A-Infos (en) Greece: Anarchist calling for a general strike on February 20 by colectivo libertario evora (pt) [machine translation]

Faced with the frontal attack of the state and employers have to oppose our struggles 
combative, emancipated and organized in a horizontal manner. ---- The systemic crisis of 
capitalism is something that puts light on his antisocial character real. The pretenses 
and appearances were set aside and the Power began a brutal attack against the oppressed 
and exploited layers of society, with the ultimate goal lead us to a state of indigence 
worse and increase the social and class difference between the powerful and the exploited. 
The transformation of the system of power in a system of modern totalitarianism in recent 
years is reflected in the unprecedented attacks that the state began performing.

The expulsion of many spaces, demonstrations forced the strikers, as a way to suppress the 
strikes, the cruel tortures of fighters with a clear objective to "illustrate" and 
intimidate the murderous attacks against state and parastatal immigrants, are phenomena 
that make offensive part of total state and employers. It is an attack against the entire 
society. And is society itself and the class of the oppressed who must repel this attack, 
by organizing at the base, the deepening and broadening of social resistance and the 
creation of a society of solidarity, equality and freedom.

The offensive of the bosses addresses with a particular intensity, to the world of workers 
and the unemployed. The regime is imposing indigence to society through wage cuts, the 
abolition of collective bargaining agreements, the outlawing of class struggles, the 
attack they receive by means of massive misinformation, lack of satisfaction of basic 
social needs, the exclusion of large sectors of society access to them and increasing 
cases of blackmail in dismissals on the grounds of unemployment. Given this situation the 
oppressed can not have illusions. The promises of a return to a previous state as given by 
the Left have requirements abdication, institutional mediation and negotiate with 
employers. Work objectively in a way to appeasing the anger accumulated social and 
constitute a barrier to building a social movement and labor emancipated, organized from 
below, whose aim is the abolition of exploitation of man by man.

The general strike of February 20, convened by direction, sold to employers, the General 
Confederation of Greek Workers, is a one-day strike, about which we have no illusions. It 
is not the result of an escalation of the struggles of the working class and coordinated 
resistance. During the previous workers' struggles came to a standstill due to the 
features that have been imposed by the logic of bureaucracy fed by the state of unionism. 
These features never allowed workers' struggles to connect and join secondary, but led 
them to exclusion and defeat.

In an environment in which the offensive and the State Capital becomes a complete and 
coordinated manner, the workers have remained far apart, the unions have failed in their 
hands and saw the struggles that are triggered headed by union bosses.

Opposing us to this situation, to February 20 we all go out to the street. To oppose both 
the state as the Capital and the union bosses. Because each time the oppressed and the 
exploited go together is always a great opportunity. An opportunity to ruin their plans. 
Our massive presence and fighting in the street can contribute to that anger is expressed 
and can give life to the struggle and the resistance perspective emancipated and organized 
in a horizontal way. Because every fight he has in him the hope, even minimal, taking 
fuller forms, must be strengthened.

Against submission, slavery and social misery being promoted only alernativa is to 
organize our lives away from any kind of hierarchies, institutions and mediation

Counterattack and social class, for a free and self-organized.

Social revolution for communism and anarchy.

Assembly of the anarchist social self-organization.
