WORLD WORLDWIDE GREECE News Journal Update - (en) Greece, APO, Land & Freedom: Political announcement before the anti-state-anti-capitalist course of the TIF 2023 (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Saturday 9/9 18:00 in the Chamber ---- At this juncture, the state

capitalist system of power is increasingly intensifying the effort to
establish the "new normal" that the "law and order" regime imposes on
everyone. the aspects of life of the oppressed, to ensure the profits of
capitalists at the expense of the social base and human life as a whole.
The demands of capital and capitalists add up to a condition of crisis -
economic, political and social - of the global capitalist system and by
extension of the Greek one. The government, thus defending the profits
of capital at a time of profound bankruptcy of Greek capitalism,
proceeds once again to intensify class attacks. Already with the
Hatzidakis law, he lays the foundations for building a strictly
authoritarian and inhuman future for employees. An integral part of this
planning is the new anti-labor bill that has already been submitted to
public consultation and which, among other provisions, legalizes 13-hour
work, work with two employers and 6-day work, legalizes flexible work
(contracts " zero hours") while introducing prison sentences and fines
of thousands of euros for strikers who resist the strike. The
announcements and proposals on the creation of private branches of
foreign university institutions go in the same direction, which in
essence completely circumvent Article 16 of the Constitution on public
universities and pave the way for the creation of private universities.
The usurpation is clear in the eyes of society, youth and workers - the
abolition of fundamental achievements of the struggles, such as
eight-hour, five-day work, the right to strike and access to tertiary
education. "public and free" education.

The social base, since the quarantine period and then experiencing
successive bans and repression, is daily faced with the question of
survival as now an imperative and immediate question, as unemployment,
on the one hand, and precision and appreciation of prices, on the other,
transform the basic species. necessities to luxury items. The pressure
and shock received by the oppressed push them to seek some
interpretation and explanation of the "law of motion" of events. Due to
the total individualization and conservatization that neoliberalism
itself imposes on the individual as a unit of the system of society,
this search often leads to dangerous perceptions and practices. It is a
sign of the times, as the election results have shown, the rise of the
extreme right, which is trying to gain ground. The growing presence and
movement in demonstrations (for example, new identities), university
campuses and neighborhoods indicate an attempt to regroup fascist and
far-right nuclei. Thus, putting pressure on impoverishment, the
emergence of strong regressive and anachronistic theories and using
patriotic and nationalist sentiment, fascism presents itself as the
"alternative" and tries to penetrate the youth, the workers and the
oppressed.

New Democracy's second consecutive dominance in the elections means
nothing at all if the entire electoral result is not projected and
analyzed and not just the statistical proportions of the divided groups.
Initially, in absolute numbers, the first force in this country is the
people who were left out of the process. Without a doubt, the majority
of the world that abstains from the electoral process is not an active
force in the political process by expressing another political proposal.
Abstention does not necessarily symbolize defeatism but at the same
time, when it is not accompanied by active political action,
organization and commitment to the struggle, it cannot produce anything
on its own. After all, as anarchists we express our refusals, while at
the same time making many other statements, building relationships and
structures of the world of tomorrow in the here and now, showing that
purpose and means must go hand in hand and that the vision of social
liberation is not a utopia, but a real counterproposal for the lives of
the oppressed. As Emma Goldman mentions: "No revolution can become a
means of liberation for man if the means used to promote it are not
identical in spirit and perspective with the ends they want to achieve."

It is obvious that social mobilization in the street is what determines
the balance of power inside or outside parliament. The conservation of
the ND votes, but also the parallel rise of three far-right parties,
show a more general trend towards the conservatism of society. The
Communist Party increased its percentages trying desperately to reap all
the social resistances that arose, at the same time that it tried
several times to defuse the competitive processes and suspend them. In
addition, social movements were demassified. The capitalization of the
struggles from 2008 to 2012 by the social democracy, that is, the
capitalization of the hope for change in its transformation into
political, economic and social enslavement inevitably led to a
deradicalization of a large social body but also to the further
fragmentation of what is called the left space.

