"Our aim is to climax our struggle at the second trial, whenever this is appointed. We invite you to support this struggle by all means." Comrades, This letter concerns the case of the anarchist fighter K. Mazo- kopos, who, as you might already know, was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment by the first court decision. We would like to remind you briefly that K. Mazokopos was arrested at the hospital to which he had resorted after an explosive mechanism had accidentally gone off in his hands, thereby causing him the loss of his left eye and his left hand up to the wrist. The next day (8 Nov. '90), the police discovered guns, ammunition and printed matter in the warehouse where the above incident had taken place. K. Mazokopos was immediately charged with theft and possession of explosives, explosion by negligence, as well as participation in the execution of the psychiatrist of the Athenian penitentiary (Korydallos Prison), on sole evidence of a pamphlet found in the warehouse, for which the armed organisation Revolutionary Solidarity had claimed responsibility. As was known to us and was proved later in court, the pamphlet had in fact been mailed to the Union of Anarchists of Athens, where Comrade Mazokopos was correspondence attendant. Two significant developments followed upon the excuse of this tragic incident: (a) A "criminal hunt" was released among the anarchists and the extreme left, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of the fighters Koyannis, Bouketsidis and Bergner, allegedly members of the "Mazokopos group," who were finally reprieved after a long hunger-strike. (b) The enactment of the anti-terrorist Act was accelerated. The purpose of this act is to annihilate visibly, morally, politically and socially either those who have made the choice of armed struggle, or those whom the police or the Secret Services occasionally consider necessary to present as such, that is, every time their force of social control and repression is challenged or questioned. The latter is the least apparent but most frequently used feature of the Anti-terrorist Act: its very endorsement was based on constructed evidence and the inflation of facts concerning our comrade. It is indeed notable that since the reestablishment of parlia- mentarism (1974-5_), respective laws and unjustified arrests were not the outcome of tactical victories of the State against armed organizations. Quite contrarily, they were enforced either because the State would feel threatened by social unrest, or for the psychopath's monomania which one of the gangs that control it would use to distinguish itself from the rest and perform "counter- terrorist services." This also explains the disproportion between constructed evidence and factual truth: In twenty years of armed struggle in Greece only two guerrillas have become known, the revolutionaries Ch. Tsoutsouvis and Ch. Kasimis. They were both assassinated by the police (1985 and 1978 respectively) in confrontations that were brought about by chance rather than preparation and plan. As for comrade Mazokopos, the security forces charged him with as many accusations as could be squeezed out of the warehouse in a highly arbitrary way. In the trial, our comrade admitted having rented the warehouse in 1983 with a forged I.D. for the storage of an archive of anarchist printed matter. On leaving the warehouse in 1988-89, two other persons took over, the names of which he never got close to disclosing. The unlucky incident occurred during the last withdrawal of his own archival material. For his outright stance and his refusal to become a traitor, the court convicted him for a devastating 17-year prison sentence. He was nevertheless discharged of the accusation of the psychiatrist's murder and the three were completely acquitted, as Mazokopos had also asked for in court. We, as friends and comrades of K. Mazokopos, do not accept any of the accusations against him and continue our support (a significant part of which is financial, political and moral). Our aim is to climax our struggle at the second trial, whenever this is appointed. We invite you to support this struggle by all means. We believe that this case should become known in a wider radius than we could handle, for K. Mazokopos is one of the purest and most honest Greek fighters for Anarchy. There is also need for his financial support, given the conditions of his health and his proletarian background. Moreover, we should coordinate our actions in such a way that the issue of solidarity to K. Mazokopos acquires international status. We will inform you about the date of his second trial at the Appeal Court (around which our struggle will reach a peak), as soon as we know. Greek consulates and embassies are some of the sites where internationalist Anarchist Solidarity can be demonstrated.

