably, either by following the liberal development line or by the
left-wing version of the state, instead of constantly targeting their voluntary service to
the devaluation and impoverishment of our lives. Both glorify state models with
hierarchies, oppressors and oppressed and essentially do not want to dismantle the
existing state. Whether they want to turn it to their advantage or want to keep it as it
is and to empower it even more. Several students may come from below, but one must not
miss the classroom stratification within the university. Apart from workers, future bosses
are created, where training and a ready inheritance fund will open businesses and exploit
their former fellow students. They are the ones who gossip the majors, sabotage with the
parties and the factions to take notes. They are students who only engage in their own
life, do not take up public debate and are not interested in socio-political issues.
The state also seeks to reshape the correlations of forces in other ways by promoting the
abolition of asylum, which is in any case virtual and created to give a false image of
social peace. The first abolition of asylum took place in the Polytechnic in 73 and then
at the law school culminating in the bloody invasion of the police and military forces on
November 17th in the Polytechnic, and so asylum was stigmatized as a field of conflict and
resistance with the existing. It is officially enforced for 82, although at the same time
it is guaranteed the removal by the unanimous decision of the rector of a deputy member
and the representative of the students. So the first lifting takes place in the 85 after
the clashes over the killing of Kalteza and then in 95 after the conflicts of solidarity
in the uprisings of the prisoners. Finally, the law currently in force on asylum is the
framework law where the decision is now taken by the Rectorate Council, it is only valid
in the teaching facilities, in the amphitheaters, and any obstruction to the normal
functioning of the university is also a sign of the abolition of asylum. Removing it aims
at a stronger presence of control and repression in our everyday life. However, its use is
realized when it is detached from student regularity and becomes a part of the total
revolutionary movement as a tool of struggle. Finally, the law currently in force on

the faculties from places of expression of academic aphasia into areas of questioning and
collective antagonism in power. We do not want a competitive world that is louder or
winning by pushing on corpses, that the only joy is money. We do not want education to be
fragmented, having as a purpose to cover unnecessary and fake needs that exist only to
generate profits and to make us useless to specialize our knowledge so much that we are
just a small piece of machine, we can never create anything by ourselves. For the
destruction of the power world, the university is an integral part of it. A world based on
state oppression, capitalist exploitation, gender divisions, and everyday compulsions. We
propose solidarity among the oppressed, self-empowerment, the dissemination of knowledge
without authorities, but with collective conquest without roles and specializations,
self-organization in entertainment, the cultivation of imagination and creativity in all
areas. As the abolition of all forms of oppression, of every university institution. As
the ruin of the existing and the construction of a new free world.

The solution to violence is our struggles. We women are the solution, one for the other.
Patriarchy is everywhere. Power, which is the foundation stone of patriarchy, is also
everywhere. Men who use violence to enforce are everywhere. Every kind of men's violence
is everywhere. Come on, woman, come join us. ---- Shredded bodies that are dumped in
garbage bins, under stairs or on river banks, are feminine. Those who are violently
slaughtered witnessing such scenes, judged when they survive by chance, but who are always
accused, murdered or imprisoned, are women. ---- Those who marry their rapist, who are
forced to breastfeed at the age of 12, sold by their father and husband, who are
experiencing uproar and their soul is lost, are women.
The eyes that mourn in the corridors of the hospitals, the police stations, and the
neighbors' doors, are feminine. Those who believe in love and risk everything, they offer
everything and yet they are deceived, forced to endure without hope, and their heart
violently breaks in every beat, are women.
Those who experience depression amid the crowd of city bus, who feel uncomfortable with
the looks in their bodies, fighting closed in hugs unwilling, are women. Those who cook,
to wash, keeping children, caring for the sick, and simultaneously work regularly and
endure exploitation in the name of assistance at home, who underestimate, always to
criticize and humiliate, are women. Those who are treated as bizarre in the workplace, who
are always considered to be inadequate for society and who are incompetent in any matter,
are women.
Those who are trapped in roles that have not chosen, who wear them labels, who hate them
and kill them just because of their sex, are women.
What's left for a woman, beyond our struggle? Beyond crying "enough!" For all those
imposed on us? Who do we have beside us, apart from each other? What solution do we have
beyond our confidence in ourselves and in the women around us? Do we have another way of
resistance against those who make us suffer? The solution to violence is our struggle, we
are the solution of one another.
On November 25, the solution to violence is women.

The director will be present to answer all our questions! The event will be in English.
