This is most questionable. The forces of repression certainly have a
strategy for repressing mass opposition, and central to that strategy
has to be discrediting the mass movement as much as possible *before*
initiating violent repression on a massive scale. The use of
provocateurs to prod stupid extremists into firebombings, etc.--or to
throw the firebombs themselves--is a standard tactic in executing this
strategy. Why should it be different in Greece?
