Anarchist panic and the Greek State

"The continuous expansion and ever more ridiculous implementation of anti-terrorist laws is a shared reality across many countries. We have reached a point where anyone who protests or campaigns for a better world knows that anti-terrorist laws could be brought into play at any moment. The question of how to respond is then more pressing than ever."

"The anarchists were never able to directly challenge the anti-terrorist laws, but they were able to push back against aspects of their implementation and turn a method of social control into a potential spark for unrest. During times when social movements struggle to respond, the State will always seek to advance the scope of its control, with anti-terrorism being the sword. However, when it is possible to mount a sustained and strong response, that sword can be double-edged."