At the same time, the far-right space, after the dissolution of the
golden dawn by the fighting anti-fascist movement that emerged and
expanded after the assassination of Pavlos Fyssas, initially on the
occasion of the Macedonian Marches, joined hands with the traditional
right, the clergy and the army in order to be able to regroup. During
the pandemic and after the institutional dissolution of Golden Dawn on
October 20, 2021, on a base of irrationality, the extreme right began to
organize itself around issues of social control, self-determination of
the body, freedoms, promoting its "anti-systemicity", finding all
opportunities to become visible in the public sphere with fascist
pogroms during anti-vaccination rallies. The neo-fascist triumvirate
resulting from the election reflects all three different networks that
have been set up to rebuild the far right, either with the paramilitary
groups, Mount Athos, the police, the mafia and all in full collaboration
with the government and the judicial system. However, the main exponent
of modern fascism can only be the New Democracy itself, following the
anti-immigration policy of Europe as a fortress. By killing thousands of
refugees at the land and water borders, with the modern concentration
camps, with the premium of the fascist pogroms on immigrants in Evros,
with their constant racist rhetoric they try to impose modern
totalitarianism through the daily fascism of society. Giving a bonus of
600 euros to the security forces when cops murder 16-year-old Kostas
Fragoulis. Constantly staffing the Coast Guard and Border Patrol with
fascists and ordering them to rob and rape defenseless people at the
border. This social force, expressed throughout the political space of
the right, has imposed cannibalism and the law of the jungle. Macedonian
brought back the poison of national unity and initiatives were taken to
claim the public space while the rival movement was experiencing the
consequences of the defeat of the anti-memorandum bloc. In conclusion,
the result of the elections shows in yet another way the products of an
economic-social-value crisis of 13 years which is not at all detached
from the cultural and value crisis that occupies the whole of Western
civilization. Nation states and finance capitalism have reached an
exponentially increasing saturation point with the only solution to
their existential problems being war, intolerance and fascism.

Whether we are talking about fascists or the state, the matrix is
common. It is the "need" of capital and capitalists to ensure their
profits. In order to impose the authoritarian system and the neoliberal
policy, it is necessary for the government and the state - in the
context of the class struggle - to be fortified in every way either
direct (with policed neighborhoods, brutal repression, etc.) or
indirectly (bills, etc.) against any voice of resistance. He has made
clear his aim regarding the suppression of militants and the organized
movement as a whole. He shows excessive zeal and persistence regarding
the structures of the organized anarchist movement, as he implements the
ultimatum for the occupations by attempting to "cleanse" the
neighborhoods of hotbeds of struggle, places of organization and
collective life of the anarchists. There still seems to be an attempt to
"quickly" close the cases of the vacated buildings and shelters, either
by setting plans for libraries (e.g. a shelter in Biologico) or by
proceeding with the sale-utilization of the buildings (e.g. former
occupation of Terra Incognita).

The intensification of our lives and the difficult and inhuman
conditions of survival keep us captive in a condition of constant stress
and push us to frustration, isolation and individual escape. These
conditions are also the main way society is manipulated by the
state-capitalist power system. Human life is now nothing more than
expendable. So it is time to look honestly at the real state of our
society, which is increasingly tormented and "sick" by psychological and
physical diseases (eg depression, autoimmune, etc.). As much as it is
true that nowadays society is plagued by an apparent passivity, it is
unthinkable for a person to believe that they can "get used" to losing
their own people to pandemics, fires, floods, but mainly because of this
rotten system that pushes us in impoverishment. A woman can never "get
used" to the imposition of patriarchy on her life and body, any more
than a trans-lgbtq+ person can get used to the social norms and
oppression imposed on them by the system. How long will we justify the
images of bloodied students - fighting for their lives - from the globs
of the repression forces? How long will we justify femicides and rapes?
Is it ultimately our own chains that hold us captive instead of taking
our lives into our own hands and realizing how much power we can have if
we act collectively? The only alternative is to trust the path of the
anti-state and anti-capitalist struggle - as the collective memory shows
us - to take root in every school, faculty, workplace and neighborhood
and cultivate solidarity and anarchist agendas. So the Social Revolution
will not look like a utopia but will be our next step. As anarchists we
fight every day to lay the foundations for the overthrow of this
inhumane system called the state & capitalism and to build another equal
and free society where human life will have real meaning. For Anarchy
and Libertarian Communism.
