Thessaloniki, Greece: Expropriation of supermarket

Shoplifting!

To overcome fear. TAKE OUR LIVES IN OUR HANDS  In recent years, we have seen each day increasingly dominated by extreme poverty and exploitation. Through our inability to meet our needs, it becomes an obvious conclusion: that our life is not determined by us but by others on the basis of market conditions and profit for the bosses, local and foreign. In recent years, we have seen that the system has unleashed an all-out assault to protect its interests. The police have become the military occupation of cities. Fear and terror, the main media propaganda. Under a regime of permanent threat, the bosses invite us to compromise and apathy or manufactured decisions or more insidious methods that give the illusion of choice, such as the referendum.

 

Beyond the dilemmas of power, to overcome inertia and fear.

To not delegate the solution of our problems to those who created them.

The oppressed must take our lives in our hands.

Faced with the dilemma: Memorandum of lenders or Memorandum of SYRIZA respond with self-organization and rupture, from both foreign and local bosses and their armies.

Against the legality of the exploiters that keeps us slaves, to respond with direct action of the oppressed and collective self-organization of life and struggle.

  • Refusal of obedience to the dictates of the bosses
  • Refusal of payments (tickets, accounts, bank debt, taxes)
  • Creation of collective structures to cover our needs (squats, collective kitchens)
  • Solidarity between the oppressed building communities
  • Get back from the bosses everything we produced with sweat and blood
  • Expropriation of accumulated wealth
  • Reinforcement of our communities to organize self-defense and attack our oppressors


Saturday 11/7 comrades proceeded to the expropriation of the “VENUS” supermarket in the March area, on the eastern side of Thessaloniki. Products were expropriated especially basic necessities (oil, pasta, legumes, etc.) and shared out at an adjacent street market with the positive response of the people taking the products and welcoming the move.

Just robbing out all of that market maybe from another left wing private owner wich destroys his existence solves all your problems with the goverment.

This has nothing to do with the time when Emma Goldman did recommend this to poor workers to get bread.

I clap my hands in sarcsam, you anticapitalist superhero.

Im glad that i take care about refugees and try to help the people instead of doing shit wich doesnt make any sense.

Go and help the Refugees or do some social work or antifascistic in your squat instead of wasting your time with shit where you could get 3 years in prison for stealing a fookin 2 euro sausage you dumbdumb.

nice that you are privileged enough to think helping refugees (which you don't know if these people do too) is the one and only form of activism.

 

you live in germany, have pretty cosy ciscumstances and neither you nor your friends/family/... are in a situation like people in greece right now - but from your high and mighty horse you decide for others which action is ok and which one isn't.

 

i clap my hands in sarcasm for your arrogance, your pretentiousness and your small horizon!

Ive seen the so called "anticapitalistic fight" of your kind often here in Berlin Kreuzberg. At the 1st of may the rich kids, the hooligans and the revolutionary people come here to "fight the system". this is a townspart where most people living are far left and immigrants. Im both, cause i imigratet from romania to germany, and im member of the marxist lenninist party of germany MLPD. So all this anticapitalist heroes in 2001 burned the 20 years old mercedes of a very kind and friendly turkish man down and smashed the windows of his kiosk and looted all the things inside and broke his cashbox. for the car the insurance payed, but it was very old so the money wasnt enough for an used car wich is the same and unfortunatly he hadnt the money to pay the kiosk insurance for months so he was ruined and an unemployed turk over 60 speaking only few german. No chance getting a regular job. People like you ruined him, how ist that anticapitalism? Idiots start riots in the own squat and the own leftist towns part and smash the cars of normal and poor people. There were no richt poeple and no nazis who got their cars burned. also the did smash the windows of the small kiosks and stores instead the banks or temp agency bureaus. And when you encurage normal people or underaged to loot a store, maybe they stay to long and get caught by the police. so the people are in prison or get punished for what? für 5 Euro grocerys? so you do the system a favor. They can arrrest leftist and underage people who are so dumb to do what they see you doing and ruin a left wing persons life für 5 euro grocerys. So you help ruinig lifes and underage people wich get arrested for this shit will never come back to join left structures. I ask you, is it that worth? 

