Letter to the comrades of Kyriakos and Marianna.
Kyriakos has left us, he died in an apartment last Thursday. Marianna is seriously wounded in the Evangelismos hospital. Both anarchist comrades present in different scenarios of the struggle. We receive the news with sadness and closeness because the last breath of her life could have been eventually also the last of several of us. Our feelings cannot be more than immense affection and admiration because we know that those who walk the path of the anarchist offensive are valuable and unique in their qualities, contradictions and contributions to the struggle.
Our era is marked by the naturalization of war and death in the service of conflicts between powers, turning loss into a figure, forgetting names and identities. On the other hand, in this, our war against power, we do not forget any face, we do not forget any name. From now on, every 31st of October will be a day in which we, the anarchists of the world are summoned to take a step forward and take up arms against the states, capital and authority, internationally braiding the horizon of anarchy and freedom through attack. None of our dead will be a reference to an old history, they are the present of action and combat.
We can already imagine comrades what they must be facing:crude press statements, lurid images, inaccurate theories, repression and surveillance. Faced with this, the urgency to confront the coarse and lies: it is the precise moment to tell our story and defend it proudly and fiercely.
Recently some thirty young fighters suffered an incendiary accident while they were participating in a day of street fighting at a high school in Santiago de Chile (INBA). Several of them are still in vital risk. The response from the surrounding area has been concise: many people have come forward to donate blood, there have been instances of solidarity to collect money and there have been several expressions of propaganda in the streets, while at the same time resisting the police harassment in the hospitals where our young comrades are fighting minute by minute to live and recover.
We are telling you this because we feel and we understand the pain that unexpectedly looms and floods everything, wounds that in the heat of the hours seem to transform, seem to turn into a labyrinth with no way out. But it is here and in these moments where we must go out to meet the uncontrollable and rabid flight for freedom, without restraint or confusion. Transiting through the genuine, the precariousness and the hard-won, we have learned the bad habit of persisting even when the obstacles seem colossal, consolidating through facts that our only defeat will be not to try.
Incendiaries, nonconformists, restless, unyielding, tireless, irascible: Let us push and give body to our desires to subvert the existing order through the use of all methods of struggle within our reach. We greet with affection and affectionately to your families, comrades, friends and close ones, know that from Chile to Greece we we show our solidarity in these difficult moments.
Anarchist comrade Kyriakos Present!
Strength and courage to comrade Marianna Manoura.
Solidarity with the arrested and persecuted.
Forward the anarchist urban guerrilla.
