A Way Forward
With recent events around the globe signalling yet another kick in the gonads for capitalism (ash clouds, angry greek youths and activists, including dead workers, new york bomb attempt and millions of people marching for mayday), I felt compelled to knock up a little article for the 'movements' apetite for conversation and debate about 'where the fuck is the revolution?'[Full Story | 2 comments ]
An employee of the burnt bank speaks out on tonight’s tragic deaths in Athens
Tonight’s tragic deaths in Athens leave little space for comments – we are all very shocked and deeply saddened by the events. To those (on the “Occupied London” blog even) who speculate that the deaths might have been caused purposefully by anarchists, we can only reply the following: we do not take to the streets, we do not risk our freedom and our lives confronting the greek police in order to kill other people. Anarchists are not murderers, and no brainwashing attempted by Greek PM Papandreou, the national or the international media should convince anyone otherwise.That being said, and with developments still running frantically, we want to publish a rough translation of a statement by an employee of Marfin Bank – the bank whose branch was set alight in Athens today, where the three employees found a tragic death.
Read the letter, translate it, spread it around to your networks; grassroots counter-information has a crucial role to play at a moment when the greek state and corporate media are leashing out on the anarchist movement over here in Greece.
