A-Infos (en) Greece, protaanka ac: It is not national mourning - It is not the unfortunate moment (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In the state death statistics thousands are the people who lose their lives and 
are classified as numbers without mentions and drumbeats. The news of their death 
is but a brief mention in the news bulletins and the report columns that is soon 
forgotten. Labor "accidents", deaths at the borders and the seas, suicides for 
class reasons, murders of immigrants in the A.T. they are just some of the 
examples of people who do not die as "heroes" and "national legends" but as 
"numbers" and "short news" that only a few and primarily those close to them 
remember. Sometimes there are those deaths that cannot be drowned in the 
numerical painlessness of state statistics, not because the state suddenly 
becomes "sensitive" but because its responsibilities cannot be covered up. And 
then the declaration of "national mourning", the mentions and the beating of the 
drums arise as the dirty means of washing away his responsibilities.

There are undeniably deaths from natural disasters with or without state 
responsibility. There are deaths from "human errors", from "unfortunate moments" 
and from "fatal coincidences". But there are also deaths that may well be defined 
as state and class crimes. The unspeakable tragedy that unfolded in Tempe is one 
such case, a premeditated crime that workers through their union bodies warned 
was only a matter of time before it happened. In fact, they saved not only the 
accident but also the "crocodile tears" of the politicians. No one can feign 
ignorance, and no one is morally and socially justified in placing the burden of 
blame on a single official when it comes to a crime with structural state 
responsibilities, treading on a long-standing strategy of devaluing resources and 
which miraculously had no has so far led to other deaths of workers and 
passengers in the numerous examples of "accidents" that had preceded it. It is 
certainly not enough even the pretentious and communicative resignations to 
appease the righteous social anger and the replacement of the persons in 
ministerial positions with the bourgeois politics itself and the capitalists 
staying on fire.

If something is certain and largely rooted in the consciousness of the social 
majority, even in a general way of accepting the situation, it is that the state, 
capitalists and governments are responsible for the deaths in Tempe. From the 
privatization of OSE beer in the context of the "first time left" memorandum 
commitments and Tsipras' triumphalisms at the time, to the statements of New 
Democracy officials such as e.g. of Hatzidakis, intertwined with anti-labor bills 
for the "sanitization" of the OSE thanks to the sale of the "most problematic 
business in Europe", the government and state responsibilities are a given and 
have been publicly assumed. The culprits are in parliament, in government 
positions and in capitalist companies. They have names and addresses. They are 
all those who, for the sake of profit, devalued every safety measure, left 
positions understaffed, abandoned the railways in medieval operating conditions 
while technological progress has reached unimaginable levels in a very short 
historical time.

In those wagons in which so many people of our class lost their lives and so many 
others are still ignored or gloating, it could be anyone of us. These lines of 
the sapiotrains of "neoliberal consolidation" are not used by those with wealth, 
power and positions, which is why mourning is not "national" but class, popular, 
social mourning, for our fellow human beings. If these bastards used them they 
wouldn't bump into each other, they wouldn't coordinate in that antiquated way, 
and popular instinct knows this all too well. The occupants would enjoy the 
safety of the journey amid the smell of caviar rather than the smell of burnt 
sheet metal amid screams, pain and the horror of death. The world of the state 
and the bourgeoisie and our world, the world of work, toil, uncertainty within 
this world but always full of hope youth are separated by blood. They are worlds 
irreconcilable, worlds in constant conflict, worlds at war until the final 
predominance of our own world, that of freedom, equality, social justice, mutual 
aid, anarchy.

Although times are difficult and our social, class and revolutionary ethics 
dictate immediate responses of outrage, we must say that against the systemically 
bounded dilemma between the neoliberal "small state" and the social democratic 
"bigger" state that is re-emerging, the our answer is clear: no state! The need 
to develop a plan for direct socializations of resources, services and means of 
production, not to erect "islands of freedom" but within a revolutionary program 
of overturning, is more urgent than ever. All for all, by us for us, only we 
ourselves can build the world on the buoy of our needs and desires, for the 
collective benefit and not the individual gains of the few.

We owe it to the dead of our class, to every lost fellow human being, to fight 
for a better world. Both directly claiming anything that will improve our living 
conditions and looking at the complete overthrow of the existing exploitative, 
oppressive and unjust world. Because, honor to our dead fellow human beings is 
the fight against the constant class crime and social injustices that result from 
this rotten, outdated system of capitalism and the state and not in any way its 
maintenance and perpetuation.

We support all movements
