Athens,Greece: Taking Responsibility For The Confidential Attack On The Renault Dealership
It was early morning on October 15, the sky was completely dark. Municipal election day. We waited for the voters and the cops to move into the neighbourhood. The streets were almost empty. We reached our goal. We looked at each other with that spark in our eyes. Everything was clean. Nothing was stopping us. A few seconds before the action we wondered if it was worth it, fear took hold, but it is worth it for all the reasons in the world. Determination, the burning heart takes the place of fear. It’s one of the few times you smile. We give the final OK. The person activates the incendiary device, places it under the car. He makes the signal. We walk away, each in turn, seeing that no one in the neighbourhood noticed what had happened. Minutes later, when we were away, in the safety of the dark of night, the device activated and reduced five cars to a flaming mess. If the neighbours hadn’t been woken up by the sound of the fire, the fire siren certainly did it.
The only thing that makes sense in this miserable world we live in is to try to destroy it thoroughly. To resist it in every possible way. This small action is a contribution to this resistance. It is also an invitation to other individuals and groups to participate. There are state and capitalist goals everywhere all we need is a well organized plan and to overcome our fears individually and collectively.
At a time when despair and futility have prevailed, we respond that we do not need to hope for a better future to be able to resist a present that is killing us. With or without hope we will always fight.
We refuse to integrate into a system that is crushing our lives. Our desires are created and controlled by family, education, television. The reason we are useful to power is because we are profitable at our own expense and every four years they throw us a card to choose who will destroy our lives and sell us the fairytale of freedom. We are not fighting for a better democracy that will give us more crumbs, that will make us better consumers, that will kill a little more civilly. We are fighting for a world of solidarity, equality, freedom, for anarchy and this can only be done through the destruction of the state, capitalism, patriarchy, society and power.
How many more state murders, how many more wars, how many more immigrant women must drown and burn, how many more trains must collide. How many more people must be beaten and thrown off a ship, how many more children must be locked behind a garage door and murdered before the guilty eyes of the workers?
How many times must the state arm the hand of the cop who shoots and kills anyone who disobeys its orders and challenges its authority, until we realise that we must take life into our hands and throw it into the fire. In the fire that can manage to create blows to those who oppress our lives. The only thing left in the war we have with the state, capitalism, patriarchy, is to become an impetuous wave of resistance. To bring conflict back into everyday life and suppress oppression, exploitation, racism, power.

PS In general, we don’t need specific reasons to attack multinationals because they are all shit. However, Renault produces and sells cars, and like all carmakers it makes patrol cars and cabs. Renault is a car company partially owned by the French state. And the French state has recently expanded its cooperation with the Greek one. Besides selling weapons to Greece (fighter planes and warships) French cops come to Greece with the intention of training cops for camera surveillance and advanced crowd control. France also supports the Greek state and Frontex in the war against migrants.
