Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:17:11 +0000

from libcom, 6 February 2010: "The fascist anti-immigration demo called for Saturday noon at Propylea in Athens was thwarted by a massive counter-demo of anarchists and antifascists. The racist demo against immigration had been called by the Secret Services controlled pro-junta weekly paper Stohos, various ultra-Orthodox christian groups as well as a melange of other fascist groups and parties.

A week after another fascist march, that time in commemoration of some greek soldiers killed during a short-lived melee between greek and turkish naval forces in 1996, this time the fascist scum had decided to desecrate the most central academic asylum grounds of Athens: Propylea, the place where all protest marches start, a high symbol of left-wing and anarchist struggles..." more

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:10:10 +0000

from ainfos, 12 January 2010: "What happened in Rosarno has without doubt come as a slap in the face to all those who believe in and fight for a different world where sides based on race, language and religion face up to each other are just an ugly memory, and to all those who see the unity of all workers, wherever they are from, as the only force able to build a better society of free equals.

The violence of the State and of these new Calabrian Ku Klux Klans armed with rifles and iron bars, with more than a hint of agricultural 'ndrangheta, towards the community of immigrants is an unfortunate reminder of the stories of Uncle Tom's Cabin..." more

from antifa, 31 October 2009: "In the past in Britain (and still today in most other European countries) opposing fascism was considered a duty by almost all anarchists and socialists.

Opposing fascism is something ALL of us have to play a part in, particularly with the growing influence of fascist groups like the British National Party (BNP)..." more
