“Cops – judges – politicians have no reason to sleep in peace.”
For about two months now, comrade Giannis Michailidis has been fighting a dignified struggle from the cells of democracy with the aim of his release by the last resort of a hunger strike. The values of a rebellious life are condensed in the face of the comrade and his choices in the context of the struggle against the tyranny of power highlight the consistency and refusal to submit to the dictates of the state. From the battles at the barricades with the forces of repression, to the expropriation of a bank in a state of illegality, the comrade remains firm in the tradition of anarchists who for two centuries have used every available means in the struggle for freedom.
It is precisely this intransigent attitude that puts him in the crosshairs of the state-judicial complex that chooses his torture and slow death, revealing the true role of bourgeois justice. It is in fact the mechanism for the material and moral extermination of those who resist the capitalist system and the culture it represents. But the comrade is not alone in this struggle, he has by his side all those who actively challenge the rotten establishment.
Thus, in response to the call of revolutionary solidarity and in the context of the coordination of aggressive actions, we take responsibility for the placing of an incendiary device at the house of the Vice President of the Supreme Court Dimitris Krani in the area of Papagos, on July 9. We chose a high-ranking man with a rich career in the judiciary, who went on to become deputy minister of justice in 2019, and decided to make fear his experience as well, by bringing the hostilities to his quiet neighborhood. We were careful to limit the force of the strike to the extent that it would not endanger the two dogs running free in his backyard, because we do not subscribe to the logic of collateral damage. We have therefore sacrificed some of the scope that a larger explosion would have had in the public area, while sending a clear message to him and his colleagues. The moment of crisis will come for them too.
By our action we are holding accountable the treacherous judges who make judgments and interpret the law as they see fit, sentencing or releasing people, not on the basis of rules of human law but always on the basis of criteria for maintaining the order of the regime. Their decisions will have consequences and the legal violence they use on a daily basis will be returned to those who build careers by burying lives and distorting the sense of justice.
State morality, as expressed by ruthless little men of small stature and excessive servility, is nothing more than the imprint of the state’s terror on the bodies of the poor and rebellious, that is, those who are outside it either by choice or by virtue of their class origin. It is a power morality that simply uses the social feelings of the people for the purpose of controlling and disciplining them by the ruling class, justifying over them every form of violence that often goes as far as their extermination.
The social/class war is reflected in the decisions of the bourgeois justice that covers the bosses and their minions. According to it, in Perama, ten armed cops were in danger from three unarmed young gypsy boys and their execution was justified; the lynching of Zac Kostopoulos by the little bosses Hortaria and Dimopoulos and the cops is not recognized as a crime because they all remain out of jail; as well as child rapists (Director of the National Theatre Lignadis) and rapists of women (scions of the financial elite Leventis family) are treated favourably or even fully covered.
It is therefore obvious that the laws are not applied equally to all, and will not happen since it is the arsenal of the state that is directed exclusively against the oppressed. We therefore recognize the existence of two opposing camps. One of which has at its disposal all the institutions and mechanisms that perpetuate its domination, within which any attempt at change is futile. For our part, we consider it necessary to adopt a radical political conception that will allow us to develop our action outside the narrow confines of rightism in a subversive direction.
From this will emerge the mode of organisation, the effectiveness of which will depend on our adaptability to current conditions combined with the upgrading of the strikes. With flexible direct action cells that will coordinate their actions by attempting autonomously to take the attack to the enemy’s backyards and homes. To develop revolutionary power by converging as much as possible on common strategies, with the aim of bringing the social/class war to the fore.
