Willem Van Spronsen - Always on the Offensive at the Border Crossings
by Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis
Three years ago, on July 13, 2019 in the state of Washington, the antifascist anarchist Willem Van Spronsen fought his last battle in an armed attentat against a migrant detention center. [...] Precisely in this way, in the borders of the E.U. and the Greek territory, a long-running class massacre is being carried out, no less political than the intra-imperialist war in the Russian-Ukrainian zone. A massacre that is met with indifference by the comfortable Europeans and Greeks, bipartisans and leftitsts, just like the Germans who «didn't know» about the nazi death camps. Comrade Willem broke through an invisible border, blowing up the complicit silence, attacking the miserable class distinction, the antisocial cannibalism of those that don't risk their own skin while they inhabit the slaughterhouse, in the territories of the masters, with their own body. With gun at hand.