And  yes, helping refugees is the most important thing for me. I took a next job where i can get vegetables wich are not good enough to sell for free and supply people from syria and south africa. i also help gypsy people from my home country romania with the paper work and teach them a few words german.

And today sunday i have baked 4 cakes and we go to grill in a park with refugees later. in greece and italy are the most refugees who need help. and nervertheless crisis, greece is frist world eu country so nobody of the regualr greek people dies from hunger, like so called "illegal" immigrants. 

But if you want action like a movie go and beat some nazis man, golden dawn has enough people wich derserve a smack in the face. And if you like getting arrested , just stay there and wait for the cops after beating them.

You are comming from the small stalinist sect MLPD and like us to tell, what you big leader "engel" told you. But sorry this is wrong analysis and propaganda.

Kreuzberg was a district where mostly left people (far left in the squatts of the 80toes) and immigrants lived. No its is in big parts gentrified and a catwalk for lunatic tourists.

 

Youre Party is not part of revolutionary 1. Mai - Demonstration. So from where you have got your stories about "rich kids, hooligans and revolutionary people"?

 

This story you told you tooked originally bei the BILD from the rightwing Axel Springer group. Well done.

 

You help refugees. Thats a good thing.

 

Most of you party does nothing in this case, they talk the BlaBlaBla and pray to you maximum leader.

 

So, be not so loud in critizising people.

 

The things you wrote about greeceshow me, that you know nothing about this country and the situation there. 25% unemployed, 72% Youngsters between 16- 25 unemployed, no Hartz IV or something similar. After one year no cent and now health insurrence. 40% without health insurrence.

 

Why don´t starve the people by hunger? Cause we have organized many Public - Kitchens, food coops and other things. But still every few days starve somewhere an old person in a little flat or the wood and paper - made "houses" in the streets cause medicaments are finished or nothing to eat.

In our boys school nearly every day kids break down by hunger.

 

With what kind of arroganz your ignoring all this? Why you sorted human beings in a crisis out? Poor greeks vs refugees. In what chapter, what book Marx and Lenin talk such a rubbish? To split marginilized people up? Nowhere.

 

Sorry, you talking about greece like someone from CDU, from greek militants like someone from CSU. What is wrong with you.

Your english writing errors and the sentence building tells me that you are a german and not even greek.

so fuck off you faker.

Also the things from the 1st May i know from living near kreuzberg and the Kiosk owner being my neighbor.

Maybe you have not the jobs you need, but youure still a first world country where the state feeds the poor so no one has to starve.

The syrian refugees have no such thing , the people from pakistan just die from hunger in the streets and you moan about unemployed youth?

Like the syrian people wich are terrorized by isis who cut their heads and burnt them allive just for beeing Jessidi is no compare to you first world citizens.

Our fake Leftwing the Linkspartei is only doing blabla when all the immigrants die in the sea, instead of helping them all. We should tear down all borders in europe.

Our MLPD is very engaged in helping the kurdish people. The german girl Ivana Hoffmann who died in the fight defending Kurdistan from the ISIS was from our MLPD, and we sendet over the years many kurdistan brigadists to fight for communism unless the Linkspartei or the DKP wich is the blabla nothing doer sect.

On our Pentecost youth meeting came way over 500 kurdish left wing freedom fighters who are true communists wich fight the both  the islamic fascists and the turkis fascist army and dont come to boast with a looted supermarked like little children, thats the difference.

Why does your fake-Leftwing Syriza net take all the Taxes from the rich corp fatcats like onassis and the riches people dont have to pay almost any taxes?

Ich bin binational...(oben bin ich deutsch - unten ist es "meine Syriza")

 

Das eine Person aus einer stalinistischen Organisation hier anhand englischer Ausdrucksweise Spekulationen über den Geburtsort einesKommentar - Schreiber anstellt ist schon bizarr. Analysen über den 1. Mai aus Ortsnähe herleitet, griechische GenossInnen gegen Flüchtlinge ausspielt, ist halt MLPD - Stil. Aber die dummen Beleidigungen gehören hier nicht hin.

 

(Gerne schreibe ich das auch nochmal in meinem schlechten englisch (ich Schulversager!) oder griechisch)

 

Ganz schlechter Politstil - halt MLPD.
