I would be well up for going especially if there are plans for a fair universal constitutions with cooperative delegation to ensure cliques of holy revolutionary humanagment dont use "consensus"for snafu& to shit on anyone they see as a threat.
I ve seen alot of violence& unless Iam directly&deliberately attacked or poisoned, theres a recognisable pattern nutzis & right wing corporates encouraging groups like Golden Dawn to help impliment a strategy of tension & increase their power. I havent been to Greece yet because I get the impression many greek anarchists see every policeman as the enemy, Ive felt like for the first 15 years of activism, its orwellian.
Please watch sons of anarchy on piratebay, its great though I find non lethal force & spacehijacking far better& more fun;)
