 The Anarchist Saints Anargyros-Kamatero Initiative is a militant political

nucleus founded in October 2016. It is expressed by the ideology of anarchism,
guided by its liberal worldview and fights designed for the widespread
dissemination and implementation of its revolutionary proposals. ---- As a body
of revolutionary and class struggle, the Initiative is active in the
neighborhoods of the western suburbs and at the same time feeds the central
political action. Its formation does not take as a basic unifying element the
spatial planning of the "neighborhood", but the relevance of ideological
principles and goals of struggle between its members. Therefore, the Initiative
is not an "assembly of inhabitants" but an anarchist core of local and
supra-local reference with a revolutionary orientation and an overall strategic
plan of struggle.

The designation of areas of action does not constitute a restriction on the
geographical political radiation of the Initiative, nor does it indicate the
place of residence of its members, nor does it give any content to its nature as
a political core. Agioi Anargyroi and Kamatero are only the starting point of a
competitive movement that is not surrounded by one or more municipalities. The
aim is the geographical expansion at the organizational and political level and
the integration of new members from different areas of the western suburbs.

The political role claimed by the Initiative is by nature multifaceted and
dialectically combines political theory with militant action and ideological work
with the elaboration of struggle plans. The multifactorial nature of the project
is reflected politically in its collectively elaborated and statutory designs,
direct and long-term.

Through systematic propaganda work, we fight for the gradual reshaping of the
correlations of political influence in the social field of our areas of action.
We aim at a penetrating intervention in the working class and the youth that will
socially strengthen our revolutionary projects. The massification of the form in
relation to the development of a broad social and class grouping in kinematic
terms is the material required for our intervention and an exclusive factor for
evaluating its effectiveness.

The study of economic and political developments and the production of documented
positions on the burning problems of the times constitute a guide to action, a
regular target for the drawing up of racing plans. The validity of the analyzes
and the correct mapping of the movements of the class enemy and the political
opponents are a precondition for the triumph of the revolutionary strategy. In
this direction, the economic-political as well as the ideological elaboration is
a constant task of the Initiative. The results of this elaboration are
transmitted, circulated, dialectically enrich the public debate and equip the
people and the anarchist movement with conclusions.

The organization is for us a strategic choice and a competitive project.
Organization is a concept intertwined with social ties and no society without
organizational foundations can develop prosperity for all its members. We can not
oppose the natural bonds of organization of society and man, being by nature a
social being could not survive, let alone reach prosperity outside society. Only
in society can man realize his freedom and develop his individuality.

We can not perceive the worldview and the system of organization of anarchism as
something cut off from society, but as the product of social processes. The way
we organize ourselves in the now, is a microcosm of the future forms of
organization we propose. Freedom is born through freedom, that is why our
organization in the present should go hand in hand and come to terms with the
social model of organization that we propose.

We support the view of "organizational dualism", which is a fundamental element
of our organizational concept. We distinguish the levels of organization between
a) the organizations formed on the basis of the ideological and political
agreement (special anarchist organizations) and b) the organizations formed on
the basis of the social and class identity (trade unions, popular assemblies, etc.) .

We recognize the need for independent organization of anarchists in special
political organizations. The formation of a mass anarchist movement and its
social empowerment presupposes the construction of a modern and revolutionary,
anarchist political organization. We seek the development of the most appropriate
and effective organizational vehicle, utilizing the historical experience of the
organizational ventures of the world anarchist movement, fully taking into
account the modern data. The contribution to the organization of a revolutionary
movement and the formation of a modern anarchist political body that will develop
a revolutionary program, will inspire the social basis for the realism of the
Social Revolution and will methodically prepare favorable conditions for its
manifestation and triumph,

At the same time, we support the efforts of an independent organization of the
working class and propose its ruthless and free formation as a revolutionary
class. We oppose the party patrons, the "labor fathers" and the divided
leadership "avant-garde" who try to subjugate it to their authoritarian plans.
The relationship between political movement and class self-organization is
organic and not a relationship of hegemony.

