Occupation of Athens Polytechnic School after breaking of the asylum by the police

if it doesn't exist asylum,

then ...

there is no reason

to exist the university

the only university that

is the one that burns

solidarity

to the university students

that fight against the

police pressence inside the university

and against the academic elit

(occupation of Polytechnic

School started after the

invitation of police by the

president of Athens Polytechnic

School to arrest young people

organizing small party

in Polytechnic School campus.

The police attacked brutaly to the

youth and they arrested 30 people

that left them free after some hours

without any charges)

Carboro / North Carolina : We Are an Image from the Future U.S.A.Tour 2010

Carboro in North Carolina is one of the craziest places in Amerikkka… It’s a small town of 15.000 people and the strong anarchist scene vibrates its inspirational message all around the planet… People from Crimethinc ex workers collective offered us accommodation and helped us to organize our open public talk in Internationalist Bookshop… We arrived in the city one day earlier and we had the amazing chance to celebrate the Gay Christmas, organized by The Institute for Experimental Freedom, CrimeThinc and all wonderful LesbianGayBisexualTransexual and SadoMasochistic community of the town… It was a great sex party organized in a big collective house and arranged in many different rooms of sex action and a well organized basement for dancing electro sexy music (of course we don’t have photos from this but it was really sweet and nice erotic atmosphere) … The next morning the celebration continued in another house that turned into community center featuring great vegan food, friendly chatting at the garden on the sunshine… You can find more info about some of the people organizing Gay Christmas here:

Also you can see some amazing Queer movies, info & collective's links proposed by our friends from The Institute for Experimental People navigate here:

The days continued from collective house to collective house…It seems that as the totalitarianism of USA don’t allow the existence of almost any kind of squat or social center or community project creative people use their houses to accommodate collective moments like concerts, parties, open talks, collective cooking and orgies…We really believe that this a great proof about the unstoppable power of human beings invent all possible conditions to share ecstatic collective Joy and Love fighting against authority, even if they have to turn a house into a castle of resistance….

A part of this is the Prison Books collective, mailing hundreds and hundreds of packages with support letters and books every month to all prisoners in USA and publishing the magazine Words of Fire featuring poems & prose by prisoners...

Crimethinc people and the undergound community of Corboro is also responsible for the world known project of Really Really Free Market taking place monthly in Carboro and many other local ecological and neighborhood scale struggles

more info about Really Really Free Market :

http://www.crimethinc.com/texts/atoz/reallyreally.php

We met also many very intersesting travelers and old firends in Carboro featuring creators of the film The Chicago Conspirancy by Subversive Action films group

After all these beautiful moments, our talk about the assassination of Alexis Grigoropoulos by Greek police and the riots and the social insurrection in Greece obviously gathered all active people of the town in a pact, vibrating and inspirational infoshop/radical community project Internationalist bookshop. Under a big cinema screen covered with Void Optical Art Lab./Void Historic Archive photos from December 2008 we talked for about an hour and half about Greece (how we organize assembly, counter information, demonstrations and autonomous student groups as strategically important tools for the sustaining of the social struggle). We talked also about Spain, England and the importance of our own efforts in affecting the social context that encourages or inhibits rebellion; that culture is not born but created. Spain and England provide useful examples of societies at other points in a continuum between social control and rebellion, and how governments push their societies to be less supportive of social struggles, unless people in those struggles push back.

The night continued with a long detailed talk about Greece featuring also our own questions about the quite limited connection of white anarchists with black communities. People from Apoc / Anarchist People of Color and many others offered deep analysis.

We are happy to say that the community of Carboro is amazing…

Traveling, public talks and visual representations of our ideas, visons and active strategies in U.S.A. continues to Ashville 23feb and then New Orleans in 25feb.

Washington D.C. / Richmond Virginia // We are an Imager from the Future // U.S.A. Tour 2010

Travelling from New York to Washington D.C. and then from the fosuburbs down to Richmond, Virginia...Meeting comrades in houses, staying together, cooking, drinking,speaking about ecological actions and solidarity movement, sleeping together, looking the Potentiality of Storming Heaven film and talking many hours about December 2008. Sharing life together with unknown people that the common ground of ideas and struggles for liberation...Wandering in the cafes and the bars of the city preparing the lectures of the tour...Wonderfull moments of collective Joy and inspiration... Richmond is a nice, calm and peacefull city with many interesting people...Among them existing Christian Anarchists that they did an amazing introduction of their ideas and strategies, featuring the important role of the Catholic Workers Movement, a pacifist Anarchist Group that established in the 1930's by Dorothy Day and continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. Their most important struggles in last years were the publicity and struggle against the state about Guantanamo tortures, the anniversary of 75 years , the attacking against the nuclear weapon programmes and the war in Iraq....

