An update on a tumultuous week: Greek state TV is occupied (on December 13th, covered by BBC). Another student is shot by an unknowns- fortunately, this time he is lightly injured. More violence on Thursday, and then today’s events, which verge on the surreal – the police used its usual heavy-handed tactics to defend the city’s Christmas tree, against a group of 50 teenagers who thought that it is a symbol of an inappropriate celebration when a generation mourns…I am being reminded of Howard Zinn’s beautiful definition of civil disobedience:

“Civil disobedience is the deliberate, discriminate, violation of law for a vital social purpose. It becomes not only justifiable but necessary when a fundamental human right is at stake, and when legal channels are inadequate for securing that right…”

Greek authoritarianism reached a new low, today, after the tear-gassing of a peaceful gathering of students outside the Central Police Headquarters in Athens…Later, a musicians’ march (more like a happening with music) was tear-gassed too…Whose idea is that these heavy-handed tactics will make corruption, unemployment, oppression, nepotism, the minor humiliations of everyday life in Greece, and the anger they cause, to go away?

If you haven’t read Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine, you need to read it and you will see the actions in an entirely new light.

I support the protests (not so much the riots), but there has to be a unified voice with a clear idea of what to fight for. It’s not enough to say that you are dissatisfied, you need to work together to push through an agenda of wide social change. Drive the IMF from Greece and be willing to take the economic hit in order to rebuild the social system that will benefit the majority, rather than the wealthy minority.

We in America support the Greek Revolution! I have done my best to support the Greek youth by sending numerous emails, and placing numerous phone calls to Greek consulates in in the U.S. I want to be able to speak directly to the protestors. There are reports in the media here that the Greek Police are running out of tear gas. Stay strong and keep up the pressure and you will prevail!!
