Repression,-- A sign Of The State's Power Slipping.

     When it comes to attempting to crush any resistance to the financial Mafia's dictates, Greece leads the way in Europe. It has just started to transfer prisoners to its new super security prison within a prison, Domokos. However that is only because to date, Greece is the European country where the anger and resistance of the people is at boiling point. As the people of other countries strengthen their resistance to this perpetual plundering of the public purse in aid of the financial Mafia, so the state will strengthen its repression. Greece today, tomorrow Spain, Italy Ireland----?

     The conditions in Domokos are intended to isolate those who are most vociferous and active in their resistance, more than anything, the state fears the spread of of freedom of thought and of expression among the people. Such things eroded the power of the state and it will attempt strangle and crush them before they spread to the general public. At this level the state has long since abandoned the illusion that prisons were for reforming, and now openly uses them for their original and real purpose, repression. They are an inhumanity, a scar on the face of any society, a cancer in any community, a symbol of punitive power.

This from Rabble:

     Domokos prison, in central Greece, is the first prison to be revamped and classified as “Type C” under a new law passed in July. Type C prisons are the first Greek prisons that will meet Europe-wide maximum security standards. The regime prohibits day release and rules out parole for those serving life sentences before prisoners have served at least 20 years behind bars. The general operation and supervision of the prison will be tightly controlled and prison access guarded by the police rather than screws. Visits and phone calls will be restricted.
      Type C prisons are specially made for ‘terrorist’ prisoners (urban guerrillas & revolutionaries), and other detainees deemed to pose a serious threat.
The new Domokos wing opens just as more fighters from the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire are handed prison sentences of up to 25 years.
     These are the actions of a state desperate to contain the spread of rebellion in Greece since the explosion of the economic crisis in 2008. One Domokos prisoner, Revolutionary Struggle fighter Nikos Maziotis, has already issued a call for the formation of an assembly in solidarity with political prisoners. Maziotis writes:
“the passing of legislation of the Type C prisons are an expected development in the repressive attack of the State against the armed Revolutionary Organizations and against armed direct action. Subsequently, the legislative changes and reforms that have been under way for about 14 years are directly linked to the political and economic conditions, applicable for years internationally, and none other than the “war on terror” and the neoliberal reforms intended to impose the dictatorship of the markets, and its doctorate of supranational capital.”