---- MOVIE DESCRIPTION ---- Punching the city captures voices from a massive movement
sweeping across Europe in the last decade- and more notably in the last three years -in
the world of grassroots boxing. ---- The film is focused on the uptake of boxing by new,
grassroots recreational boxers, practicing far from large fitness or sports centers in
very basic gyms, often located within squats, abandoned industrial buildings or on the
outskirts of residential areas. The bulk of the movement is made up of those struggling
with a precarious life - immigrants, young people trying to find work, the unemployed, and
those working long hard hours for little pay in jobs such as motorcycle delivery or ad
flyer distribution. Here people who feel like nothing begin to feel like something.

A Joint Statement of Individualist Network and Indonesian Anarchist Black Cross
(Indonesia) Note: Updated edited version. ---- "He who fights with monsters should look to
it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the
abyss also gazes into you." - Beyond Good and Evil ---- Background ---- We know that there
is no eco-extremist tendency in Indonesia, although past statements from FAI cells tended
to have some merit concerning the general hostility against the social and leftist
anarchist moralities concerning violence, destruction, and the fetish of organization. To
be honest, we don't have illusions when we talk, write, or act against our enemy using any
means possible. Attacking the state and capitalism is essential for anarchists of all
tendencies (we're going to ignore the pacifist tendency as it needs a different context of
discussion), although this is a joint statement involving a wide range of tendencies of
anarchists, most of us don't have this nonsense liberal point of view toward violence
against the system and the people who defend, maintain, and materalise it in everyday
life. Some individuals in our network maintain their anti-civ and post-leftist stance
while others found some aspects of social anarchism are necessary in organizing the
disruption of the machine.
Our intention of this statement is to join the front against the eco-extremist tendency
that has been given platform by the self-labeled ‘nihilist-anarchists' in the US and
Europe, from our sources we know that most of these individuals who endorse EE and keep
continuing in giving them platform are using absurd reasoning and it's post-modernist at
best- we will discuss about this more below. It is funny though that most of the
individuals in our network evolved from anti-civ and post-leftist discourses, even some of
us have translated the writings of authors in AJODA: A Journal of Desire Armed (yes,
including that boyfriend of ITS, Aragorn!). The critiques of the leftist movement have
been useful in identifying the decadence of leftist populism in our territory, their
dead-end strugglism and their social democratic tendency which aims to make "a more
humanist capitalism," therefore we find it obscure when the recent eco-extremists were
using the terms "humanism", "morality", and even "sectarianism" in their absolutist
communiques as if the corpse of Nechaev Jesuitism was resurfacing again.
Are We Storming the Same Heavens?
From their communiques and texts it is clear that most of these individuals don't really
have any actual experiences of consistent anarchic struggle in real life. Our experiences
in whatever forms in our past actions have sometimes created a spontaneous solidarity with
different tendencies of anarchists, where labels and dichotomies of adjectives were not
that relevant. We found solidarity sometimes in the most unexpected way, even with those
adherents of Murray Bookchin and those anarcho-syndicalists that we used to make jokes
about. For us, this is a proof that when your fellow anarchists are fighting, for the
ideas that you yourself also believed in but they were in a weak situation, then we cast
aside all of our labels to divide each other and help each other out instead, because
that's what we really understand about being anarchists. Sure, there's this never-ending
drama, power struggle, and all of those aspects of the "movement" or "anarchist space"
that the Eco-extremists seemed to be so proud in ridiculing (Anarchist Myth), like it had
never been done before. The Eco-extremists were proclaiming that their holy sect doesn't
have such stupidity and they were composed of very dedicated individuals (priest-like
posturing) who don't share any of these weaknesses. It's an almost superhuman
characterization of themselves.
Well, we don't really care about their lives and what they really wanted to do, and they
can boast all they like but more and more proof surfaces of their "semi-fictitious" claims
and false-threats. Let alone their North American cheerleaders who have never really put
their ideas into practice. Attention, we are not at all condemning all of North America's
nihilist and post-civ anarchists, only a few irresponsible assholes who seemed to have
plagued us with this implicit Jesuitism of Eco-extremism.
If we follow the early ‘birth' of ITS at the same time when the FAI/IRF networks and
anarchist action groups all around the globe (with their own different tendencies and
beautifully communicating their ideas through fires, explosive packages to the rulers of
the world, and the deafening sound of bombs against prison Schools, banks, and all for the
purposes of putting a halt to the daily normality of capitalism, then you will understand
the other type of ITS. The one that makes even the nihilist anarchist need to rethink, but
then these early ITS cells had a strong analysis towards the general movement against
technology and they had a criticism towards the idealism of John Zerzan and Ted K. We do
share some parts of this critique and at the time their targets were not random people,
their attacks were as sharp and deadly as their communiques.