The strategic goal of the Initiative is the formation of an anarchist
organization of suburban scope that will emerge planned either through the
organizational evolution of the existing scheme, or through the formation of new
Initiatives and Cores of areas that will be governed by organic unity. The nuclei
will be united within the body and their union will consist of the principle of
anti-authoritarian federalism. The building of the organization will be based on
the ideological, tactical and programmatic unity among its members.

With the end of the statutory processes and the publication of the collective
agreements codified in this text, the next step is the publication of the
positions of the Initiative on the issue of organization. The capture of the many
months of discussions will also mark the beginning of a new transitional period
towards an organizational and at the same time political-competitive upgrade. The
conditions for transformation and upgrading are not abstract. They arise from the
combined power of subjective and objective factors that develop dialectically
within the furnace of living struggle and the fierce struggles that come.

As a political body, we are part of the revolutionary tradition of anarchism and
we are fighting against its degenerate bodies. We are inspired by the classic
tradition of anarchism and the great historical moments of the class and
revolutionary struggle in which he was a guiding ideological helper: the Social
Revolution in Spain, the Krostand uprising in 1921, the anarchist action in the
pre-revolutionary years in Russia, the revolution Southern Ukraine known as
"Makhnovtsina", the strike in May 1886 in Chicago and others.

Recognizing the historical conditions in which anarchism was born as a
revolutionary worldview, we can not cut it off from its class base. We are not
addressing abstract subjects, nor are we advocating a general humanism. We work
for the emancipation and liberation of the working class, the liberation of which
will also mean the liberation of the whole of society.

Anarchism was born within a specific historical context of a relative maturation
of the capitalist mode of production and developed as a political movement for
the liberation of the workers and the oppressed masses. It is a product of the
socialist thought of the 19th century and emerged from within the labor movement
as a revolutionary worldview of the working class, as its liberal outburst.
Without its class bases, anarchism does not exist as a revolutionary worldview.

The questioning of the class basis of anarchism and its socialist origins is
always bourgeois. The renunciation of the class character of anarchist ideology
constitutes a renunciation of anarchist ideology itself. Anarchism has value
principles that have been summarized by its protagonists and is not an "open
theorem". The relativization of the revolutionary principles of anarchism and its
de-ideologicalization by individualistic schools of thought and bourgeois
postmodernism do not express a pure attempt to "modernize anarchism" but to
overthrow it as a revolutionary ideology. These currents are
counter-revolutionary in nature. The de-ideologicalization of anarchism embodies
the bourgeois influences on anarchism and marks its bourgeois alienation.

Knowing that societies are in constant change, that they acquire the particular
characteristics of the historical movement and the age-old class struggle, we
seek the evolution of anarchism in modern conditions and not its transformation
and alteration by osmosis with exogenous views, Marxist or liberal origin. We
find the necessity of a transition from classical anarchism to "modern anarchism"
and its own revolutionary stagnations. A passage that will extend its
relationship between yesterday and today and will renew without falsifications
and revisionist distortions the revolutionary proposals of anarchism that have
been slandered by its enemies but have also been attacked by its "friends".

Anarchism has nothing in common with Marxism and its organizations, party or
non-partisan, institutional or "armed". We hate the communist parties of all
shades that propose the overthrow of the regime through a party dictatorship on
behalf of the proletariat and the establishment of a "working" state that will be
ruled by a divided political elite. This model went bankrupt historically and
confirmed the valid anarchist critique of its legislative failure to establish
equality at gunpoint with state power and party oligarchy.

The Initiative does not cooperate with parties, organizations and bodies of the
left. It stands hostile to them and fights for the liberation of the popular
masses from their outdated, anti-labor and non-libertarian programs. At the same
time, it does not cooperate with anarchist or anti-authoritarian groups that
cooperate with the left and play the role of the "Trojan horse" in the
assimilation of the struggles by its party formations (parliamentary or not).

