New Year in Greece celebrated with demos (Athens; everywhere), prison visits (Korydallos, athens), tear gas? (Thessaloniki), Xmas tree burning (Larissa) and more!

Needless to say if they thought were scared, they were wrong!

giving anarchism a poor name, eh?
difficult to control isnt it low quality damage - a bit addictive.
how are you going to cope if there is a need to be accountable for your actions
or does that scare you?
notice no swearing used in my dissent - no bombs, or blood shed and hence no damage done - eh!!

the change to direct democracy that they want.Anarchists in Greece had sympathy of millions now what? doesnt it say everything that nazi members of Golden Dawn were seen by multiple witnesses & photo'd working with police provoking,attacking people & burning attacking shops themselves. The greek anarchists limit their attacks to property & as described by a UK military expert via a friend in the BBC in Greece recently with decades of experience in N.Ireland, their is a uwritten rule between protesters & police usually not to seriously hurt anyone.
It was the Golden Dawn police member & their other squads that broke that rule he wrote about & its they who murder innocent refugees. We need true social & economic democracy, an end to the false ecnonomy now, not crass violence of any kind.
