    Finally, a huge victory over the Greek government has been archived by the revolution that the US media will not cover. In Athens, Greece, 2 university and a small part of a town have been secured and declared independent from the Greek government and all authoritarian sources. The three communes have declared that they proclaim Anarchism as their social system, and that non-competitive self-sufficient economys will soon be in affect. Though their has been several warnings from the Greek government, calling the revolutionarys "violent terrorist" that if the areas are not surrendered and the riots continue their will be more action taken against the people, the Anarchist have not given into the demands. Many police and military forces have quit or switched sides due to seeing the abusive and brutal actions they were ordered to commit, including having 5 or 6 police to corner and beat nearly to death a protester inorder to scare other protesters.
    Hopefully, more communes will be achieved and the current ones will stay strong and loyal to Anarchism.

    The only times it got violent is when the police fired on a 15 year old child and killed him, the Anarchist came back with gasmasks and burned a few government buildings down

    one day maybe all of greek will be Anarchist. Hey I have a question, If war was declared on them how would the Anarchist communities fight them like how would they lead the communities without a leader and train troops?

    Leaders and organizers are two different things. It would still be voluntary action rather then forced draft systems

    So then back on topic now, are the communities big or small ones and do they have multiple towns or just like one city per community?

    The idea of Anarchist Communes seems somewhat contradictory. A commune being based upon communal values and anarchy being every man for himself. Perhaps a better term, if these areas are in fact to be zones within Greece in which anarchy is practiced, would be Anarchist Enclaves.

    Anarchy doesn't really mean opposition to order, just to the current order.

    Anarchy very definately doesn't mean every man for himself, it means without a hierarchical enforced authority.

    Naww. The commune will eventually close just like Christiania was closed down in Copenhagen. What do you think will come from the 'fall' of government, a Yugoslavia type disintegration perhaps? Are you such a child that you think the people will be flush with money and a working infrastructure and a debt free nation if they are without government? Or maybe you believe that the EU and IMF will continue to float a nation where the government has fallen?

    The greek people like the american people will have to come to the conclusion that getting yourself out of a national debt means a long tight sacrifice and cuts, there isn't any way to get around it. Fighting with police isn't going to change that and if living in a commune makes them feel better for a short period that's great but these students inside the commune are still dependent on the relative health of the society outside the commune.