Realizing that no reform of the state-capitalist system will free the people from
the structural oppression of an exploitative / authoritarian way of organizing
society, we are fighting for a fundamental social transformation through a
revolutionary process. The revolution must be the work of the popular masses
themselves and not the product of a cut-off elite that will act in a coup on
their behalf.

We propose a Social Revolution that will transform all social relations and not a
political revolution with a reform program. Revolution means a violent
transformation of the existing hierarchical, class and authoritarian relations, a
scan of the old value law based on individual interest and competition. It means
the immediate replacement of all the old institutions by new forms of social
self-government, the expropriation of the property of capital, banks and the
state and its distribution as a people's property in the workers' councils, in
the communes, in the federation, in the whole society.

We are fighting for political freedom that is only possible through the abolition
of the state, parliamentarism and bourgeois democracy. We propose a state and
social model of organization that will ensure the participation of all in the
management of social affairs and decision-making. A social model, based on which
all the people will co-form and take collaborative decisions on every issue of
social life through bodies of popular self-government and workers' councils that
will be networked federally at horizontal levels of organization.

We are fighting for social equality and the abolition of the economic classes
through the overthrow of the capitalist relations of production and the
capitalist system. We propose the socialization of the means of wealth
production, the workers' control of production and the distribution of goods
according to social needs. There can be no freedom in a class society of economic
inequalities. The combination of political freedom with economic equality is a
necessary condition for building a state-class society.

Individual and collective freedom are not in a competitive relationship but in a
necessary implication. The maximum conquest of freedom for each and every one can
not be achieved independently of the freedom of others and the freedom of the
community in general. A healthy and free society is organized and decides itself
through its organs on all issues that concern it, it does not need to relinquish
its responsibilities by entrusting its management to professional politicians and
representative bodies.

The anarchist program for another society is not a projective accumulation but a
complete proposal. A proposal not only for what an anarchist society will be like
but also for what the steps of its formation will be. The anarchist program is
not written by a group, some divided intellectual elite of revolutionaries or
individuals. In order to develop a realistic, workable and socially grounded
anarchist program, it is necessary to form a political organization that will
promote it.

The new world is pre-revolutionary fermented and socially shaped by the working
class and the active vanguard of the revolutionary movement, organized anarchism.
At the time of the revolution, the new world that was pregnant in the shell of
the old explodes, shatters the chains that hold it captive, brings to light the
new social relations, the new social values that have developed to the point that
they suffocate in the old libertarian class society. . They question it, set it
on fire, catalyze it.

The transition to the state / class construction of social life embodies the
historical transition from the capitalist mode of production and the state to a
liberal society, to state anarchy. The revolutionary transition to anarchy is the
end product of the class struggle, its ripe fruit. Anarchist society equates to
the progress that fuels the collective benefit, the full development of the
people that make it up and their creative and productive employment in the fields
they love. Anarchist society reflects the most perfect and advanced expression of
political freedom, social solidarity and economic equality.

Historically, the Social Revolution has been the strategic goal of the anarchist
movement. The conditions that emerge in the second decade of the 21st century are
ideal for the organization of the revolutionary overthrow and are shaped by the
structural systemic crisis and the historical bankruptcy of the capitalist
formation. The formation of the subjective factor, of the libertarian
revolutionary movement, is the militant and political bet of our time.

The subjective factor is multi-layered. The working class through its class,
disenfranchised and libertarian bodies claims, fights, responds to employer
terrorism, goes on strike, occupies factories and services, develops as a class
for itself. Youth as an integral part of it offers vitality, passion, dreams for
a better tomorrow. It fights, it clashes, it fights, it creates. The anarchist
organization prepares the ground for the formation of libertarian militias, the
equipping of the movement with all means of struggle, offers ideological weapons
and programmatically outlines the new world.

The Social Revolution can only be armed. No ruling class in history has
peacefully surrendered its privileges. Nor will the bourgeoisie and the modern
bourgeois state, which ruled a few centuries ago by force of arms, abandon them
along with their power. In order not to drown the rebellious people in blood, the
revolutionary movement must build the liberal military organization that will be
able to crush them.
