a political analysis about What Happened on 7-8-9-10 December 2008 in Greece
There will be many of them that will try to explain to us what happened in 7-8-9-10 December 2008 in Greece…The same pseudo-serious attidute, those rich posh clothes, the shining lights of the cameramen, the t.v. stations, the anxious and pseudo-sensitive journalists, the luxurious newspapers, the ministers, the parliament members, the businessmen, the President, the Prime Minister, the leaders of the smaller political parties, the university teachers and the post-modern political scientists…But none of them were there…Why we need them as translators of a social phenomenon? In what beneficial way they ever proved their authority and superiority?…Are they capable to understand what is really happening in our lives?
Alexis Grigoropouls, a 15 years old boy assassinated in one side of the square Exarchia, the center of the underground, anarchist, autonomous ,leftist and different cultural and political movements of Greece in the center of Athens, in the end of nowhere in a far away land, on the south borders of the European Union castle…
In a moment that there was no fight, or any kind of activity in this area except of people drinking beers and coffee and speaking in the street corners and in the cafeterias…In front of all the cafeterias, Saturday night, the square full of people, all people saw the policeman playing the macho with the children and trying to provoke them by passing with the police car through a pedestrian area that young Anarchists are gathering…All the people saw him coming out from the police car, in full uniform to start a fight with words just to prove his authority and his masculine superiority in a moment that there was no fight… In what way the police or any kind of government ever proved its authority and superiority in Exarchia the last 30 years? Did this ever happen? We know for good that during his period as a minister of Public Order in the last years, Victor Polidoras (ex-minister) consciously employed fascist and far-right policemen in the police station of Exarchia square to create higher tensions and attack the anarchist autonomy of the Exarchia neighborhood…This is the fact, this is the cause, these are the results…The policeman that was in the police car that night was a nazi, a fascist, a neuropathetic monster of nationalistic stupidity, a man that was thinking of these young boys and girls as enemies, as freaks, as trash, as something that we have to eliminate from our society…And in cold blood he shot the boy in the heart….In the prison that will bring him now…our comrades, the prisoners of Greece, they will explain to him much better than us what is the reality for a nazi-killer of an Anarchist 15 years old boy, in a Greek prison in 2008
The government really believed that the libertarian, autonomous, antiauthoritarian and anarchist ideas are hiding in the hearts of 300 people in the middle of a square in Athen’s center…But they were wrong…Ten minutes after the death of our comrade there were 20 different major cities of Greece in full action…
The First Night belongs to the Anarchists, the Autonomists and the Libertarians of this country, more than 30.000 all over the country, seemingly everywhere, from the northern borders to the southernest island, all of them, without any need of direction, leadership, central decision even without any need for any decision…The fire of revenge and the courage to fight back the inequality, the totalitarianism and the cynicism of the State and Capitalism was ready long time now to fight…All of it was ready and prepared in the hearts of all of us long time now…Without talking, without political representatives, without leaders, without any kind of central decision…Just inside the hearts of all of us…
We know for sure, all of us…that all things have to change, and they will change for sure!…We will change this world for good, and social, political and economical Equality will rise as a wonderful miracle created by a new mentality, a common public achievement of great struggles but also as simply and easy as the stars rise in the vast open night sky…Freedom and Equality will rise like the smile of Alexis, open, warm and all inclusive…
All these Ones that Don’t Wish Freedom and Equality They Will Receive Chaos
And now everybody knows for good how it looks like…The police, the government, the society, the younger generations now knows for good how a Social Insurectionit looks like…In the hearts of all everyday life people shines again the hope of Revolution…All the targets that burned, looted and smashed in the last three days can manifest a map of all the things that will have to disappear when we will decide to be Free and Equal…and now you know…that is not difficult at all…
The Second Day of the fights and all the other days that will come, belong to the new generations…All these thousands of young boys and girls that appeared suddenly from all corners and all social classes of this society overpopulated the barricades and the fights everywhere in Greece like a lightning that comes from the sky and hits the ground of the cities with million volts power…
There was an old song that was wondering: “All the lonely people…Where do they all come from? All the lonely people…Where do they all belong?”
