Fascism is crushed by popular struggles!

The transphobic and homophobic attack in Thessaloniki it is not an isolated incident, but on the contrary It captures the fascism of public life, and indeed the resonance racist and fascist attitudes at younger ages.

Such phenomena we have observed in particular in the Prefecture of Heraklion, where Fascist groups are active trying to make the presence their felt. There has been an incident of assault on a minor with a knife in Heraklion Square last May, after an antifascist march in N. Heraklion. A similar case with a knife attack occurred and after another antifascist mobilization in Kallithea last year in February. Also, let's not forget the murderous attack on Shiraz Saftar in Perissos in August 2023, which most likely He was covered up so as not to appear to be racially motivated.

Are all these natural results? When from the lips of the official political scene and its policies "Serious right" are heard statements that wink at fascism and suggest that young people look for enemies who "alter the culture and values of the nation" and responsible for the impoverishment and impoverishment of the popular strata, but supposedly They officially condemn fascism. When on social media Models of masculinity, cruelty, misogyny, racism are projected and more generally hatred towards anything different.

The Young people carry anger at the system. As long as the popular struggle and The movement does not give real answers to the young generation in the face of attacking the system, children and young people will become more susceptible to such attitudes and ideologies, because of their need to belong somewhere. With the logic of "us against them", they are attracted to the fascism that offers them just all this on a plate.

The Fascism in the form of the far right is no coincidence that it appears more and more worldwide, and especially in our country. It is the Long arm of capital and the bourgeoisie, presented as antisystemic force, aiming to strike at the struggling people and the minorities and repress them in the name of the system in which supposedly opposed. Fascism is an extension of it capitalist system when it is struggling.

It is It is important to create strong networks of struggle based on resistance the politics of the system that nourishes fascism but also the solidarity and unity, opposing fascism and racist ideas. For this reason, youth and parents must politicize, recognize and fight fascism, confront and respond to such attitudes and ideologies in any place, educational or not.