Miranda: I broke a squat twice. Once I got away with it and once I got caught. I have had other people break a squat and then just lived in it with them. I have lived in about three squats. In Berlin, Pixie lived in a squat and I did for awhile as well. We have been squatting all around the world, but not on a long-term basis. A: What are the different places that you squatted? Pixie: Chronologically, I came over to Europe from South Africa, and went directly to Berlin where I started to live in a squat, and then Miranda went to London and her and some other South Africans broke a squat in North London, which was quite amazing because it was six or seven women, all very powerful women, and we were all from South Africa where you can't squat. It is impossible because there is no extra housing because the population is so high. People don't even know about squatting. They were squatting in London, and I and another girl were in Berlin living with punks in a squat. I came over, and there was space in that squat. We stayed there and then broke another squat. The squats were quite short-lived. You do have rights. It was a council house, which was quite a sound thing to do if you are living in a council house which is unoccupied. LAWS AGAINST SQUATTING M: Except now there is a law going through which is going to make squatting illegal because at the moment it is a civil offense and not a criminal offense to squat in England. Along with taking out the sites and cities for travellers and their vehicles and making parking your vehicle on public land illegal, they are trying to bring through a law which makes squatting illegal. P: If you are travelling or have no fixed abode, they are just clamping down. Before you had rights as a squatter. You had rights to be on land. We lived in a vehicle for awhile. Now they are passing through these laws which make it impossible. M: They will introduce these slowly. The law will go through and it will be illegal. They obviously can't put all 70,000 squatters in London alone into jail. P: There is a huge amount of people squatting. M: They will leave people there, but slowly but surely tighten the law, so it will not be a radical thing, but squatters are going to be squeezed out. It is historical as well, going right back to the vagrancy laws in England. P: It is completely iniquitous because there are so many homeless people and there are places that are derelict that people have left because the mortgages are too high to pay for their land, so they abandon their house. You can go around to certain areas and all the houses are boarded up, so if you are squatting, you can be chucked out anytime. You always have a couple of squats in mind that you can break in a night. They can get you for stealing electricity or water before they can get you on occupying the house. The best squat is if you get a house with hot water and electricity, then you are fine. In one house we had electricity upstairs and only cold water. You can make do though. It was in winter. It is really exciting. M: The electricity man comes around and you can't deny him entry because he has to be able to look at the meter. Although the police cannot evict you, the electricity man can come in, then he can say to the police "They are stealing electricity." and then the police have an entry right and can kick you out. P: So they have a way around it. They have a squatters manual which squatters and anarchists have put together. There are organizations that you can go to that help you legally, so that if you get evicted or get shit from the land-person, then you know what to say in court and how to put eviction off. BREAKING THE SQUAT P: We got evicted from this house and there was another squat down the road. When you break a squat you should go one or two, change locks, occupy it and then you are fine.=20 [You stay in the house. =FEM]=20 There were quite a few of us, ten, we made a bit of noise and the woman upstairs freaked out. "No way are you squatting here, I have had enough..." She wouldn't talk to us. We said "We don't want to bother you, we're gonna live here quietly." She went and called the police, but meanwhile she put her washing machine drainage outlet through the floor, and we were squatting underneath, and it just flooded, a huge, huge waterfall. It must have been three or four upstairs. She must have been completely crazy.=20 [And messing up the house, you can't live there. =FEM]=20 And then the police came. We had changed the locks and said "We know what our rights are, you can't come in, etc., etc." and the cops just started to kick the doors down with their boots, these boots kicking, kicking. There is nothing you can do. Supposedly you can take it in to court, but you can't. They are doing something that is uncivil, unjust. The same night we got chucked out of one, then chucked out of another, then we went back to the first squat and suddenly we were surrounded by cops again. Flashlights ev- erywhere, there must have been six or seven cops. Then the land person was there and they let us stay a bit longer in that one. M: We made an agreement with the person who was in charge of the house. Basically what is happening is squatters are being evicted and then someone else moves in and re-squats. That is what happened with that house. It was a really easy house to squat because someone had squatted it and been evicted when we moved in. When we spoke to the owner, it was like, "You guys can stay here, but will you leave when we ask you to?" We said, okay, we will leave when you ask us to, and that will be about three months time. He said, "Yeah, in three months time." We struck up an agreement with him, which he broke. P: You can't trust them, and you can't extend it in the court by saying "We don't have our legal evidence together, we want another week or two." Basically that was a done-house, so we left. BRIXTON AND ACRELANE P: We knew people in Brixton, which is South London. Certain areas of London are squatting scenes. The info-shop is in Brixton, it is anarchist, there are animal rights people, and a lot of squats because it is relatively low-echelon economically. There are a lot of derelict houses, but a lot of very together people. There is also a squatting organization and people helping you out, living for skiffs [dumpsters]. We met these people who were squatting a clothes shop, and a whole lot of people had been living there for awhile. We were welcome to stay there. That place got evicted, but it took three or four months so they had their home all that time. M: Every squat has a different story. There was a big development in Acrelane, with thirty-seven people living there. The police raided the place, they were completely out of their legal rights. They kicked everyone out, you had to pick up your stuff and go. If you weren't there and didn't have a friend there, they chucked your stuff out on the street. P: It was obviously housing a lot of illegal people from Czechoslovakia and South Africa. We weren't illegal, but that is the cover, the police come and want your identity. SOLIDARITY P: There is a very good feeling in London, the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of squatters. If you get chucked out and need a place to stay and there is a squat, it is an open house, a home, and people respect it as their home. With squatters there is a really tribal feeling about them.=20 [squatting was amazing from that perspective. =FEM]=20 If you met a squatter you knew you had something in common. You are fucking the system and you are going to look after each other. M: It was a really positive thing because you are bringing life into a house that is being left dead and taking people off the streets. We did a lot of planting vegetables, and cleaning and painting the house, cleaning up the garden, a lot of really good things in one squat.=20 [Except that we trashed it afterward. =FEP]=20 Then we were evicted so we trashed it. P: We didn't do it personally, but it got trashed because there were black fancy fireplaces and light fixings. There were about fourteen of us living in one squat. It was a semi-detached house that we knocked through, so it was a really big house. All over Brixton there are these big houses with communities living in them. It is really an amazing feeling that you get from the whole thing. There is a big difference of feeling from squatting there and in Amsterdam or Berlin. In Berlin the biggest squats are more established, and they are very politically active, as much as London, but London was smaller. The one I stayed at in Berlin was thirty-six people. They were hardcore punk anarchists, they weren't politically active, except for beating-up fascists. I suppose that is active. We had just arrived and didn't speak the language, when we met them on the street they said, "Come, stay in our squat." We lived there for a couple of months. We had never squatted before, having just come from South Africa, but they were really good to us. POLICE REPRESSION P: It was crazy, us coming from white South Africa and how we were treated by the law. In South Africa you could do anything really and you were still kind of protected. When you squat in London, suddenly you were given the same prejudice that we have seen the white South African police force give the black people. Treating them like scum. We have black cops chasing us into our squat and arresting us for nothing and treating us like complete shit. The cops know where your squat is. They know who is doing what and who is not abiding by the laws.=20 [Especially in Brixton, because it is very political. =FEM]=20 Yes, and the cops are really quite hardcore. One time we went for a drink at the pub, but we weren't drunk or anything, and the guy who was driving wasn't drunk. The cops were circling around the pub and once he went around the corner we jumped into our car and drove off to our squat. When we got there a cop was waiting for us, and then they called back-up and suddenly there were eight or nine police and riot cars. We just drove home from the pub. Then their sirens carried on, basically riling us and everyone came out of the squat and wanted to know what the fuck was going on, why we were being treated like this and then they were making us angrier and angrier so they would push us, then they arrested us. They took us somewhere and dropped us off and we had to walk home at four o'clock in the morning through one of the most dangerous areas of London. They were playing with us. M: Recently just before we left the squatting scene, because of this law, there has been a blitz going on with the coppers. When our last squat was evicted at the same time there were five or six of our friends in different squats all being evicted at the same time. It was really hardcore.=20 [It was a surge. =FEP]=20 Evictions are going on more and more, they are not being done legally either. The cops are tired of playing the squatters' rights game because it goes through the courts and everything. So they are being more and more illegal about it, forcing there way, making it look like the squatters are being disruptive and then evicting them. ANARCHISTIC ATTITUDES P: One has to consider that most of the squatters are anarchistic, fucking the system.=20 [What percentage are anarchistic? =FEA]=20 All of them.