[GR] ΚΑΛΕΣΜΑ ΣΤΗΡΙΞΗΣ ΤΩΝ ΠΕΡΙΦΡΟΥΡΗΣΕΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΚΟΙΝΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΚΑΤΕΙΛΗΜΜΕΝΩΝ ΠΡΟΣΦΥΓΙΚΩΝ Λ. ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΑΣ

Η κοινότητα των Κατειλημμένων Προσφυγικών είναι μια αυτοοργανωμένη γειτονιά αντίστασης και αγώνα, μεταξύ ΓΑΔΑ και Εφετείου. Στο πλαίσιο την γενικής πολιτικής κατασταλτικής ατζέντας της κοινωνίας και των κινημάτων, βιώνουμε την πολύμορφη τρομοκρατία και τη φυσική καταστολή σε πολλά επίπεδα, με κλιμακούμενες εντάσεις και περιόδους έξαρσης ανά τα χρόνια. Βασικό στοιχείο του οργανωτικού μοντέλου που φέρουμε ως κοινότητα είναι η αυτοάμυνα μας. Η οικοδόμηση των δικών μας προοπτικών και απαντήσεων στην σύγχρονη δυστοπία, οργανικά συνεδεμένη με την περιφρούρηση των όσων εδώ και 14 χρόνια δημιουργούμε.

Καλούμε τον κόσμο της αλληλεγγύης να στηρίξει έμπρακτα αυτή την ζωτικής σημασίας υλική, πολιτική και οργανωτική ανάγκη, εν μέσω της περιόδου του Αυγούστου, που ο κίνδυνος κατασταλτικής επίθεσης στα αυτοοργανωμένα εγχειρήματα αγώνα αυξάνεται.

Τα καθημερινά ολονύχτια καλέσματα για την περιφρούρηση της γειτονιάς ξεκινάνε στις 00:00 με ραντεβού στην πλατείας της γειτονιάς των προσφυγικών, Κουζή και Βεγορίτιδος.

[ENG] CALL FOR SUPPORT OF THE GUARDING OF THE COMMUNITY OF SQUATTED PROSFYGIKA OF ALEXANDRAS AV.

The Community of Squatted Prosfygika is a self-organized neighbourhood of resistance and struggle, between the General Police Headquarters of Athens (GADA) and the Supreme Court. In the context of the general political repressive agenda of society and the movements, we experience multiform terrorism and physical repression on many levels, with escalating tensions and periods of elevation over the years. A basic element of the organizational model we bring as a community is our self-defense. Building our own perspectives and responses to the contemporary dystopia, organically linked to defending what we have been creating for 14 years.

We call on the people of solidarity to actively support this vital material, political and organizational need in the midst of August period, when the risk of repressive attacks on self-organized projects of struggle is increasing.

The daily all-night calls for the guarding of the neighbourhood starts at 00:00 with an appointment in the square of the neighbourhood of Prosfygika, Kouzi & Vegoritidos.

[67] Κάθε τμήμα της ύλης μπορεί να συλληφθεί σαν ένας κήπος γεμάτος φυτά ή σαν μια λίμνη γεμάτη ψάρια. Αλλά κάθε κλαδί ενός φυτού, κάθε όργανο ενός ζώου, κάθε σταγόνα των σωματικών του υγρών είναι επίσης ένας παρόμοιος κήπος ή μια παρόμοια λίμνη.

— Gottfried Leibniz -

[67] Each portion of matter can be conceived as like a garden full of plants, or like a pond full of fish. But each branch of a plant, each organ of an animal, each drop of its bodily fluids is also a similar garden or a similar pond.

— Gottfried -

This contradiction between the quantitative limitation and the
qualitative lack of limitation of keeps driving the hoarder back
to his Sisyphean task: .
[...]
The hoarder therefore sacrifices the lusts of his flesh to the fetish of
gold. He takes the gospel of abstinence very seriously. . . . Work,
thrift and greed are therefore his three cardinal virtues, and to sell
much and buy little is the sum of his political economy.
[Karl , Capital I (trans. Ben Fowkes), 231]

On the basis of production, . . . is turned from a
given, fixed value into a self-valorizing value capable of increasing
itself. It produces , i.e. it enables the capitalist to extract and
appropriate for himself a certain quantity of unpaid labour, surplus
product and surplus value. In this way, the money receives, besides the
use-value which it possesses as money, an additional use-value, namely
the ability to function as capital . . . it becomes a commodity. (
[1894]1993:459)

“Everyone talks about peace but no one educates for . In this world, they educate for , and competition is the beginning of any . When educating to and owe each other , that day we will be educating for peace.”

Today in Labor History June 7, 1929: Striking textile workers battled police in Gastonia, North Carolina, during the Loray Mill Strike. Police Chief O.F. Aderholt was accidentally killed by one of his own officers during a protest march by striking workers. Nevertheless, the authorities arrested six strike leaders. They were all convicted of “conspiracy to murder.”

The strike lasted from April 1 to September 14. It started in response to the “stretch-out” system, where bosses doubled the spinners’ and weavers’ work, while simultaneously lowering their wages. When the women went on strike, the bosses evicted them from their company homes. Masked vigilantes destroyed the union’s headquarters. The NTWU set up a tent city for the workers, with armed guards to protect them from the vigilantes.

One of the main organizers was a poor white woman named Ella May Wiggans. She was a single mother, with nine kids. Rather than living in the tent city, she chose to live in the African American hamlet known as Stumptown. She was instrumental in creating solidarity between black and white workers and rallying them with her music. Some of her songs from the strike were “Mill Mother’s Lament,” and “Big Fat Boss and the Workers.” Her music was later covered by Pete Seeger and Woodie Guthrie, who called her the “pioneer of the protest ballad.” During the strike, vigilantes shot her in the chest. She survived, but later died of whooping cough due to poverty and inadequate medical care.

For really wonderful fictionalized accounts of this strike, read “The Last Ballad,” by Wiley Cash (2017) and “Strike!” by Mary Heaton Vorse (1930).
