nia and Thrace ministry ). In recent years the Greek state has inaugurated a new repressive tactic against anarchist hostages . It dissects the cases , always formulating new indictments in order to secure the most and longest convictions it can from each case so that they prolong our stay in prison to the maximum . Besides , right now we are held with triple , quadruple and up to six detentions [ 2 ]. Thus , on one hand lengthy imprisonment without trial is applied in practice , overcoming past legal obstacles , and on the other our penal extermination is being prepared with dozens of years of prison from each case . It is precisely on this fact , that is to say , the toughening of penal repression that it is important to insist on our anarchist practices , avoiding the trap of claiming our rights and our legal obligations towards the State . Furthermore , as in any anarchist action , the value of choice clashes with the consequences , opening antiinstitutional ruptures in the social machine . An important exception is when possibilities of immediate liberation erupt , where strategic artifices towards the enemy overcome the political defeat of a lengthy political defeatism . The state sees that despite our captivity we are not willing to raise the white flag , nor to round up our intentions and continue to support and promote the violent attack against it inside and outside the walls , without a trace of remorse . Therefore , based on this decision of ours , it continues its repressive attack , adjusting the means it uses . From the hunt by the anti-terrorist forces and the cops , to the anti-terrorist persecutions , the thousands of pages of indictments , the special courtrooms and soon the special conditions of incarceration . From the police to the upgraded penal oppression . State repression , that is to say its choice to spread fear in any possible way , gains ground only when it is up against apathy and resignation . These are the choices that are afforded to the cowardly and stupid allies of the authoritarian complex . This is why capitalist society feeds with its bloodsucking values , the unable , the avaricious and the hypocritical , drowning in the confusion and narcissism of the modern world . This is exactly why we reaffirm the intensity of the struggle through which free emotions are born and human relations relieved ( to the degree possible ) from the dominant culture . Thus I believe that even as hostages we must not stop producing aggressive anarchist resonance , discrediting the judicial parodies , communicating our thoughts promoting the anarchist solidarity expressed by the comrades outside the walls . The repression will only win if we resign from the battle against the authoritarian complex . Besides we are not seeking a path of discreet disengagement from the war against authority , if we desired something like that the only thing sure is that the State , seeking our “ rehabilitation ”, would happily offer it to us . The only thing we seek are ways out of the spot of each battle . In order to continue inexorably the struggle against the social system . Beyond the political conclusions of each one , the only sure thing is that any comrade ’ s desire to actively get involved in the anarchist struggle , should study the mistakes made and they should be a step ahead of the enemy , planning their next moves very carefully and precisely . Avoiding as much as possible hasty moves without however going into inactivity . Because those who find themselves in the belly of Leviathan and desire to hold on steadfastly to their values must spit blood in order to make it open its mouth . The only thing certain is that the era of State tolerance has ended .
Responsibility claim – Speaking with actions ...
Returning to the specific matter of the text , concerning the new prosecutions and my summons . My attitude towards the interrogators was , is and will be the same and unchanged . I refuse to open a dialogue with the judicial mafia , I refuse to apologize to my executioners . An attitude that spits in the face of the authority of their suits and insists that the struggle through the bonds of captivity continues . Their repression will always find our revolutionized consciences an obstacle , our insurrection will conquer the fear , chaos and anarchy are inevitable . I take political responsibility for my participation in the anarchist incendiary groups FAI-Fires on the Horizon , FAI-Unit Fire to the Galleys , and Militant Minority . The aim of these specific anarchist groups was to contribute to the spreading of revolutionary violence and show that there can be action even with the most simple means accessible to anyone . As long as there is will and intention to attack your oppressors . A responsibility claim is for me a way to continue to speak with actions through the bonds of captivity , to defend anarchist incendiary action as an inseparable part of the multiform struggle and to give life again to texts written in spaces wanted by law and order , together with beautiful plans and much hope . Texts which for me carry a piece of myself from my path in anarchist clandestinity and which I consider worthy of defending politically in the present condition . Besides that however , the choice of political responsibility has also some political aims of considerable importance . First of all its aim is to raise a protective wall around comrades and loved ones blocking the vengeful spreading of persecutions for participation in the above groups on the pretext that the case remains unsolved . Something that has happened to a degree since many of my comrades are included as accused for participation in these groups . Therefore , specifically and beyond the political responsibility of my participation I also take penal responsibility for the incendiary attacks , based on
