The build-up for the annual commemorative events for the anti-dictatorial student uprising of 1973 is fully underway, with demonstrations planned across Greece. In Athens and in Heraclion, at least, some anarchist blocks will use the same slogan that had been used by the EAM, the communist movement of armed resistance against the Nazi occupation: “when the people are confronted with the threat of tyranny, they either chose the chains or the guns”.

The first image, below, is of the poster calling to the anarchist block in Heraclion, Crete; the second image is of women of the National Liberation Front (EAM) demonstrate outside the Greek Parliament during the Greek civil war.