In one of their communiques they even give a salute and make a gesture of solidarity to
anarchist action groups and our prisoners all around the globe. It was exciting. When we
say that we agree with the first ITS communiques that doesn't mean that we dismiss all of
Zerzan's critiques and ideas, nor that Ted K. did not have relevant critique to their
aspects. The facts about strategies and tactics will not be something that comes from
treating people as prophets or prophetic groups such as the people we mentioned earlier.
We are against ideology. We are anarchists who believe and try to articulate
self-revolutionary theory.
Moreover, we have a very different geography and history, our implementation of the
theories that we articulated for our own lives always showed some of its flaws and it also
gave birth to a more coherent theoretical basis for our practices. Such as the
Situationists said, "practice needs to find its theory again" and so on. When we talk or
reflect about this on a decade of organizing and practice of what we believed in, we don't
have any doubt that we don't want to give any platform to EE tendencies.
It is just incomprehensible for us, to understand this absolutist rhetoric of the
"anti-human" and their actively advocating killing humans randomly just because they are
human. And their previous killings in Mexico, on the mountain, or the one in Zapatista
parade, showed that they are really this cowardly bunch who only have the guts to kill
people who cannot fight back (we don't care if it's fictitious or not but their whole
claims already explain what they are really advocating).
How can we compare these EE claims to the FAI/IRF action groups that have targeting
European rulers, even that imbecile nuclear promoter in Italy? We can't, there is a clear
difference.
The insults of ITS against anarchists who died in Rojava and other places, even Brad Will!
The anarchists whom we have never met but share their spirit and deeply admire them for
their courage. And to make things more funnier ITS even tries to claim the legacy of
fallen anarchists (even those who were active in the struggle of indigenous communities,
which, yes, is a proof that those anarchists loved those communities and were capable of
love towards their companions) such as Mauricio Morales and others.
From latest information we heard that the EE cheerleaders who published books - Little
Black Cart - (damn! we used to read their books!) were being denied to enter in one of the
annual anarchist bookfairs in one city in the US, Seattle. If so, why don't LBC make their
own bookfair? We are sure that many half-brained self-proclaimed "nihilists" (the
anonymous type that dwells on "Anarchist News") will attend your solo eco-extremist
bookfair. Those who fill Anarchist News comments that clearly doesn't even know what they
are talking about, due to their "white-know-it-all" logic. Most of them obviously have
never even read the previous communiques of ITS and that of insurrectionary anarchists at
that time, as there is a shared comprehensive understanding of the absurd ideas of
humanism, representation, and joyous rebellion to destroy the present order.
Our position is clear, we are in line with all the comrades who are against Eco-extremism,
because judging from their communiques, we don't share the same goal nor values. We reject
their recent posturing, it doesn't attract us and also their style of writings owes much
to previous FAI/IRF communiques which they have tried to copy. Our fight against leftism
is always within a context, our stand against the implicit Christian values in humanism,
universal moralism, and the core values of civilization is very different.
We are aiming at a different sky, different heavens to destroy.
Whilst "you" promote your misanthropy for the sake of a "Wild Nature". That sounds like
the title for a great fiction novel about some distressed young man who spent too much
time in front of the computer screen that likes to think of himself as the radical who
sometimes goes to the mountains in order to get some spiritual feeling or some natural
incantation that drives him to think of killing random people.
The Enemy of Our Enemy Is Not Our Friend
Before you think we always agreed on things with other networks who publicly condemned
you, you're foolish to think that we always agree on anything, and yes that is our reality
and we do not want any other one. Keep your perfect superhuman reality for yourself,
because it sounds boring, it rhymes with the promised after-life inscribed in the
Christian bible where everyone and everything is perfect. You exploit misanthropy into a
universal moralism that you advocate. Although, most of us already feels that inertia
within, yes, to your satisfaction most of us also felt the same way towards civilized
humanity. But lack of an analysis and partial reading, probably lead you to believe that
when one is against civilization that means we want to kill humans, random humans?
We clap our hands to Scott Campbell, he stripped you naked for who and what you are. But
especially most of us shared critique within the writings of The Edelweiss Pirates, it's
comprehensive. But just because you think we are stepping in line against you, that
doesn't mean that we will eventually be holding hands with other anarchist tendencies, the
social-leftist anarchists, and vice versa. No. Because people who never put their theory
into practice will never understand the ‘beauty' of anarchism even in our conflicting
tendencies. The anarchist counter-information group, 325, years ago defined them as
Civil-anarchists. Yes, the very collective who printed that pamphlet condemning those
characteristics for the first time is that group that your cheerleaders love to smear. And
for those US cheerleaders, if you took notice of the pamphlet "Against Eco-Extremism" most
of it is writings of action groups. They understand what they write and why they think
they need to state that publicly. The drama is on your circle, not on us or ours.
