Of course this is an advertisement for Rouvikonas. They are one of the most anti-social (in terms of condemning insurrectional activities, the daily riots, etc.) groups in Athens. Incredibly self-important, their tactics are doing low risk, less effective, actions and filming them, hoping that playing into spectacular imagery and attacking populist targets will bring them popularity. Not only is this article ridiculous in its references to recent american events, like saying the ferguson uprising comes out of the anarchist movement or its propaganda, but it is also ridiculous in regards to the current moment of Greece which they call a moment of expansion. The decline of the anarchist movement in Greece and in Athens is widely acknowledged amongst the anarchist milieu (I say milieu, because anarchists there already say that the movement is dead), and has been in decline with occasional outbursts since 2012.

Overall this is a slightly historical cringey advertisement for Rouvikonas, which has become more focused anti-imperialist than anarchism which is also why they are so proud of the anti-nato shit.
