WORLD WORLDWIDE GREECE News Journal Update - (en) Greece, Protaanka: For the March 16 strike (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Thousands of workers, unemployed and youth participated in the March 16th general

strike, flooding the city streets and once again demonstrating their anger at
state and capitalist crime in Tempe. ---- In the Athens demonstration, there was
an attack by the state repressive forces, planned both operationally and
politically, so that it would start against the most massive blocs of the primary
grassroots unions, specifically that of SVEOD. The result of the attack was that
dozens of comrades and colleagues were beaten by the fury of the regime
praetorians, suffocated by the chemicals of the hired ruffians and others were
arrested. The furious attack of the state guards, who then carried out murderous
actions in various places, most notably the impact of a police crane on
demonstrators, was partially stopped by the direct counter-attacks with molotov
cocktails and stones by dozens of fighters, proving as always that the militancy
resistance is not only not due to the "dissolution of the demonstrations" as the
professional provocateurs slanderously claim, but it is also the only way to
guard, defend and political and organizational upgrade them.

The ferocity and the state's choice of attacking those trade unions that
unyieldingly raise the banner of proletarian resistance without mediation by
employer leaderships, Stalinist bureaucrats and party agitators highlights the
deep class hatred that pervades the capitalists against the fighters of the
unguarded labor movement. It expresses the class obsession of the state, capital
and governments for the violent suffocation of struggles and the unilateral
continuation of the class struggle on the side of the interests of the dominant
classes. That is why the best answer these days lies in the strengthening of our
own class vehicles, in their strengthening and development, which in the future
will result in the transfer of the initiative of the movements to the side of the
labor forces. An answer undoubtedly more substantial and more militant than the
claims of an urban governmental transition and the co-responsibility of the
movements in feeding the new government commanders of the police democracy.

The collective organization of workers, the massification of grassroots unions,
the creation of new ones and their federalization should be the answer and the
organized effort of more and more people in the coming period, in order for the
strike, this leading instrument of labor disobedience and class resistance to it
is in the hands of workers and not employers, to become the fear and terror of
the bosses, to pave the ground for class emancipation and the socialization of
the means of wealth production. In this context, we invite everyone to organize
in existing grassroots unions and existing initiatives for the creation of new
ones, as well as to take initiatives by calling open meetings to gather forces
and launch the formation and establishment of unions in other sectors and businesses.

In our opinion, the unguarded class trade unionism, which springs from the bowels
of the working class, in the context of the "organizational dualism" that we
support as a political core, constitutes one of the two most important
conditions, which dialectically embody, the building of a revolutionary movement
. The second is the anarchist, revolutionary political organization. Disregarding
these factors, that is, class and political organization, no matter how
well-intentioned we act, we will forever be tails of history, powerless to
marshal power against the class and political enemy, powerless to overthrow the
brutality of state and capital.

If the anarchist organization is the meeting point of the high ideological,
political and programmatic agreement between the fighters, the necessary
political vehicle, without which - as the history of our movement has proven -
anarchism remains powerless, class trade unionism, in perspective of the Free
Labor Federation, it is the point of interconnection of all claims, of all
branches, of our entire class. It is the peak of the class struggle and the broad
meeting of the workers, who, on the basis of collegial solidarity, unguarded
organization and militant assertion and action, can lay the foundations for the
working class, dependent on class, to develop into an order for itself her.

The top bet, through the current social and class struggles, the organized
participation in them and its strategic planning from now on, is to pave the way
for the gradual fulfillment of the conditions for building a revolutionary
movement. If, instead of the collective class organization, we remain in the
"individual" participation in mobilizations that we ourselves do not have the
ability to organize, waiting for the sold-out leaderships of the employer trade
unionism, then we will remain in the "same and the same". If, instead of
political organization, we continue in the same ineffective model of
"opportunistic collaborations" and autonomous, fragmented and without organic
connections between small groups, then we will remain "in the same and the same"
again. It is time to change the course of history, to break out of our habits and
look at things more deeply, if we want to be the protagonists of the
revolutionary upheaval and not the accomplices of historical development.

Finally, as everything shows that we are very close to the de-escalation of the
mobilizations and their replacement by pre-election party fiestas, let us note
that only political and class organization could prevent the situation and keep
popular, labor and youth forces in the streets. Nevertheless, because the
recognition of inadequacies should not be an excuse for retreat, but a tool for
dialectical overcoming and upgrades, we must, with whatever power and whatever
vehicle we have in the present, do our best to draw resistance and anger as far
as possible. further away. Always anti-state, anti-capitalist, combative and
contradictory to the spread of government delusions wherever they come from.

Let's shake the pre-election period to the wind

The only solution is the Social Revolution

Anarchism or Barbarism
