From Athens to Amsterdam, strong austerity measures are being carried trough, by which the lower classes of society are being hit the hardest. All European countries will be cut for billions in their budgets, therefore, wages, pensions, studygran are all under pressure or under threat of being downsized. Governments says that these budget cuts are necessary, because the state needs to get rid of their debts. But those debts were caused by themselves because they offered rescue packages as gifts to the banks. In the meantime, we are being told that we should just accept these measures, or even that they are our own fault. The workers, unemployed and students are now going to pay for the financial support for the banks. We should now 'rescue' the state, the rich and their banks from their 'failures'. But we all know that the politicians and bankers were all filling their own pockets to make sure they didn't suffer through any crisis personally.

We are not going to pay for their crisis. A capitalist system which is based on a division of rich and poor, of exploiter and exploited, of winner and loser, shouldn't be saved, but destroyed. The only purposes of the crisis measures that are being carried trough at the moment, only serve to protect the ruling class and their system, while we are taking the beating of their failures.
Now is the time to show that we take our right to our existence back. An existence that we organise and run ourselves, a society based on cooperation and solidarity and not on bureaucracy and exploitation. A society were banks and government will no longer be needed.

In Greece, hundreds of thousands of people went to the streets to defend their right to a good and respectable existence. The struggle of the Greek people is our struggle, it's an international struggle. "It is a struggle for a society that will be determined by the people's needs and not by the banks' interests. It is a struggle for a society with an acceptable standard of living for everybody – working people, students, unemployed and pensioners, not only here but everywhere in the world. It is a struggle for a society where people can organise themselves. It is a struggle for free education and health care for everybody, for equal opportunities and without poverty and inequality." A struggle for selforganisation, solidarity and freedom.

For the beginning of the end of this tragedy that is called the state and the capital. Everyone to the streets: for dignity, for freedom, for Anarchy!

Join the anarchist block! Bring your flags and banners!

Athens: "Tomorrow has come, to banish today" 




"Tomorrow has come, to banish today" (a poster distributed in Athens these days)

The poster below is distributed on the streets of the Northern suburbs of Athens. Making a play of words with a popular saying (the original saying is "the wild animals have come to banish the tamed") the poster reads:

Tomorrow has come to banish today

The crisis has come to confirm that today, same as yesterday, capitalism destroys our lives and lootes nature. The moments are crucial, the consciousness-raising among all of us is vital, action is imperative. Let's meet up, let's organise, take to the streets… Let's revolt!

Tomorrow has come: base trade unions, assemblies of workers and unemployed, popular assemblies, self-organisation of health, libertarian schools, housing occupations, mutual aid networks, solidarity funds, mass indefinite strikes, dislocation of capitalist production and consumption, sabotage of the electoral process, isolation of racist and sexist views, full consciensious objection.

To banish today: Sold-out bureaucratic syndicalism, labour exploitation, dependence of society from party pimps and middle-men, isolation, allienation, individualism, commercialised relationships, desires and everyday conditions. Systemic violence and repression.

Everyone to the streets, to claim back our lost dignity!

Comrades from the North of Athens
