Hi! #fedihelp #DANA #Valencia  
I'm gathering up academia-related mentions of the #CLER ("Comités Locals d'Emergència i Reconstrucció"), and I got this handful so far:
https://comiteslocals.org/category/universitats/

So, if you're in the social sciences (#geography, #climate, but also #politicalscience or #anarchist studies I guess?), could you help us find the ones I missed?

Or, even better, contact us, do some research and publish your own?

Thanks a bunch!

Greece: Eternal Honour to the Anarchist—Member of the Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas

HONOR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST –
MEMBER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE, LAMBROS FOUNTAS

On March 10, 2010, in Dafni, preparations for a major operation by Revolutionary Struggle aimed at sabotaging the enforcement of the “memorandum” were in their final stages. The attempt to seize a vehicle that the organisation would use for this action resulted in a clash with the cops. Comrade Lambros Fountas, our beloved comrade-in-arms in the struggle, was killed. Nothing would ever be the same again.

The Revolutionary Struggle—the struggle to block the “memorandum,” the struggle to overthrow the ruling regime and bring about social revolution—suffered a severe blow. The organisation had publicly stated that it anticipated the Greek state’s bankruptcy as a consequence of the 2008 global economic crisis and had demonstrated the scale of its actions, primarily through the bombing of the stock exchange in September 2009. It had spoken of its goals and the opportunities that the economic crisis and the widespread delegitimisation of the political and economic system during that period would open up. It had publicly declared that the only way out of the crisis would be a Social Revolution.

A month later, the first crackdown against the organisation took place, along with the arrests.

The death of our comrade was a very significant event. It was significant not only for us, his comrades in Revolutionary Struggle, and not only for the anarchist movement in which he had been actively involved for many years and was particularly beloved by all his comrades. It was not only significant for Revolutionary Struggle, whose activities had been frozen for two years.

Above all, it was significant for the overwhelming majority of society, which was mercilessly battered by the devastating storm of loan agreements. Lambros was an integral part of a strategy of armed action that unfolded with the onset of the economic crisis and sought, through strikes of great political and economic significance, to prevent the political and economic system—which at that time was in a state of great instability and deep crisis—from regaining its stability.

For the loan agreements to be approved, social and political stability was a prerequisite. Armed action aimed at preventing the achievement of this goal, carried out through dynamic and effective measures, would have turned the Greek capitalist system into a dangerous arena because it would be vulnerable to armed attacks; this action would act as a brake on creditors’ decisions to transfer their capital to the country and lend to governments that would be unable to impose social and political control. Because the most decisive factor for the state and capital to overcome their systemic crises is the maintenance of faith in the system itself.

By 2010, confidence had collapsed within the global financial system. No economic or political actor trusted any credit or investment organisation or institution. No one trusted the Greek governments or the Greek banks. Because no one trusted any bank worldwide. In short, within the economic and political system, no one trusted anyone, and faith in the system of power itself had been deeply shaken.

The collapse of this trust was, for the first time in capitalist history, of such a large scale and significance. It was a structural factor in the collapse of capitalist functioning in the country and the de facto bankruptcy of the Greek state.

The loan agreements, with the onerous terms imposed, were intended to prevent an admission of bankruptcy. These were loan agreements designed to save the banks in Greece and Europe, to save the economic ruling class, to save the system—not the social base. This was the “bitter” realisation that the overwhelming majority of society eventually came to understand.

Comrade Lambros Fountas and his actions, the actions of Revolutionary Struggle during that period, sought to ensure that faith in the capitalist system and its re-stabilisation would not find fertile ground. Alongside the social reactions and uprisings of those years, Comrade Fountas’ actions could have become a significant factor in the overall struggle to prevent the “memorandum” from being passed. Comrade Lambros Fountas was destined to become the figure who embodied all the anxiety of society during that period. Because he was the armed fighter of all those who resisted the troika and the institutions, the Greek state, and the policies of social extermination for the economic “consolidation” of the capitalist system. Because he is the first and the last casualty of the struggle against the “memorandum.” Because he was and remains the voice of the necessity—then, now, and always—of the Social Revolution.

Today, sixteen years later, we are living through the aftermath of a profound political, economic, and social transformation that began with the 2008 economic crisis and the “memorandum” era. Because what was at stake in 2010 was not just the lending terms of the “memorandaum” the cuts to wages and pensions, the layoffs, or the closures of small businesses. Through these policies, a new model of power was established, and that period marked a historic turning point for the transformation of the capitalist system and modern state power. The “experiment” implemented in our country by lenders and supranational economic and political institutions did not concern only us; it concerned and continues to concern all countries.

