Spanish Civil War – Social War

From Social Ecology and Communalism Workshop

Let’s say, for convenience’s sake, that it was a little over thirty years ago. Let’s say I was in my twenties and was just coming out of my shell, very late in life. That is, from a long adolescence and a modest family background where both cultural and political deserts reigned. Let’s say, finally, that there was this fundamental encounter with a couple of friends that made me veer off course and glimpse the shores of the continent of Anarchy—and its eldest daughter: the Spanish Revolution.

Introduction
“Politics is the continuation of war by other means.” This war can best be understood as the social war, or the war by the state and other institutions to maintain social control, as well as the resistance to this control.

Statement on the arson against a vehicle of the Greek Embassy

From Kontrapolis.

We have been closely following the Greek state's crushing of demonstrations in the streets of Athens. The government of Nea Dimokratia and its judiciary have proven that in the hunger strikes of D. Koufontinas and G. Michailidis they are ready to let prisoners die rather than to give way one step. We know the videos of the lynching with the participation of police officers of Zak Kostopoulos. As well as the execution of N. Sampanis in Perama by DIAS is an expression of a ruthless regime, as is the murder of Vassilis Maggos in Volos. Blood drips from the hands of the Greek authorities.
