The incident comes after a series of violent attacks in recent days by members of Golden Dawn against political rivals, including both communist activists. Below we publish an appeal published on this occasion by the Communist Tendency of SYRIZA.<http://www.marxismos.com/greece-menu/greece-movements-menu/greece-labour-movement-menu/1935-antifasistiki-prokiriksi.html> United anti-fascist defence groups everywhere - United Central Anti-Fascist Militia now! [image: pavlos-fyssas] The fascists have murdered a left activist. Words of anger and indignation are not enough. Now is the time for mass anti-fascist united action. Everyone should come to the anti-fascist gathering today at 17.30, Amfiali Square. We need Anti-fascist Self-Defence Groups everywhere - a Central Anti-Fascist Militia. Read the statement below of the Communist Tendency of SYRIZA. Last night's murder of 34 year old anti-fascist fighter Pavlos Fyssas in Amfiali by a member of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn, as well as being a heinous political crime, is an alarm call to mobilise the labour movement and the Left. Coming immediately after the violent attack on communist militants in Perama, the murder of the anti-fascist fighter proves that Golden Dawn is a ruthless gang of fascist assassins at the service of big capital, aiming not only to terrorise, but also to physically eliminate fighters of the labour movement and the Left. Faced with the escalation of the murderous activities of the fascists there is only one way forward: massive, united, organised and effective anti-fascist action. All organisations and activists in the labour movement and the Left are now being targeted. The most urgent task for all unions and workers' parties, all organisations and tendencies of the Left, is to protect the movement and every fighter from the ruthless fascist violence. We should sow no illusions about the role of the bourgeois state, the "security forces" and the "law enforcement". It has been historically established - and this has become evident in the case of the Golden Dawn - that the police does not persecute the fascists, but instead, plays the role of financing, organising, supplying arms and protecting them. The protection of the activists and the labour movement from the murderous fascist violence, is a task that can be fulfilled only by the movement itself relying only on its own forces. Democratic wishful thinking and the invocation of the state institutions, which are the cover of the organised, reactionary violence of the ruling class, disorients the movement and emboldens the fascists. Now is the time to act, and for this action to be effective, coordination and unity of all labour and leftist organisations is required. In order to organise decisive and effective response to the murderous fascist violence, the Communist Tendency of SYRIZA proposes: - A United Front of the trade unions - SYRIZA - KKE and other left-wing, anti-fascist organisations on a concrete programme of mass action, for anti-fascist self-defence and combating fascist violence. - Establishing anti-fascist defence groups in the neighbourhoods, workplaces and education institutions by all organisations of the labour movement, youth and the Left. - Establishing a Single Central Anti-fascist Militia with selected members of the anti-fascist defence groups, to undertake the task of guarding and self-defence of the mobilisations of the labour movement and the youth nationally from the attacks of the fascists, and the official state repression.