It was an “experiment” that was imposed and cemented in the blood of an entire people, with thousands of suicides, with untreated illnesses, with children fainting in schools from hunger, with the conditions of a modern occupation and violence that became the norm for the years that followed, right up to the present day. It was an unprecedented class war. With this “experiment,” the centers of power in Europe and the world were asking “if a people like this, with its history of struggle and resistance, could endure the harsh measures we impose without revolting, then the most totalitarian control and the imposition of the most extreme measures of economic exploitation on any other people is possible.”

The fear of a social revolution in Greece in 2010 tormented all those in positions of political and economic power in Europe and beyond. They had explicitly stated, publicly and without mincing words, that a revolution in this country was a possible outcome. They themselves believed that there were subjective factors that could give impetus to such a development. Among the factors contributing to this fear, they considered the armed activities of Revolutionary Struggle, which were reaching their peak at that time, to be significant. Their fear was not limited to domestic destabilisation. A revolution, if it had taken place, would have swept up the countries of southern Europe and triggered a domino effect of capitalist collapses and social uprisings. Lambros Fountas’ actions sought to make this fear a reality.

In the end, the social backlash was not strong enough to prevent the imposition of the “memorandum,” a prevention that could not have been achieved without overthrowing the country’s political and economic power structure. This is the ultimate historical conclusion of that period.

Nothing has improved in the living conditions of the social majority, which is experiencing its own long-term and never-ending economic crisis that is reaching the brink of social collapse. On the contrary, the “resilience” shown by the social base in the face of the rapid rise in poverty during that period paved the way for the consolidation of the contemporary model of exploitation and oppression by the state and capital. The transformation that began then and was consolidated through ineffective social resistance gave rise to the cannibalistic system in a social context dominated by the illusion of the possibility of “individual detachment.” In other words, a context dominated by social defeatism, introversion, and resignation.

While official economic data paint a picture of economic prosperity for the wealthy in this country, the majority of people are sinking deeper and deeper into endless poverty. Greek debt is far higher than it was in 2010, yet faith in the Greek state’s resilience makes the country a model of subjugation for the extraction of profits and the security of capital investments. The loan agreements from the “memorandum” era will remain in force, along with their terms, for many more decades, and new debt will be added to the old, which future generations will be forced to shoulder.

As for the 2008 economic crisis, the greatest that modern capitalism has ever experienced, it never ended. The economic and political centers of power are still attempting to manage it with the same tools and formulas that created it. The concentration of economic, political, and social power in the hands of an ever-smaller few—which was the most decisive factor in the outbreak of the 2008 crisis— has now reached even more extreme levels, and class divisions across the globe have turned the gap between great wealth and poverty into an abyss.

The lack of a clear path out of the crisis is leading to the head-on transnational conflicts the world is currently experiencing. States, led by the United States, Israel, and Europe, are now revealing the true face of the state as an institution of centralized power and control over societies—manifested in brutal military and police violence, wars, and boundless repression. They are revealing in all its magnitude their hostile nature toward societies, the murderous nature of capitalism both within and beyond borders, and are bringing us ever closer to a catastrophic, all-out war.

The radical transformation of the system of power and the revelation of its true nature came about as a result of the dead ends created by the crisis, combined with the absence of radical social resistance and the unrestrained use of multifaceted methods to enforce social compliance with living conditions that are increasingly unbearable for the social majority. Housing, food, and health are no longer guaranteed for the largest segment of society, and even the minimal degree of their guarantee requires ever greater sacrifices. The social and political threat has ceased to exist following the suppression of the social resistance of 2010–12 and no longer concerns the centers of power. State control and violence are increasing more and more as this social threat from below fails to reemerge.

Since no revolutionary movement in 2010–2011 managed to halt or overturn the destructive policies that the state and capital had imposed on the country, a defeatist mindset—based on the assumption that nothing can be stopped or changed—has become ingrained in the social fabric. What the end of the struggles achieved back then was a profound psychological transformation of a society that accepted living without pride, without its dignity. Because these two factors were then, and will always be, decisive for a society that refuses to bow its head.

Comrade Lambros Fountas was, is, and will forever remain the example of the revolutionary who, with a weapon in hand, fought to prevent the defeat and subjugation of an entire society from becoming a reality. He will remain the light that enlivens the dignity, courage, and pride of anarchists, revolutionaries, and the oppressed. His struggle was the struggle of this society that did not want subjugation, did not want to bow its head.

