uhuru (freedom) To block the march... to protest against it... Against a march that takes place under honourable patriotic slogans but conceals a much worse reality. What they call the „third position” means in reality rascism, fascism, xenophobia and all these bad things we stand against. dance out your rage and strike right into the hateful world spill your resistance on the pavement tie a colourful scarf around the grey mass get out on the streets in the rhythm of a common responsibility get out on the streets and shout in the name of freedom They are slowly getting more and more powerful and we still don't do much to stop them. Think about it, they are building a new system. there will be no equilibrium until you won't say stop to injustice there will be no peace until you won't say stop to discrimination there will be no safety until you won't say stop to pressure and violence Think about it, they are building a new system and it is not something we are going to like when they rise to power. It is another system, another opression and I hope that fascism, no matter if in its polish, german or soviet form, will not pass. dance out your rage and strike right into the hateful world spill your resistance on the pavement tie a colourful scarf around the grey mass get out on the streets in the rhythm of a common responsibility get out on the streets and shout in the name of freedom Because for every antifascist every new day is another demonstration. because for every antifascist every new day is another demonstration are you afraid? that's good look into my eyes fear is something that links us all do you feel pain from the batton blows? you are still alive that's all it means do you feel resignation? do you feel the passion? that burns insde you just like napalm it also means something, you know? that we are right do you feel the gas in your lungs? take a deep breath grab my hand and hold it tight this crowd is a resultant of life it's a sum of all falling stars all our tongues full of cries all the questions that still have no answer it's every doubt that dwells inside and can't be expressed everyday it's a carnival of rage and fury what? we didn't fit into the trend? it's us who don't have any perspectives on changing things without theory or practice a sequence of numbers filling the statistics but I am the whole crowd and the whole crowd is me it is grigoropoulous przemyk and oscar grant itoya, guilliani and all the others murdered by the police by this masked organism perversly called guardians of law by the gun of the state stuffed into the mouth of your loved ones only to kill Since national states have existed their goal was to protect the cititzens. It is manifested in the way we are treated, better or worse according to the nationality in our passport. And so by implication we may see that people of other nationalities, that is the people who have already suffered from wars and natural disasters – I am talking about refugees – are treated in a worse way. They do not have the same legal status as we do, they are economically excluded, they are being discriminated. That's why we may never forget that fascism and nationalism wouldn't exist if there hadn't been national states first. you'll see us in TV read about us in the papers criminalisation of tactics squeezing activists into subcultures quotations out of context and minimalisation of the message to zero that's anarchism in the media an antifascism perfect for critics that will be easily consumed by populist demagogues blind warriors autonomy for the servants is a fertile soil for political investments it's a movement that can be easily destroyed by police and state provocations it's us, dimming the shine of politically correct neo-liberals it's us, on the stage covered in smoke and accompanied by gunshots it's us, the unresponsible youth, the unreflecting, apolitical rioters or just the contrary, political kamikazes it's us, the only ones who had the courage and you? what did you hear? what did you think? tell the truth For every antifascist every new day is another demonstration when they oppose discrimination. When they protest when a Vietnamese is pushed around in the bus. When they protest when during a family celebration some grumpy uncle gabs that everything has been bought up by the Jews. When they protest when a Ukrainian cleaner earns less money than her Polish counterpart. When they protest when someone says that non-Poles that come to our country steal our jobs. When we do not oppose these things we, frankly speaking, are not much different than the fascists. We have to repeat it in our heads a hundred times every day: „Equal rights for everyone!” This text is about the more direct and physical side of battling the fascist side of the people, the fascist side of the state and about its reception by the society. There are as many tactics as there are tacticians, as many wars as there are warlords and this kaleidoscope is really wonderful. Demonstrations, blocades, physical clashes with the police and fascists are elements of the anarchist as well the antifascist movement, no matter if you like it or not. As every choice in life, the decision to physically, hazardously, snotty, aimlessly face these elements of the system implies some consequenses, creates doubts and dillemas. Our decision to do it doesn't mean that we think it makes no sense or that we do not know why we do it. A friend of mine was once asked: „So you are an anarchist?” The answer was: „Believe me, sir, I have my reasons.” You may laugh at me, I also ridicule your life created by IKEA, men's magazines, Fashion TV and TVN (the biggest Polish private TV broadcaster, the symbol of the neo-liberal media in Poland).

