On Tuesday 17/02 we attacked a Hondos Centre outlet located in the center of Heraklion, using an improvised incendiary device.
Hondos Centre: A “service” of beautification in the kingdom of spectacle and illusion. In the realm where reality has been based on delusion, where substance has been established on a virtual basis and where the human recognizes himself throughout the consumer’s products – “achievements”. There, where everybody and everything are numbers and commodification has been extended to everything existent, reaching the seizure of consciousness itself. There, where “work sets you free” and daily routine castrates your thought. There, where everybody is simultaneously a prostitute and a pimp of authority.
In the face of of this machine of enslavement, we choose Negation. Negation that will lead us to the total conflict with this world and the experience of authentic freedom. There is surely no unique and unnegotiable truth (it is subjective) and there certainly isn’t a revolutionary manual to guide us to its experience. Equally certainly we, having grown up inside this social machine, are carriers and exponents, sometimes more and sometimes less, of the dominant morality, way of thinking and behavior.
This is exactly where our struggle begins: the conflict with ourself, to uproot every authoritarian attitude and mentality, every prefabricated idea, every trace of the dominant morality from inside us. This constant conflict with our contradictions, our compromises and the limits of this world, until we become ourselves the change we want to live. For us, the transform of this negation into attack, is an indispensable part and the continuation of this internal conflict. Into attacks that create local time-spaces of freedom, causing cracks in the seemingly invincible enemy-state-system, giving power to those who carry them out, to the comrades who are in captivity or who fall back (only to attack once again) and to those who have decided to act.
We are egoists and in a hurry. We repel anything related to victimization, the balance of power, waiting, death. We do not wait for the movement and the favorable conditions for our struggle to mature and we do not rely on the recognition by society. Besides, it’s the society that recognizes and rewards only those who don’t criticize it and do not carry out actions which would cause it’s dissolution (and here is a note that we cannot avoid making on the much debated issue of prisons: the struggle for the destruction of the prisons is impossible to proceed separately from the struggle against the society that guards them).
We have a long, tough and beautiful road before us and we are in the beginning. The challenge for us is to arm ourselves with knowledge, experiences, new practices and methodologies of attack, but more important to arm our conscience and steel our resolve. For the journey towards the Unknown, Life, Freedom, Anarchy.
Strength to the comrades and behind bars.
Strength to those who are planning their attacks.
Strength to everyone who dreams with eyes open wide.
