A description of the situation in Athens 5 days after the riots erupted

We are the image of the Future
(slogan in an Athens wall)
Update 11/12

Today 22 police stations attacked by students mainly all across Athens.
Big Demo in the center some Anarchists, mostly leftist and other people from
the city. Many anti-cop slogans, slogans against authority in general,
against the lawyer of the cop, a well known bastard that helps drug dealers
and big mafia...
The city center does not really work. Most of the shops are burned or
destroyed. In riots also traffic lights were destroyed and that s to say
really great because it is your decision when you walk and when the cars
go...It is so beautiful to see the city center burned down...
In Patission street two universities still occupied. The polytechnic
university, a symbol of social fights in Greece, cannot be really controlled
by the people there. Highschool kids, or (even younger age 10 years old!)
come there to fight with police. Also many immigrants! Some junkies and
hooligans join also....It is fun because some really young kids age 9 -10
,come in the occupied universities and tell the people. " Hey mister, please
teach us how to make a molotov-cocktail..." Also there are hardcore riots
with the police and in the gardens of the university girls and boys kiss and
pet each other...
The streets around are burned. Athens' silicon valley, Stournari street with
many shops with computers and electronic equipment is totally destroyed,
looted. Some computers were looted , most were burned and destroyed.
"Plaisio" a big computer store with three floors is burned completely.
Anarchists, autonomists mainly gather in the Athens university of Economics,
which is some blocks away...There is a place of conversations, food (it's
fun because when the food is over we go to the Supermarkets near, loot ,
give some to the people who are in the street and the rest we use in the
university. There also exists a media center,( a blogspo is created) a radio
station is in progress, and a big room to print leaflets and brochures.
The law school is also occupied by leftists, which become a bit more radical
(as radical as a leftist can become)...
Exarcheia, the district were the murder happened, is still barricated. There
is a big burned car in the middle of Mpenaki street in the entrance of the
district.
In the roads down from the occupations on the night some times it is
dangerous because nazis and policemen work together and try to prevent
immigrants from attacking and looting...
The next days would so how things will go.We expect occupations of schools
and universities. The workers are not on strike, syndicates and the
communist party sabotage us a lot...Damn, after so many years it is still
the same...And you know you have to sabotage production to destroy
capitalism...
Many people are arrested and the government wants to make use of the
anti-terror laws, like in France for the Tarnac 9. I think now everybody can
see for whom these laws are made for. The enemy within...
We can say that some parts of the center have a certain autonomy...and for
sure the police will not go in...
Comrades in all the world, if you want to express your solidarity, which we
need a lot
keep on the fights in your countries and make them stronger.
They are really afraid for us, believe us you can not imagine, here now we
can see it clearly.
Resurrection, like we read in the books really exists, we can assure you ,
we live it... It is Beautiful!
In one night "reality", "normality" died...
It will happen to your countries soon.
Make plans
Be ready
