An Anarchist organization, the Antifascist Front - Informal Anarchist Federation at the weekend claimed responsibility for the attack against the offices of the Golden Dawn party in Aspropyrgos in the early hours of December 4th, 2012. In a statement that was published on Contra Info. the armed Anarchist group said that they chose to strike against Golden Dawn’s offices because they believe that, when it comes to the fascists, "one has to strike first and not wait for them to make the first move."
The terrorist group said that they were not planning to sit and wait and do nothing "while the serpent (???)is being hatched." They also said that they refuse to accept the passivity of public denunciations as well as the role of an eternal victim that cannot find the guts to openly confront the, what they described to be as "fascists".
Here are some parts of their statement:
"The Antifascist Front/Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI) claims responsibility for the planting of a homemade explosive device at the West Attica regional offices of the Golden Dawn in the suburb of Aspropyrgos, at the 17th km of the Athens–Corinth national road. The particular characteristics of the location (it’s an area with almost no traffic, especially during night hours) gave us the advantage of planting the explosive device without having to make a warning phone call — something that would perhaps prompt the cops to deactivate the clockwork device which we’d have to use, in order to protect the offices of their collaborators and friends, the chrissavgites/goldendawners.Read the rest on Contra Info
Besides, the comrades who detonated the explosive device had checked the perimeter of the area prior to the attack, so that no random passerby would get injured. It was not our intention to cause damage to a signs-inscriptions shop on the ground floor, since our target was exclusively the Golden Dawn offices on the first floor. But we have to make it clear that those who tolerate being housed in the same building with the fascists are responsible for bringing the problem to their doorstep. Consequently, they should ask for compensation from their dastard neo-Nazi neighbours.
We chose to strike the Golden Dawn’s offices because we believe that, when it comes to the fascists, one has to strike first and not wait for them to make the first move. We are not going to sit and wait and do nothing while the serpent is being hatched. We refuse to accept the passivity of public denunciations as well as the role of an eternal victim that cannot find the guts to openly confront the fascists. We detest the humanitarian hypocrisy and the professional respectability of politicians and journalists who demonize the Golden Dawn in order to consecrate the democracy of demagoguery. We get angry with any constitutional appeal to legality as well as the ridiculous plead that ‘Golden Dawn should be outlawed’.
To us, it’s not even an issue whether the Golden Dawn is outlawed but that it should be extinct. Only then will Elias Kasidiaris — this effeminate kid with the thousand nervous tics [sic] — understand he is making a huge mistake when he states [as the party’s spokesman] that ‘neither bombs nor bullets can stop the Golden Dawn’. Besides, big words never helped anyone.
Of course we are aware that today, apart from some dozens of shaved headed meatballs with a peanut for a brain, the Golden Dawn has an organized party structure (which also implies state funding of millions of euros) and an extended popular footing in a part of society. We are also aware that not everyone among the thousands who voted for them is a neo-Nazi. Their voting body is the quaint mosaic of a conservative mob, consisting of fossils such as the monarchy-dictatorship partisans, of dastard young males marveled at the goldendawners’ militaristic lifestyle, of disillusioned democrats dazzled by the hard boiled surface and populism of the far-righters, of neopoors whose nationalistic fantasies are their only property that’s left, of frightened petty-bourgeois people who have projected their financial dead end onto the foreigners and turned it into hatred, and of dozens of other grievous social caricatures that are trying to compensate for their misery and cowardice by adopting the pseudo-macho attitude of the Golden Dawn.
The bulk of these voters are not neo-Nazis, yet that doesn’t mean they are innocent. They are just the tail of the serpent. Of course there’s no immunity for them but the head comes first.
Very often the Golden Dawn uses some anti-systemic rhetoric in order to keep this tail intact. The anti-systemic Golden Dawn is the Golden Dawn that receives state funding, that is led by a member of the KYP intelligence service (i.e. Nikolaos Michaloliakos was in the official payroll of the Greek secret agency in its first phase), that consists of ruffians, who snitch on their own former henchmen — as is the case of Haris Kousoumvris [who was denounced by the Nazi scum after publishing a book under the title ‘Demolishing the Myth of the Golden Dawn’] — and make deals with the police on give-and-take of intelligence information about their new recruits, so that they can map the ‘far-right scene’. It is also a well known fact that the Golden Dawn party, beyond the staged skirmishes with cops, is in excellent friendly terms with the repressive forces, drawing from the police ranks a great part of its voters. So, having the cops to cover their backs, they go round unperturbed, parading their pseudo-machismo by kicking empty cartons that immigrant street vendors use or by stabbing others…
