Letter from the anarchist comrade aris Seirinidis from koridallos prison

With a methodical police, judicial and Mediafestival operation that began immediately after his arrest me on the evening of May 3, 2010, the nation at a time intensity of class conflict, managed to put in a hostage. Moving between jocular and scientific-, construction and management of the "case" he makes me doubly exemplary prosecution. First, the notion of "exemplary" as it seeks to be an example for a steady and firm my choice, 17 years now, on the other side of the barricade, where it defines the job and class consciousness against capitalist domination and state terrorism.

Exemplary other hand, the new era of repression in the era of IMF, the total war that capital and state have declared the society. Along with the structural weaknesses of the capitalist system, the current financial crisis reveals the sham and cyclical nature of bourgeois democracy itself. At the same time the IMF, the EU and domestic representatives are attempting to impose a totalitarian system of financial capitalism, at the same time the mantle of democracy falls. Then even the most coarse scenarios worthy of the gendarmerie metaemfyliopolemikis period 'tethered' to the 'irrefutable research DNA »in the laboratories of police headquarters in Athens.

I will not dwell on the obvious violation of any legal or other pretext to manage the "case" I, on the fact that imprisonment had my proapofasistei to a floor of national security. Anyway I do not recognize any legitimacy in this system of exploitation and oppression. To those, however, that the prison I look forward to an example, I have to demur this: prison is for me a new field of struggle, a challenge match against "absolute power in the region, making the bet most barbaric institution sovereignty in a laboratory policy and ideological my maturity. As for the new repressive doctrine, in the vindictive fury that the distinction can not however hide the panic of bankrupt Greek state before the possibility of widespread social transformation of anger into a social revolt.

From the A wing of the prison Korydallos raise my fist to his comrades and my companion in all the fighting people, with the certainty that they will find again in the field of social and class war, more determined, more aggressive and stronger.
