Solidarity with the Greek anarchist movement and with the victims of repression, international solidarity with all social struggles, in Greece and in the rest of Europe! [Italiano] [Castellano] [Ελληνικά] [Français] [Nederlands] [العربية] We didn't need another martyrWhile Greece was preparing for its general strike on Wednesday 10 December against the Karamanlis government and against the economic crisis, and with the grassroots mobilisation in schools and universities growing for some time against proposed reforms, Alexandros Grigoropolous, only 16 years old, was the unlucky choice to become victim and scapegoat of the police apparatus and was killed in cold blood by the State's forces of repression. The economic crisis sparked off by international capitalism against the exploited of the whole world, which is being managed with measures imposing general impoverishment by the States, is damaging the fragile equilibriums and the precarious alliances of power between groups of power and both right-wing and centre-left parties, enabling us to see the true anti-democratic, subversive vocation of the State and its apparatus of (in)security): alienation, criminalisation and the elimination of social opposition. It happened with Carlo Giuliani in Genoa in 2001, it has happened many times in recent years in place like Palestine and Oaxaca in Mexico. Last Saturday it happened in Greece. At the moment thousands of school students are demonstrating outside police headquarters in Athens, but also in a great many cities and towns all over Greece. Spontaneous demonstrations throughout the country are the result of political, popular anger with the Karamanlis government and the criminal actions of the police. The Greek government first armed and unleashed the killer cops, then set up a pathetic ballet of excuses and resignations, but is not punishing anyone. In fact it is trying to shift attention onto the destruction of public and privateproperty, while attempting to repress the demonstrators, attacking people with chemical weapons and torturing arrested demonstrators. The revolt is only beginning. And the general strike, a union and social, political and class-struggle general strike, can transform the people's rage into organised, grassroots building of the libertarian alternative. In every country, capitalism's growing crisis is presenting the bill to the working classes and the exploited of society. We must respond, in every country, by building together the social opposition that is needed to defend ourselves from annihilation in the name of Profit. Solidarity with the Greek anarchist movement and with the victims of repression, international solidarity with all social struggles, in Greece and in the rest of Europe! 8 December 2008 Signatories:

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Greece, the ancestral home of qualified, crippled, bourgeois "democracy" has for the past four days been experiencing a backlash by the poor, the marginalised, the "illegal" - those deemed unfit for integration into the good things of life by the conservative government and the unelected state/capital interests which it serves. We, the ZACF stand solidly behind the poor, striking workers, immigrants and excluded underclasses of Greece in their struggle against these oligarchic dinosaurs whose time has come, and fully support the statement by our Italian friends of the FdCA. We see that the rumour-mongering Italian press is drumming up visions of the unrest spreading to Italy, which is also due to enter a general strike this Friday:

We congratulate Ansa.it for their paranoia - and trust that the oppressed, excluded and exploited of Italy make these bourgeois fears real. Let's have another "Hot Summer" in Italy, Greece and elsewhere! It's time for a change, but not a change of the guard, an end to the guard.

The Out of Ontario Secretary of Common Cause has now also signed this statement and it is on our website at http://linchpin.ca
Also, if anyone has this statement laid out in a leaflet please post a pdf of the leaflet here so we can distribute it in Ontario.
Sorry if this is too late for your purposes but here is a very rushed PDF as requested. If you'd like any changes made, you can email me at griffin (A) riseup (dot) net
