What’s happening in Greece? Just over one year ago, the shooting of teenager Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the police fired a massive scale reaction from the anti-authoritarian youth. The riots kicked off (and still go on) in a country facing a big economic crisis, but what impresses us most is the determination and resistance of this movement. Their aim is a complete change in state and society: so should we dare to speak the word? A revolution. Then, another important item for a discussion: a couple of months ago Alfredo Bonanno, one of the most controversial and known figures of insurrectionary anarchism, was arrested in Greece along with Christos Stratigopoulos shortly after a bank robbery had taken place. He’s now held in prison under conditions that are unbearable for anyone, and less for an old, sick, brave man who has already been deprived of his freedom for a long time.
Join us if you’re interested in knowing more about the actual situation in Greece, in learning more about struggles against the appalling conditions in Greek jails and news concerning the particularly severe conditions of detention of Alfredo and Christos.

For all of those not in the beast of the UK, can someone take video and post this up somewhere? That’d be pretty awesome.
I know the OL lot are notoriously camera-shy, but then again can’t speak for them
But a podcast is a good idea – admin: perhaps an mp3 recording, or even just a transcript would be nice…
Just sending this link about qsome of the contradictions of what’s happening there:

oops, shitheads… ouzo’s out, hmm?
no prob, i got raki!
a discussion about guerilla forces or armed propaganda isn’t allowed by all means by all fighters. decission made on 6th of dec!
problem is not only paranoia but a developement. what will you do after you were deciding not to be a bomber and you find out ya wanna be? solution: too old!
that’s meant by “answers: in fight” understand that politics are only a structure of the man to canalize resistance. anti-politics means to act in a way without explanations. if ya smash or rob a bank everybody understands, also anti-politics offers something that no undercover-cop or faschist can use. in a ongoing greek revolution there will be no time for blabla anymore. ya gotta take ya stand and if ya can’t be supportive by making ya own revolution just leave it…
