A-Infos (en) Greece, APO: 2nd Liberation Festival for ORGANIZED ANARCHISM, class & social struggles | 3-4/10 | HANTH PARK (XARCHAKOS) (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

" We trust that people will learn to walk in the only way possible: by 
walking ." Isaac Puente ---- Keeping the spark of resistance alive 
against the gloom of modern slavery! While oppression and exploitation 
take on new, more savage forms of war conflicts, we continue to 
struggle, live and dance "under the volcano". The social magma is not 
exhausted, it is working out new forms of confrontation with the state 
and military network that is preparing new human sacrifices, with 
racism, fascism and nationalism that attempts to lull the social 
majority and guide it towards the interests of capital. Our world is 
becoming increasingly irrational, bound by a paranoid system where 
everything is sacrificed on the altar of the unbridled profit of the 
powerful. The poor workers, the unemployed, the young rubber-rubbers are 
crushed under this dictatorship that foreshadows new scenes of 
cannibalism and mutual annihilation. Education, health, all public goods 
are sold off, simply forming new fields for extracting superprofits. The 
state mafia operates as a cartel that serves only its members and 
followers, while the accuracy and cost of living are tearing apart the 
social fabric, pushing a huge part of the social base to despair. And 
the police are upgraded to the most basic institution of social 
supervision that controls and suppresses everything that does not adapt 
to this scenario with brute force. However, THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES...
The Libertarian Festival for Organized Anarchism & Class-Social 
Struggles is being organized for the second consecutive year at the 
XANTH (Xarchakos) park in the center of Thessaloniki and is the 
political continuation of the Libertarian Festival of Occupied Spaces & 
Collectives that was organized in the city in previous years 
(2019-2023). Its goal is the same: to defend public space, creating mass 
cultural and political events in the city center under a libertarian and 
anarchist banner. At the same time, we want the festival space to 
function as a living megaphone for the propaganda of anarchist and 
libertarian ideas and perceptions, especially today when they are being 
slandered and slandered by the unscrupulous enemies of freedom. To 
communicate again and massively through political material, books and 
events, cultural events and creativity with the social base, to defend 
in the first place and face to face the anarchist ideas: Resistance, 
Solidarity, Dignity.
The smooth conduct of a libertarian festival in the city center with the 
massive attendance of workers, unemployed, students and pupils, all 
progressive people who want with their presence to set a limit to state 
and capitalist crimes, to get to know a part of anti-authoritarian ideas 
is a permanent bet for the movement, an essential step in the 
reconstruction of the presence of Organized Anarchism in the city center 
and of political and social developments.
We call on the social base and social activists to an event whose 
realization can be the point of reclaiming public spaces, from squats 
and social centers, to university campuses, parks and squares, 
initiating a process where the very presence of the people excludes 
police imposition and repression. A libertarian-anarchist festival is 
always much more than a few musical events and a few speeches: it is a 
living organism that expresses itself autonomously while growing in 
stature with each person who participates even as a simple observer.
"Our anarchism was and will continue to be the most selfless expression 
of opposition to the most vicious techniques of power for the control 
and brutalization of societies, the ideological beacon of liberation of 
the subordinate classes, the defender of justice for those crushed under 
a regime of inequality, poverty and impoverishment. The same incessant 
struggle for life.
THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL LIBERATION WILL EITHER BE SOCIAL & COLLECTIVE OR 
IT WILL BE NOTHING
