Well done to the Greek comrades. I call myself a Leninist but I am envious of the militancy being displayed by the anarchists.

That is important ‘action’ and now we need the communist revolutionary ‘theory’ for taking power completely.

Didin't see the Anarchists do much TBH. Good show of solidarity though I suppose.

“Solidarity” only and uncritically is what we might expect from trades unionists perhaps and other traders etc.

Theoretical explanation and criticism of the class situation is what anachist revolutionaries should be attempting by now.

In all fairness, how do you know who is an anarchist in that video?

Obviously its safe to assume that the people with black and red flags are, but you're seemingly implying that other individuals are not.

Well, to me it looks like it is the street vendors themselfes mostly driving the cops off.

Street vendors can't be anarchists?:o

Why they are not waving red and black flags and wearing motorcycle helmets so of course they can't. ;)

Will be interesting to see what kind of spin the KKE supporters are going to give this.

AFAIK, and as someone who could hardly be classified as a supporter of the KKE, they have done similar things.

Where is somebody to come in and decry the street merchants as "small business owners"?

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Take note: always have trash-cans and pallets ready.

:D

They ARE petite bourgeois.

What they do is just sell stuff that is imported en masse by who knows whom.
So even if someone wanted to go there, they can't.

I'm pretty sure Rafiq was being sarcastic because it has been alleged by people somewhat recently that poor people who sell things on the street are "small business owners".

I am thinking more about AttackGR.

Yeah, I saw your comment where you "challenge people to say it" after I posted mine.
Anyway, just leave it there so it won't be said for real.

It doesn't matter if they are anarchists or not. It isn't relevant. What is relevant is that workers and students drove those pigs out. Please stop the argument over their political ideology...
