“TO ASK FOR SOMETHING INTENSELY, IS LIKE BEGGING”
Undeniably in a season of crisis, A phenomenon inherent WITH capitalism, we experience the collapsing of social promises,
promises such as steady work, lavish lifestyle, etc., that every one was trained to want, and everyone settled accepted
in order to compromise. This compromise initially promoted the gigantization of capital, using as a vaulting bar the overconsumption,
and means of materialisation the loans and cards. This model however, as every other capitalistic model, failed.
Thus came the time of crisis!
This failure, beginning in the USA with the case of “toxic loans”, that led to the collapse of Lehman Brothers,
pointing out the danger and prompting the state-capitalistic mechanisms to fortify themselves in order to protect
their existence.
A state that is founded being already in debt and continues as such through all its his history, counting only
the last 60 years (1940-2000) of its monetary indipendance, four depreciations and a bankruptcy,
it is sure that it would be influenced by the world economic crisis.
With the integration of Greece in the EU and the Euro (for the achievement of which improprieties we will not analyze),
was facilitated the further borrowing of the country, with experimental terms (see. CBS), loans which now the state is called to payoff,
that in its turn puts on its subjects, increased and with limited possibilities of negotiation (memorandum – medium-term).
It is obvious even to the most ignorant that the control of the state has passed into the hands of the banks
and their shareholders, a fact that although now has become obvious, actually is
unbreakably connected with the birth of these mechanisms.
However “the king is now naked”, and the only thing left from now on to covers him is the total
of mechanisms which with the participation of the previously mentioned settled one has
managed to build… With the increase of policing that has been presented by the media
as a popular demand, is justified the creation, maintainance and multiplication of cops and
particularly those of the special repressive units. At the same time the juridical gang and its
methods offers its “valuable” services.
We don’t forget the recent incidents with the juridical coup d’etat that “justice” wants to pass through
on the backs of the 3 comrades who are persecuted for participation in the Revolutionary Struggle,
with the attempt to re-imprison them, neither with the attempt to internationalize the repression with the call
of comrades G.Nikolopoulos and Ch.Tsakalos, members of the R.O. Conspiracy Cells of Fire, to present themselves
in the office of the interrogator in Bologna Italy for the case with the letter bombs.
Down your limbs from our comrades!
Recognizing our enemies and choosing to attack them in the now, we
attacked on 26-11 the Ate Bank of Sp.Patsis street in Votanikos.
P.S. Our warm greetings to the comrade Theofilos Mavropoulos who is in the hospital of Koridallos prisons,
after an armed clash with cops in Pefki.
FREEDOM TO ALL IMPRISONED FIGHTERS
REVOLUTION FIRST AND ALWAYS
