General strike for ALL on Wednesday 26 September


Troika and bosses
one voice and one fist


Few words are needed to describe the situation that we are experiencing daily, both for those who work and for those seeking work. We all know how much exploitation has grown and how much they have cut our our incomes.

But greed knows no bounds. Now they are talking of free economic zones. They want to turn Greece into a free economic zone, there will be no labour rights. They are talking about increasing retirement age, about an increase in working hours and about more layoffs and the full liberalization of opening hours for shops and banks. All this and much more make up the "necessary sacrifices" that must be made (as they say) for development. They are nothing but gifts to the bosses.

The problem is not only the Troika, the government, etc. It is above all those who have taken advantage of ​​the crisis, those who have closed their businesses or are seeking to create more favourable conditions to be able to exploit and to enrich themselves even more. And these are things that can be done easily unless we organize our resistance for ourselves - unless we question their supposed power, unless we believe in ourselves. If we do not establish a line of defence whose objective is not only to put an end to this situation, but also to create new conditions, with the self-organization of society as a basis, according to our own values ​​based on solidarity, dignity and equality.

In the struggles that we take part in day after day, struggles that we need to take part in, we cannot expect anything from the leaders of the GSEE (General Confederation of Greek Workers), the ADEDY (Civil Servants' Confederation), the party transmission belt that is the PAME (All-Workers Militant Front), or those who want to manipulate the labour movement, whatever colours they wear.

Enough of words and living in misery! The time for patience (as we are persistently asked) has passed.

Regarding the new measures, we know perfectly well that these will not be the last - they are simply one more stone in the wall that is growing in front of us and keeps us away from the fruits of our labour.

Our world is in conflict with those who benefit from our work, with those who expect to be able to decide how we should live.

In the face of these new measures...
we need self-organized militant unionism.

General strike for ALL on Wednesday 26 September!

DAF in Taksim imageWe Are Winning! 04:22 Sat 28 Dec by Devrimci Anarşist Faaliyet - DAF 0 comments

We, the oppressed ones, are every day living days when the states make our lives poorer through their injustice, when the powers steal our lives through corruption. Today, what the war between the AKP constituents has showed us, is not only the theft of this government but also the reality that all governments would be thieves. Because beyond the governments, the states are stealing our lives.

In this situation we live we need all to realise that we must take the matters into our hands to move in self-management of the production and society. Who indeed is still confident of all of these who run and govern this country for years? Who gives a legitimacy to their rulers and mechanisms? Why has everything to work for the advance and the power of those few?

imageGreece: Creditors and States are nothing ... Jul 04 by Dmitri 0 comments

Therefore there are not dilemmas. If the broader class, base, social movement in Greece can gradually and through perseverance and faith in the struggle to oppose resolutely and practically the confide of the lives of workers, unemployed, pensioners, immigrants in the hands of State, governments and authority generally wherever it comes from, and put into immediate operation and extend grass-roots structures like those cited above, this will be a great victory, a huge (re)starting forward, especially now, these critical moments for everybody - now that the masks have been fallen.

At the time of the writing of this article the ruling class is continuing to search for the "right" person who as "transitional" prime minister can guarantee implementation of the unpopular measures to be taken against the people of Greece, squeezing them once again and ensuring continuation of the most savage exploitation in recent history.

imageGreece & the crisis: Seeds of Hope Oct 31 by Kostas Avramidis 0 comments

Kostas Avramidis of Irish Anarchist-platform WSM, piece, on current conditions in Greece gives a flavour of what is going on in one of the small number of countries in Europe where there is ongoing mass public action against the austerity agenda. He draws our attention to community campaigns against unwanted capitalist projects, where the traditional political system has been bypassed. Kostas sees this as a symptom of a rising political consciousness among ordinary Greeks, but he poses his own concerns if this will be enough to transform the plight of the Greek working class in a radical way.

It is the people that have already passed the threshold between indignation and resistance that constitute this square which is trying to find other squares in order to provide them with the ground for locality in terms of resistance, claiming and creation, it is this square that brought together tens of thousands of people, it is this square that fought a tenacious battle in the center of Athens on June 28th and 29th. It is this square that by passing the threshold etches a new path and keeps the door of future and hope open for others, it is the social pioneer of the Greek society, it is the rival to the one-way course imposed by capitalism, it is the shadows that will always return through the teargas clouds…

imageGreece: the European version of shock doctrine Aug 01 by Kostas Svolis 0 comments

All austerity measures forced on Greek people since 2010 constitute a small hors d'oeuvre in relation to the upcoming tsunami of social poverty and squalor that will be served to them as the main course by the capital and the Greek government, the IMF and EU directorate. The percentage of “official” unemployment has surpassed 16%, while the real one is estimated to be more than 20%. [Ελληνικά] [Castellano]
