One of the most common accusation is raised to the Autonomous: "You are violent." Before

explain our actions, we try to give a definition of "violence". One of the most common definition states that violence is "physical or mental action performed by one person on another (even if you can; specificity of the term, include the physical and psychological action of a man on an animal). "We would add to everything, even the physical action exerted on a form of plant life (eg, trees) is considered rape.

From this first definition, therefore, are not "things": shops, cars, gas stations, McDonald's, banks ... In the case where the physical action is exerted on a of these "things", there is no violence but vandalism. When we see, then, the Greeks took to the streets to defend their lives from the capitalist crisis that is destroying, and we see them attacking the banks, we're not seeing an action violent. Violent action is that of one who has created the economic crisis, which is impairing physical and psychological life of Greek citizens and workers. Even in that case, therefore, the "alleged" violence of the demonstrators is the result of "certain" violence of the rulers and the System.

continue with an in-depth refers to the definition set out above:

"Violence does not necessarily imply physical damage. It lead to a certain behavior under:

the threat, plagiarism, the imposition of 'authorities against the will of the subject, are some examples of non-physical violence. "

This definition emphasizes three examples of violence that the citizens and workers suffer every day: the

threat (of losing their jobs would be dismissed for not having renewed the contract, not to make ends meet, to fail to pay your mortgage for 30 years, of being lynched or arrested if you protest, to be deported from a country because illegal immigrants, etc. ...);

the plagiarism (the brainwashing that we are subjects, the false pluralism of television, the proliferation of reality shows, the cancellation of the program schedules of information, moving at improbable times better quality programs, the purge Journalists 'little slave, managed by the news system, the choice of news to give, the insistence and repetition of stories, the imposition of aesthetic models and cultural filosistemici, etc. ...);

' s authoritarianism understood in its negative sense (liberticide the enactment of laws, the imposition of new taxes, protection and defense regardless of the police, the card's fan, fingerprints, the presence law enforcement in the neighborhoods of the rich and the absence of same in the neighborhoods, the restrictions faced by immigrants, the imposition of customs and cultural styles clerical or activities, etc. ...).

These three examples of violence that we experience every day, cause necessarily means a mass of addiction, a reaction of the people, or rather of his avant-garde and minorities. The possible violent response of the people must therefore be understood as a reaction to the daily violence that is subject to the same people.

The violence, therefore, should not be praised but to be understood as, often, is more than justified.