=20 [All of them. =FEM]=20 Maybe not terminology-wise, but definitely in London none of them are towing the line in terms of the system. They may not call themselves anarchists. A lot of them are into petty-crime, nothing that we would have thought of as crime. We used to live a lot out of skiffs, you call it dumpster diving. We had a skiff behind one of the shops. It is illegal, they can get you for shoplifting if you take food that has been thrown away. People are caught for that. We lived out of the skiffs, because you got no money. Then they tell you you are living off the system because they are giving you the dole, and you should stop fucking them over. Meanwhile they are making you apathetic and giving you the dole and then making you angry and then silencing you. It is a continual political struggle. I definitely found in London the squats are much more friendly than in Holland or Germany. In London they take you in immediately. I have heard quite a few people say that the solidarity of squatters in London is quite amazing. WITCH'S SQUAT A: You were talking about the house you moved into with seven women. How did you meet together and decide to squat? M: There were five women and ourselves. They were South African girls and I didn't know them in South Africa.=20 [We went to the University together. =FEP]=20 I didn't know them, but because we were all in the university together, I knew someone who knew someone and we met because we were South African ex-pats in London and got together to see each other. We got along really well. I chose to hang out with them because I could identify with them. There was a lot to learn from those girls. It was an excellent squat. It was really nice to see women getting it together and doing it and breaking into the house and changing the locks, holding the fort. When the squat was broken and all the locks had been changed, because it was an enormous three story house, we were all exhausted and really scared. It was a dark and dingy house. We all went into one bedroom and laid down and went to sleep. We hadn't been asleep for more than half an hour when we heard this banging on the roof and scampering around. We thought, "Oh, God, who is here?" What has happened in the past is heavies have come in, bashed down the door, beat you up and ejected you. Who knows who they are working for and why they are doing it. That is a danger. We didn't know what was happening and we sat upright and there was a guy on the other side of the door who happened to be squatting the house completely alone, a lone ranger. We spoke through the door, negotiated, and agreed to let him into his own home which we had taken possession of. We ended up living with him, which was really cool because he was a Londoner and he knew the ropes.=20 [He was a real squatting-man. =FEP]=20 He had been squatting for years and years. He has five squats going at a time because he is on the run from the cops. He has different homes to go to, so he was delighted to have one of his homes brought to life. It was a really good community. He taught us a lot and we taught him a lot and we were really busy with womanly workshops and spirituality in the house. It was nice.=20 [What kind of stuff? =FEA]=20 We explored the Gnostics at the time, we were going to a workshop in a place in London and we were trying as a group to apply what we heard.=20 [All philosophical readings, Tarot, I-Ching, Crystal reading. =FEP]=20 Exploring lots and lots of things.=20 [Things that we didn't have access to in South Africa. There was more reading matter and people working in London. South Africa is a bit behind. =FEP]=20 We didn't interact with men at all.=20 [We used to draw on the walls and play together. We were right next to a park and we played tennis, showered and danced and went to Stonehenge together, yoga. It was actually brilliant. =FEP]=20 Wasn't it wonderful? All women.=20 [Yea, it was completely wonderful. =FEP]=20 It was really nice because there was no one to tell us how to do it except Stan-the-man.=20 [He didn't really have much to do with it. I think when men came there they were quite intimidated. It really felt like a clan of witches. The energy in the house was very witch-like. This is our space. It was nice. =FEP]=20 Bloody nice. SEXISM A: What is the sexism within the anarchist squatting movement? What are your experiences with that? M: It differs from place to place. P: Mostly we were involved with people who were completely correct. In London there was very little sexism within the squatting scene. You were a woman and you were a man. It was just a gender thing. M: I never felt sexually harassed by any squatter. Never, ever.=20 [No. =FEP]=20 I think we may have harassed some boys once or twice.=20 [Feminism was just a basic given, an understanding. =FEP]=20 Since I have come here I have been amazed at the sex workshops and how they have been received with such awe. "We need this and we haven't spoken enough about this." In England it was easy, though they were just the people we were involved with, there is obviously still a lot of sexism in England itself. WHO THE FUCK CAN OWN THIS TREE? A: How do you feel about the abstract concept of ownership of land and property in land? P: I think the craziest thing capitalism ever has done is to allow people to buy and sell land. I think it is completely sinful and evil. Who the fuck can own this tree?=20 [Who put a price on anything? It is completely elitist that land belongs to some people and not to others. =FEM]=20 There is so little you can do about it because you just get hurt every time.