Comrade Lambros Fountas embodies that unwavering dignity and fighting spirit that any struggle must possess to be victorious. That is why he is the champion of all the oppressed. He is and will forever remain the fighter who shows that the only way out of modern slavery, of daily social humiliation, the only way out of capitalist and state barbarism, wars, the threat of death—the only way out to a life of freedom, to a life of dignity—is the Social Revolution. We honor Lambros Fountas not only for who he was and what we knew of him, but also for everything he stood for. We honor him because he himself was the bearer of radical social change. He was the bearer of a society of equality and freedom

LAMBROS FOUNTAS WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THE STRUGGLE

FOR SOCIAL REVOLUTION

OPERACJA BIAŁYSTOK cz. II

Prosta odpowiedź na pytanie: „dlaczego Białystok?” jest taka, że owa operacja policyjna zmierzała do powiązania aresztowanych aktywistów z niedawno wydanym włoskim przekładem hiszpańskojęzycznej publikacji Anarquistas de Białystok, 1903–1908. Książka została opublikowana w 2009 r. przez Furia Apátrida i Edicions Anomia w Barcelonie i Manresie jako anonimowa kompilacja źródeł oryginalnie powstałych w języku rosyjskim, angielskim, jidysz i hiszpańskim. Ten zbiór autobiograficznych świadectw, esejów, ulotek politycznych i nekrologów koncentrował się na osobistych historiach aktywistów z Białegostoku, Krynek i okolicy, pełniąc przede wszystkich rolę niezastąpionego źródła archiwalnego dla badaczy i aktywistów pragnących zrozumieć ruch rewolucyjny w początkach XX w. oraz kulturową i polityczną historię regionu. Spoglądając wstecz na Białystok, anarchiści starają się na nowo zadzierzgnąć transhistoryczną i transnarodową „czarną nić”, jaka wiąże niegdysiejszy anarchizm z praktyką insurekcyjną, ponownie wprowadzając do „kanonu” radykalne taktyki i historie życiowe tamtego krótkiego, lecz intensywnego okresu.

OPERACJA BIAŁYSTOK cz. I

O świcie 12 czerwca 2020 r. siedmiu „niebezpiecznych anarchistów” zostało aresztowanych we Włoszech, Hiszpanii i Francji, a na rzymskie centrum społeczne Bencivenga Occupato przeprowadzono nalot policyjny pod zarzutem stanowienia głównej siedziby rzekomej „komórki” anarchistycznej, o przynależność do której oskarżano aresztowanych. Kryptonim tej międzynarodowej akcji, przeprowadzonej przez elitarną jednostkę ROS (Specjalna Grupa Operacyjna) włoskich karabinierów we współpracy z policją centralną we Francji i hiszpańską policją państwową, był zaskakujący: „Operacja Białystok”. Jakie mogły być powody nadania kampanii „antyterrorystycznej” wymierzonej w anarchistów z basenu Morza Śródziemnego nazwy średniej wielkości miasta w północno-wschodniej Polsce? Pytanie to nie tylko łączy działania białostockich anarchistów z początku XX w. ze współczesnymi aktami politycznej niezgody, ale także oferuje spojrzenie na ewolucję, represję i reprezentację anarchizmu w naszych czasach – czasach globalnych kryzysów politycznych i ekologicznych.

The US-Israeli War with Iran Spreads, Nuclear Weapons, Lebanon and Anti-Imperial Solidarity (with Elia Ayoub)

Claim for Arson Attacks on Police Houses by Anarchist Core “Lambros Fountas”

We take responsibility for the arson attacks on the houses of police officers of the MAT group at 12 Athanatalon Street in Sepolia, on 9/2, where Andreas Polygenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani, on 24/2, as well as the house of a police officer of the OPKE group at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarchia, on 7/3. We dedicate these actions to the memory of the anarchist comrade and member of the Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Daphne on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a model fighter who promoted the multifaceted struggle with the goal of social revolution. He participated in all the lengths and breadths of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, clashes with repression units to revolutionary armed struggle.

The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident; we are counterattacking the aggressors of our dreams. To those who rape in A.T. , to those who mercilessly beat up immigrants, to those who guard the streets like the “eminent” health minister, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, like the one on 31/10 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris. With those who suppress our lives, there must be no truce.

We speak the language of social and class liberation, the language of political counter-violence as a contrast to the language of state terrorism, discipline, cruel exploitation, moral degradation and the impasse of capitalist individualism. We defend direct action and the targeting of those who dominate us and shamelessly contribute to the shaping of this warlike reality; from the mass media that constructs pulverized consciences immersed in alienation, the bourgeois justice that blindly serves the interests of the economic and political elite, the wage slavery camps that crave death, to the bastards of the ELAS with their unbridled authoritarian arrogance.

In the current period of fragmentation of social movements, weakening of the anarchist space, generalized inertia and defeatism, let us preserve our political projects intact, make direct confrontation with the enemy our foremost priority until fear changes sides, and externalize our vision for a world of equality, solidarity, freedom and selflessness.