Antifascist Great Poland (the idea of a catholic „Great Poland” that ranges from one sea to another [what is meant is the Black sea – the Ukraine is for many nationalists a territory that should be owned by Poland] is very popular among Polish nationalists. The title „Antifascist Great Poland” is a sardonic allusion to this concept.) I remember I felt irrepresible fear that tormented me with fast heart beats but was striken by the enthusiasm that I'm not here by chance that I am not alone, that there are thousands of us that even if there are prohibitions, I will still say what I think I will describe, depict, sing out word for word the whole antifascism from beginning to end. unified in a thousand stares in a thousand risen hands active resistance against nationalists active resistance against repressions actions to block the road to the destruction of every myn's freedom wherever he/she is on the map unified in a thousand stares in a thousand risen hands I remember the look on many faces when they waited for the detained in pouring rain that they weren't there by chance that they were not alone, that there's millions of us that even if there are prohibitions we'll still be standing up and shouting out from the barricades word for word the whole antifascism from beginning to end unified in a million stares in a million risen hands. for everyone of us for whom antifa means living for whom antifa means friendship, we will not be forgotten and when they haul you in unfoundedly once more i will again stand there on soaked soil with dry socks in an apple box beside someone with a megaphone and when they once more ram a knife into your back i will again move heaven and earth and from the stain of your blood from my broken heart i will rise with new power and i will not rest as long as i feel the taste of humiliation no matter if you're you or you're me This text goes to the November 11th Alliance and especially to the woman that continuously gives me faith that we will make it. There are people who utterly unwittingly fill you with zeal and motivation to act. And to two guys from my neighbourhood, especially for you Beniut as it was your bloodstain. It happened about ten years ago, but I remember it as if it happened today. Also in memory of the knife in Chirurg's back. I will have no remorse for abuses against defendants of the right to live in a world free of racism, fascism and xenophobic inclinations fueled by agression and a sense of superiority.

Kałach (Kalashnikov) let's go, you and me where human cries are heared where humans create evil and enforcement where atrocities are boundless stop, you and you consider when human senses had the right to use and to meet human desires free yourself and me of these inhuman beliefs in shadows of masters, presidents, sultans don't lie to me anymore we won't be lied to not anymore

bhangra to (the) Max let candles and police stations burn max was killed max is dead what more can i say everything was said by one gunshot that no one gives a fuck about because judging from the circumstances this life wasn't worth much ask his wife and kids how they felt when they got word the circumstances? come on, man he was killed by the revenue service during a raid the reason? illegal trade welcome to poland a.d. 2010 fights for a cross lynching of gypsies the nigger is dead fuck him. are you happy? another scumbag's gone remember that he left three kids behind that raised with love will carry in them the fire of fury against poles especially these wearing uniforms the fucking gallow awaits rubble dubble there'll be trouble there's no other way when the self-proclaimed authorities kill innocent people because they don't fit into their world view clouds like they had been laid with a spoon stretched spilled all over the sky wait for someone to notice them to see how the world spins round and round a drop of sweat that runs between the thighs must melt the grim shame the last bells shall ring bells shooting from pistols pow pow bang bang saint symbols pow pow bang bang blood has to be spilled pow pow bang bang a caravan of colours pow pow bang bang another death pow pow bang bang This text is not directyly connected with the events on 11.11 but concerns the murder of a black-skinned Nigerian, Max Itoya, that happened on the 23rd of May 2010 on the marketplace near the 10th-Anniversary Stadium in Praga, one of Warsaw's districts. It is unnecessary to comment on the event but the circumstances and a wider look on the migration policy of the state as well as the problems connected with it demand not only a comment but also broad criticism. Mybe our Polish reality is not strictly racist but events like this and the official discourse of public reaction show how far we still are from the ideal. Consider whether this death has changed anything, whether anyone got to understand better how deeply rascist and xenophobic the society we live in Praga, in Warsaw, in Poland is. Do you think our glorious civil society was changed by this event?

about

Simbola Antifaszista is a musical project that was created by a couple dozen of people who, by playing some music together, wanted to express their stance on the fascist march in Warsaw on the 11th of November, on the muncipal authorities' unreflecting decision to permit this march as well as on state repressions against people who decided to take matters into their own hands and to prevent the spreading of xenophobic slogans on the streets.