=20 [Everyone can walk across a piece of land and just by walking across it you surely own it. =FEM] ARREST AND SOLIDARITY M: If someone goes to prison or gets nicked for something by the cops all the people are with him completely. They go to the jail and wait. The Earth First!ers call it an "affinity group." If a person is in trouble, you're completely there for them. If they get nicked for shoplifting or anything, immediately someone gets the word out and it brings the energy and they work with the people. Two weeks before we left, which was about a month ago, they were having a party and there were a lot of French and Hungarian people there illegally. The coppers came and tried to break in. We said "You can't break in, we're having a party. We'll turn the music down if that is what you want." They called back-up and stormed the house and hectically beat up the squatters. They arrested about eighteen of them and kept eleven in custody. They beat up the squatters and then accused them of assault. They had to stay in prison and then give them two thousand pounds to get parole and they had to check in every single night at the prison to sign on. They weren't allowed out of the Brixton area. They were fucking with these people with laws. P: One British person and eleven people from Czechoslovakia and France were kept in the system. The British person was set free, but he has to sign in at the Brixton police station every day, which means you can't leave London at all, Because you can't go anywhere in one day. You aren't allowed out anyway. All the others had a thousand pound bail in order to come out. The court case was set for six months time. They were going to be held in remand for six months if they didn't get a thousand pound bail. We knew only a few of them personally. We squatted only with the one guy, who was a really good friend of ours, but he is chased by the police everywhere he goes. The other people we didn't know so well, but everyone in the whole area was pooling. There were benefits every weekend. The people we were squatting with wrote up pamphlets and passed them around at demos. The amount of money raised was unbelievable. At every festival they sold beer or cider and profits were donated. Suddenly all their energy went to saving their people, all ten of them.=20 [Ten thousand pounds was raised by people who have nothing. =FEM]=20 If they had wanted to go travelling, they wouldn't have made the money because they wouldn't have had the passion to do it. They didn't do it for themselves, but they suddenly put out all this energy and got the people out of prison, which was absolutely phenomenal. They have one set of clothes, don't have cars or houses, but they have money to get people out of jail. I am feeling very positive now. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ San Diego National Love and Rage Conference By Mark E. The 1993 Love and Rage Network met in San Diego at the Che Cafe from July 7-11. The Che Cafe is a dynamic vegan collective, meeting area and place where bands play. During the conference volunteers, fully enjoying themselves, cooked yummy vegan meals (and lots of green beans) three times a day. Many people slept in the cafe's tree/plant sanctuary or on the nearby beach. The Love and Rage Network has primarily consisted of a national newspaper produced in New York and Mexico City and of loosely- affiliated groups around North America, and has coordinated some national actions. Amidst discussions friendly but divisive controversy surrounded the interest of some in a membership category within Love and Rage. Membership would include: 1) receiving Love and Rage publications 2) a negotiable $25 fee to pay for this communication 3) some representation in Love and Rage decisions (through council delegates). Approximately one half of the group supported this proposal to build a national organization for future coordinated national actions. The other half in attendance wanted to maintain the loose network and thus thought a membership category would be too much "politicking" for them. Ultimately the anti-organization people (about 15) left to allow the pro-membership group to succeed in their proposal. Many anti-membership folks said they would continue to work with Love and Rage but not be members. Opinions varied with this non-consensus membership decision. Some saw it as the first step in building a stronger, more organized anarchist movement and felt fully justified in ignoring the consensus process in favor of continuing the work of building an organization into which they had already placed much time and energy. Several viewed it as the latest in a series of Love and Rage dissenters being frustrated and pushed out of the network and newspaper production group. Many production group people have left because of "backroom politics" and because a small group was always forcing its agenda, according to several confer- ence participants. Others accused Love and Rage of "party-building" and "top-down organizing" because the "exclusionary elitists got their agenda as usual." Further the Neither East Nor West group stated they would not petition for the reinstatement of "On Gogol Boulevard" in the Love and Rage newspaper because of other outlets for "OGB" and because of Love and Rage's instability and "leninist strain."=20 Love and Rage is attempting to counteract these accusations of vanguardism by acknowledging this centralism and by shifting many network function to the Bay Area (POB 3606, Oakland, CA 94609). With the pro-network people leaving, the dozen or so left at the meeting decided not to choose permanent council delegates and to change the name of the network to the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation. Earlier the group decided to concentrate on working against anti-immigration sentiment and continuing anti- racist actions. Mexico City anarchists will continue producing Amor y Rabia. Political prisoner campaigns, poster printing, the May 9, 1994 action against immigration controls and phone trees are the latest work of the post-conference federation.
