(en) Greece, A CALL FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL
Date

Politicians and journalists bragg around, trying to impose on our movement their own failling
rationality. We would revolt because our government is corrupted or because we'd like more of their
money, more of their jobs. ---- If we break the banks it's because we recognize money as one of the
central cause of our sadness, if we break down shop windows it's not because life is expensive but
because commodity prevent us from living, at all cost. If we attack the police scum, it's not only
to avenge our dead comrades but because between this world and the one we desire, they will always
be an obstacle. ---- We know that the time has come for us to think strategically. In this
Imperial time we know that the condition of a victorious insurrection is that it spreads, at least,
on a european level. Those last years we've seen and we've learnt:
The counter-summits worldwide, students and suburban riots in France, the No-Tav movement in Italy,
the Oaxaca commune, Montreal's riots, the offensive defense of the Ungdomshuset squat in
Copenhagen, riots against the Republican National Convention in the USA, the list goes on.
Born in the catastrophe, we're the children of all crisis: political, social, economical,
ecological. We know this world is a dead-end. You have to be crazy to cling on its ruins. You have
to be wise to self-organize.
There's an obviousness in the total rejection of party politics and organizations, they're part of
the old world. We're the spoiled children of this society and we don't want anything from it.
That's the ultimate sin they'll never forgive us. Behind the black masks, we are your children. And
we're getting organized
We would not make so much efforts to destroy the materiality of this world, its banks, its
supermarkets, its police-station if we didn't know that at the same time we undermine its very
metaphysic, its ideals, its ideas and its rationality.
The media would describe last week events as an expression of nihilism. What they don't get is that
in the very process of assaulting and harrassing this reality, we experience a higher form of
community, of sharing, a higher form of spontaneous and joyous organisation which sets the basis of
a different world.
One could say our revolt finds its own limit in the very fact it only creates pure destruction.
That would be true if, beside the street fights, we hadn't set up the necessary organisation that
requires a long term movement: canteens provided by regular looting, infirmaries to heal our own
wounded, the means to print our own newspapers, our own radio. As we liberate territory from the
empire of the State and its police, we have to occupy it, to fill it and to transform its uses so
it can serve the movement. So the movement never stops to grow.
All over Europe, governments tremble. For sure what scares them the most are not local copycat
riots but the very possibility that the western youth finds common cause and rises as one to give
this society its final blow.
This is a call to all those who hear it:
From Berlin to Madrid, from London to Tarnac, everything becomes possible.
Solidarity must become complicity. Confrontations have to spread. Communes need to be declared.
So that the situation never goes back to normal. So that the ideas and practices that link us to
one another become actual bounds.
So that we can stay ungovernable.
Revolutionary salute to all our comrades worldwide. To all the prisonners, we'll get you out!