So, Monsieur Aragorn is still confused or doesn't have any idea about why this hostility
will continue even though he also continues to help to give platforms to Vasquez and
Eco-extremism. It's to ignore the EE insults towards the anarchists who died in Rojava, or
Brad Will, when they beat an anarcho-punk to death after a Zapatista demo, the hikers on
the mountain, and others whom they think as worthless humans that don't deserve to live
for another day.
And in your latest topic Anarchist News Topic of the Week (TOTW):"What is Our Goal Again?"
Well, we really don't care about your goal in your amazing consistency of giving a
platform to the EE tendency and the silly circle of the "nihilist"-anon. Maybe your goal
is to always maintain your skepticism by not doing anything in your real life for the rest
of your pathetic nihilising existence. Well, if that is the case then we are sure we are
not on the same path, and you are in a very different reality. Keep up the good work!
About Kevin Garrido
We felt the need to mourn Kevin Garrido's death as some of us understand the realities of
prison and how prison effects on individuals. We don't care if he explicitly said he was
not an anarchist, but the action that he was imprisoned for already speaks for itself. We
also don't care if the Eco-extremists claim him as "one of theirs" as we still feel the
same affinity to what he had done. But we noticed the Eco-extremist hypocrite of the
"Maldicionekoextremista" who hates humans so much eventually turned into a tree-hugging
hippy for Kevin Garrido, posting love poems to his fellow human. So the EE theorist can
love a human too after all!
To sum it up, below is a piece of Emile Henry's defense speech:
"Of course, I am under no illusions. I know my deeds will not yet be understood by the
masses who are unprepared for them. Even among the workers, for whom I have fought, there
will be many, misled by your newspapers, who will regard me as their enemy. But that does
not matter. I am not concerned with anyone's judgment. Nor am I ignorant of the fact that
there are individuals claiming to be anarchists who hasten to disclaim any solidarity with
the propagandists of the deed. They seek to establish a subtle distinction between the
theoreticians and the terrorists. Too cowardly to risk their own lives, they deny those
who act. But the influence they pretend to wield over the revolutionary movement is nil.
Today the field is open to action, without weakness or retreat.
Alexander Herzen, the Russian revolutionary, once said: "Of two things one must be chosen:
to condemn and march forward, or to pardon and turn back half way. We intend neither to
pardon nor to turn back, and we shall always march forward until the revolution, which is
the goal of our efforts, finally arrives to crown our work with the creation of a free world.
In that pitiless war which we have declared on the bourgeoisie, we ask for no pity. We
give death, and we know how to endure it. So it is with indifference that I await your
verdict. I know that my head is not the last you will cut off; yet others will fall, for
the starving are beginning to know the way to your great cafes and restaurants, to the
Terminus and Foyot. You will add other names to the bloody list of our dead.
You have hanged in Chicago, decapitated in Germany, garotted in Jerez, - shot in
Barcelona, guillotined in Montbrison and Paris, but what you will never destroy is
anarchy. Its roots are too deep. It is born in the heart of a society that is rotting and
falling apart. It is a violent reaction against the established order. It represents all
the egalitarian and libertarian aspirations that strike out against authority. It is
everywhere, which makes it impossible to contain. It will end by killing you."
Forward, always, into the Abyss!

On Thursday, November 22 , 20 anarchist women conducted an intervention at the famous
Theater Concert Hall in Athens, at the opening of a concert organized by the General
Secretariat for Gender Equality of the Ministry of Interior of Greece, with a view to the
International Day of Combating Violence Against Women, November 25. ---- At around 8:30
p.m., when an official began the event, the anarchists interrupted their speech by
shouting slogans against police and state violence and the hypocrisy of institutions that
perpetuate and legitimize violence. And against rape and sexual harassment in reception
centers for migrants and refugees by police etc. It also opened a banner that said among
other things: "Gender violence will exist as long as there is state and capitalism." The
activists also distributed leaflets in the crowded room.
The authority tried unsuccessfully to ignore the intervention, continuing to speak into
the microphone until it was forced to stop because of the slogans that echoed in the room,
while the first ranks of the theater were occupied by the President of the Parliament of
the Hellenic Republic Nikolaos Voutsis, the Minister of the Interior Alexandros Haritsis,
deputies, government representatives and other authorities. At the end of the
intervention, activists left the site shouting slogans against patriarchy and the state.