They were many «illegal» and «legal» immigrants from Pakistan, from Egypt, from Albania, from Africa…side by side with the European / Greek children (12 years old to 16 years old…all of them, sometimes all the students of a school, sometimes the students of an area were «taking care» just by themselves a whole neighborhood, or a small city center sometimes…all of them totaly uncontrolled by anybody)…They were also old people together with the young boys and girls, the unemployed boys and the workers of private companies together with the psychedelic freak drop-out autonomists that refuse to work, the university students together with their friends that work for 500 or 700 euro per month in jobs they hate, these were the ones that were fighting in the streets against the apathy, the stupidity and the cynicism of the economical and political authority…They were also the people that hate their life, poor or rich no difference, all these people that hate to feel trapped in a fate that was decided by some fat stupid elitists in an oval governmental office…
If you are wondering who were these people that burned and smashed all banks and high luxury buisness in all the cities of Greece, who were the ones that attacked so many police stations all over this country…you have to search in your house…Maybe it is your own son or dautgher in their room hidden with their friends preparing molotovs, maybe it us your wife making phone calls to lowers and radio stations for solidarity, maybe it is your workers, hidden in the back room speaking about the end of all these, maybe they are your friends, that you never imagined they will come to meet you suddenly in the streets, in the middle of this celebration…
A celebration for Alexis, like all his dreams came true in a sudden moment, a moment of death that shines in the horizon like a new star in the sky…How many wonderful dreams of destruction was hidden in the body of this child, that when his heart opened from the bullet of the policeman all these dreams came out in the streets and destroyed all the old world?...How many dreams was hidden in the heart of Alexis that in the moment of his death they spread in all the country like a fire that eliminates everything on their way?
You could see the smoke of the fire from one side of the cities to the other…The fire was burning everything that all of us hate in our normal everyday life…The rich and famous mega-stores, the banks, the multinational companies, the ministries, the municipalities, the tax collectors offices, the police stations, the entertainment zones of the elite, the luxury hotels and restaurants, the galleries, the museums, the super markets, the private cars, the t.v. stations, the office buildings …
And then, all society now knows for good…That the time is coming, and all this was just a first open public example…Maybe it will take us many many years, maybe it will happen just in a moment…
But now the society knows, that when the people will decide to be Free and Equal it will take us some weeks of estatic fire-celebrations in the streets of the cities of this planet to eliminate all elites and all authorities and save our lives and the planet Earth from the destructive plans of capitalistic stupidity…When we fight, we fight for all the dreams of Alexis, and we fight with the same courage of a 15 years old boy that can stand in front of a nazi super robot killer and speak out loud : Fuck you «Malaka»! We are Winning!
We are sure that democracy can turn in 4 days into dictatorship just to save the great economic and authoritarian interests of the elite…”Representative Democracy” is just another name for Aristocracy, and dictatorship is the escape plan of all “democratic representatives” facing a revolution... , everybody knows this now…We have to be sure that in any kind of effort to save our lives and our planet, we will have to face the police…But the police cannot stand more than some weeks in the streets when everybody participates in the celebration…
And then they will try to bring the Army to kill us all…But can your really kill a dream with a machine gun? And…can you make all our friends in the army to participate in a fight against us? Does this authority have the cultural influence to force the young soldiers against us? We think that the soldiers will prefer a revolutionary street rave party on ecstasy and many nights of looting and burning than killing their friends to defend the stupid governors and their fat rich friends in the limousines…
We are Winning!...and Alexis when he stood in front of this policeman showed to all of us that we have to do it also by ourselves, in the same way he did it!...To negate the superiority of the power, to eliminate the authority, to destroy nationalism, racism, sexism, homophobia and the macho attitude, to do not believe the media, to do not obey the social normality, to be antifascist, to do not surrender to the capitalistic blackmail of work, to do not pay back our bank loans, to do not keep ourselves separated, silent and in fear …We can do it…We Can Fight Back…And if all the society one day find the courage to stand up… then… all our dreams and all the hopes of each one of us, will rise in the sky like the smile of Alexis…open, warm and all inclusive…
The Worlds that are hidden in Our Secret Dreams, Are Much More Real than the “real” world
Our Worlds Will Rise from the ashes of the known world, Like a Flower that rises from inside a Teardrop
