    I wonder how many of the fucking cops had Celtic Crosses in their wallets. This is absolute bullshit.

    Fuck you, Greek Parliament. And fuck Kasidiaris, too.


    Best of hopes to all our comrades in the KKE, PAME, Rocinante and all of the other groups associated for the current union protests.

    Not to push this thread into a sectarian *****fest but I do think its telling this mostly targets the anarchists, some trotskyst and maoist radicals, activists from the free/base unions and even syriza affiliated groups while KKE etc can fulfil their role as sanctioned pressure valve completely unhindered. In fact, the Greeks are already using the general-strike declarations as indications when the next vote on new austerity rounds are, "strangely" enough the unions always manage to call the next general strike and mass march in the week before the next vote even when the vote date is supposedly a tightly kept secret...

    Agreed, hope the comrades arrested aren't mistreated too much during their detention and get out soon.

    Why just fuck the greek authorities? Fuck capitalism. The police is just one of the means capitalism is using.

    Anyway my cousin in Athens is telling me that they can't even walk properly around the center of the city. Somebody must tell them that if the people don't want someone inside the country they shouldn't restricte the people in the country but CANCEL THE VISIT!
