Sometime I just imagine that someone who is sensible to anarchist ideals, or even broad leftist one, stumbles across this horror and think that this is how we are.

In 1998, a demo at the Polytechnic university in Athens, a group of anarchist students decided to march. They were soon surrounded by the ‘KNAT’ (a play on words: Greek riot cops are the MAT and the Communist youth are the KNE) and since they were unarmed and not prepared, they were unable to resist the organized attack. KNAT and MAT in excellent cooperation surrounded and beat the anarchist students together, arresting simultaneously around 100 individuals.

Towards the end of the second video below, Stalinist union members can clearly be seen talking to police and telling them to attack anarchist protesters. There was a nauseating degree of collaboration between communists and police — a collaborative attempt to defend the last vestiges of the Greek state.

As far as on the streets is concerned they can only be viewed as enemies of the extra-parliamentary and anarchist movement. And this is not a matter of personal or political interpretation, but pretty much formally articulated politic and praxis of KKE/KNE. Pretty much every demonstration where we had to deal with them the interaction took the form of at least insults to the regards of us being at best adventurist fools, at worst provocateurs and agents of foreign interests. This often culminated in them trying to throw anarchists to the cops, and anarchists engaging in physical confrontations with the KKE/KNE blocs security.

Even when postering at night, we used to go with helmets and all kinds of self-defense preparations, not only because of cops and the occasional Nazi…but in election times because of confrontations with KKE/KNE members..

The culmination of this was during the uprising following the murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos. The KKE denounced the movement as, unsurprisingly, the work of provocateurs and foreign interests. The KNE systematically opposed the universtity occupations and tried to vote them down at assemblies. And of course, the KKE dominated trade unions cancelled their demonstration related to a one day strike in favor of a stationary rally…to calm the situation. .

i used to work for an employment agency and we'd actively rewrite people's cvs for them to help them get hired. no one ever checked. i guess things are way more organized over there.
