Political call of the 2nd Libertarian Festival of Occupied Spaces &
Collectivities, which will take place on September 14-17 in Thessaloniki. ----2nd Libertarian Festival of Occupied Spaces & Collectivities September 14-17, in
more detail the program in a few days. ---- If there is one thing that has been a
given throughout the world over time, it is that power is not only completely
indifferent to people's lives, but promises only misery and death, while finding
ways to protect, reproduce and parasitize at the expense of the social base. At
all levels of everyday life, the state and capitalist barbarism at the expense of
the plebeians is evident, as the political and economic elite multiplies its
profits, plundering the socially produced wealth through the ever-increasing
labor exploitation, the plunder of nature and its plunder. devaluation of human life.
State and capital are putting in place the growing attack, taking advantage of
the pandemic, which acts as an accelerator of the imposition of anti-social
regulations affecting the Plebian strata. More specifically, in Greece, at the
same time that the already impoverished health system was collapsing, unable to
cope with the conditions of the pandemic, resulting in the death of more than
13,000 people, the state decided to invest in its fortification as part of the
precautionary counter-insurgency, equipped both institutionally and fully in
practice. In conditions of social exclusion, the state legislates on issues that
are on the political agenda of the (far) right from the post-colonial period, but
until now they have never been able to be institutionalized due to social and
class resistance. These laws concern from the abolition of social security, 8
hours, the criminalization of trade union action, to the restructuring of the
educational system and the much easier plunder of the physical world. At various
levels of social life, he manages to establish a state of emergency in order to
suppress and fix the class and social movements, targeting and hitting, among
others, in particular, the anarchists and the occupied areas of struggle. The
legal arsenal is complemented by the perpetuation of the suffocating police
presence in urban centers and beyond, as well as the practical enforcement of the
law restricting demonstrations as we saw on November 17th, December 6th, but also
in the first rallies in solidarity with the protesters. ?.
At this juncture, patriarchal violence is intensifying, which, as an integral
part of power, is increasingly imposed on women of the Plebian strata. From the
"we stay home" with the obligatory and uninterrupted cohabitation, which led to
more and more cases of sexual violence but also with the end of the quarantine
with the 9 murders of women by their partners, it now becomes obvious that the
state mechanism and its institutions they are not just observers of the murders,
but also guilty.
In conditions of total lock down, the already impoverished lives of refugees and
immigrants became even more difficult. The state order was nothing more than to
keep these people stacked in the concentration camps, in line with the "stay
home" campaign addressed to the rest of the population, in a vulgar and
provocative rally of the exemption regime that imposes on them. After the end of
the quarantine, however, the migrants remained in isolation, in miserable living
conditions and without any access to the health system. Today, with the change of
regime in Afghanistan and the influx of migrants approaching Europe, the Minister
of Immigration has already stated that the country will not accept other waves of
refugees and migrants,
The uprooting of people from their places is the result of an inhuman death
policy that is carried out from time to time on a global scale by the rulers in
the peoples of the capitalist region, launching wars and military interventions
aimed at overthrowing regimes and enforcing new ones. wealth-producing resources
and the exploitation of large populations. Condemnation of the people in misery
and poverty is a precondition for the plunder of wealth by the political and
economic elite, as well as for the rearrangement of geopolitical interests
between global, regional and local powers.
The recent large fires in the Geraneia mountains as well as those that followed
later and burned for days North Evia, Parnitha and NE Attica, Eastern Mani, Ilia,
Fokida and other areas, highlight to a large extent the impotence but also the
conscious choice of the state to leave the natural environment at the mercy of
fires, since its protection has never been its priority. The enactment of the
anti-environmental law 4685/2020 that grants the free capital, under the pretext
of "green growth", to intervene in the natural world and human life, in line with
the continuous underfunding of the fire brigade and social welfare projects
(firefighting, flood protection, anti-seismic works), proves convincingly that
the only thing that interests the rulers is to safeguard the perpetuation of
their own social position. The result is what we saw in the images from the
places swept by the blaze, proving that the only thing that can offer state and
capital is ruthless looting and destruction of the natural world, in stark
contrast, of course, to the solidarity shown by those below. to the fire victims.
The bankrupt capitalist system in its efforts to survive on a global scale only
succeeds in impoverishing and infuriating the peoples even more. It is no
coincidence that in the last year we have seen social uprisings break out across
the globe, from France to the USA, the indigenous movements in Latin America and
the uprisings in Chile and Colombia, with the anarchists to rally in the front
line of conflicts. Let the organized presence of the anarchists on the already
existing fronts of struggle and the formation of young people be the springboard
for the transition to social and class emancipation. Thousands of people have
already taken huge steps towards social liberation, resisting the dictates of
modern totalitarianism and the global economic and political elite.
2nd Libertarian Festival of Occupied Spaces and Collectivities
In this condition, where the attack of state and capital is raging at all levels,
it is imperative to fortify in turn the social and class resistances. We must
spread Libertarian thought and an anarchist perspective and perception on key and
timeless issues. Based on this necessity, the 2nd Libertarian Festival of
Occupied Spaces and Collectivities is organized. This festival aims to create an
open meeting place of the social and class struggles in which anarchist and
libertarian projects were involved and in some of them even played a key role and
to highlight the way in which these struggles will be connected to its vision.
social liberation.
The Festival will take place on the premises of the University as well as in the
squats of Mundo Nuevo and Libertatia, defending both the social conquest of the
university asylum in front of the intended entrance of the police in it, as well
as the occupied areas from where they are born, housed and dispersed. libertarian
and anarchist ideas.
The themes of the Festival's events emerged from what happened and is happening
in the local and international social and political arena. From the struggles
that have been given and are being given against educational restructuring,
anti-labor laws, repression, the destruction of the natural world and patriarchy.
All these issues will be analyzed in the anarchist light, wishing to communicate
to as many people as possible interested in coming into contact with the
anarchist conception and organization, which are the only means of completely
overthrowing the existing, which is none other than social revolution. For a
society of equality, freedom and solidarity. For anarchy and libertarian communism.
Let us shake hands with anyone who rebels.
