A Brief Greeting from Dimitris Koufontinas

A brief greeting from Dimitris Koufontinas from the special prison of Domokos, for the presentation of his book “The Revolutionary Organization November 17. 13 Answers from Prison” in Milan [Occupied Bakery, 17/04/2025]

I am very happy that today I find myself with my mind together with you in Milan, for the presentation of the book “13 answers”, translated by comrade Leonidas.

This year coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first armed action of the November 17 Revolutionary Organization, in December 1975 against the head of the CIA in Greece. This is a further reason for a broader discussion, with the distance of time, for the armed counter-violence movement in our countries and around the world.

In this little book there is no simple account of the facts of the Greek version of this movement. If we want to get closer to the truth, we cannot isolate it from its historical roots, we cannot exclude it from the totality of the historical process, from the path of social evolution, from the international conjuncture and from the geostrategy of the movement throughout the world.

17N always considered itself as part of the current of resistance that runs through the history of our earth, and as part of the broader current of the resistance of peoples. The answers it gave as well as its evolutionary path are similar to the answers that have been given in other lands and to the evolutionary path of other movements in other countries.

In my opinion, in addition to the warning that the weak can make the powerful tremble, the most important contribution of the 17N was its adherence to ideological warfare, in the attempt to interpret reality by the socially active, in the face of the dominant lie and its organized reproduction. In an attempt not to rewrite history.

The edition of this book, as well as today’s debate, are part of this ongoing ideological struggle, as an attempt to be useful to those who seek their own paths to social liberation.

Today we celebrate the Athens Polytechnic Uprising, a student revolution that was the catalyst for bringing down the Greek Junta of 1967.

Fuck fascism. The state is the enemy.