One other very important meeting was with the people from Mountain Justice collective

explaining to us their struggle against the destruction of Appalachia Mountains by the coal mountains. We spoke with them also about the struggle against the dam of river Acheloos in Greece and different counter-information actions around this struggle...as it expressed through the different collectives [ info examples about Acheloos river anarcho-ecology struggle here :http://www.resistance2003.gr/en/texts/text.php?id=154

New York // We are an Image from the Future U.S.A. Tour

The New Yorkers,…they hate New York..

All day spent just going and coming to the work, most of the day in work and then exhaustion…All life spent in the effort to pay back the bank loans, education loans, health care, private insurance, expensive rent.The city vibrates Melancholy, Alienation, Loneliness, and Fear…There is not any culture in a place that people are obliged care only for their daily survival…or better the only culture that exists in New York in 2010 is the vast silence of isolated individual lifetime .

Consumers walk in the snow

The only way to survive psychologically from isolation is to search immediately for comrades, cultural activists, underground media networkers and crazy motherfuckers ready to put themselves in the great risk to confront Global capitalism and Police state in the center of the Eye of the Hurricane

The New York Void Network creative cells had amazing night time meetings with people from Yippie Party and Indigenous Movement in the Yippie Party Headquarters social center Yippie Museum :

http://www.yippiemuseum.org/ located in Greenwich Village at 9 Bleecker Street between Bowery and Elizabeth CALL 212-677-5918.

We talked about Million Marijuana March, the global network of Legalize it Festivals, totalitarianism and authoritarian manipulation of humankind by the elite, the future of poor people. of Native Americans and youth of Amerikkka

Our great spiritual friend Priyia Reddy / WarCryCinema and Glass Bead Collective ( media activists & creators of the film Terrorrizing Dissent) reprogrammed an open constant process of co-ordination of actions with Void Network and participation to the project Total Freedom Film (under-construction experimental void art full length movie).

Through the collective power created from these meetings we organized amazing events that will take place from 16 to 21 of April in New York, including Anarchist Film Festival, participation in Anarchist Book Fair and Word’s Environments/multi media poetry action

WE ARE AN IMAGE FROM THE FUTURE [ The Greek Revolt of December 2008] new book edited by A.G. Schwarz, Tasos Sagris and Void Network // AKPress pub.

What causes a city, then a whole country, to explode? How did one neighborhood's outrage over the tragic death of one teenager transform itself into a generalized insurrection against State and capital, paralyzing an entire nation for a month?

This is a book about the murder of fifteen-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos, killed by the police in the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens on December 6th, 2008, and of the revolution in the streets that followed, bringing business as usual in Greece to a screeching, burning halt for three marvelous weeks, and putting the fear of history back into the bureaucrats of Fortress Europe and beyond.

We Are an Image From the Future delves into the December insurrection and its aftermath through interviews with those who witnessed and participated in it, alongside the communiqués and texts that circulated through the networks of revolt. It provides the on-the-ground facts needed to understand these historic events, and also dispels the myths activists outside of Greece have constructed around them. What emerges is not just the intensity of the riots, but the stories of organizing and solidarity, the questions of strategy and tactics: a desperately needed examination of the fabric of the Greek movements that made December possible.

"This book is just what Dr. Fucking Anarchy ordered. How to turn insurrection into revolution. The Greek revolt will inspire a generation as Paris '68 did 40 years earlier."
—Ian Bone, class warrior and author of Bash the Rich

"If protest is when I say I disagree, and resistance is when I do something about it, then insurrection is when everyone else is on-board too. So it was in December of 2008, when Greece burned.... We Are an Image from the Future is a quintessential portrait of revolution in action. The coming global insurrection has already begun."
—Ramor Ryan, author of Clandestines

"What the Zapatista uprising of 1994 was to the antiglobalization movement, the Greek uprising of 2008 could be to the demise of capitalism itself."
—CrimethInc. Ex-Workers' Collective

"This dazzling collection is not a book about the great insurrection of 2008-it is a living piece of it that can become a part of us, and through us, it opens the prospect of a universe we might never otherwise have imagined possible. Future historians may well conclude that the Revolution finally began in 2008. If they do, this book will have played a crucial role in that realization."
—David Graeber, author of Direct Action: An Ethnography

The book will be available in Mid-March // more info about the publication :
