"In early October, a peculiar news item barely made its way into the back pages of Greek national press: in the northern city of Veria, a small group of people had started reconnecting the electricity supply of households disconnected from the national grid due to bill non-payment. This kind of solidarity action seemed rather abnormal."

this is what modern communization will look like

"revolutionary consciousness" doesn't exist. people change their habits as they fight the world and are moved by necessity to wage war against it. not by gaining "revolutionary consciousness" through cadre
