Greece/Ukraine

Hello

I am ukranian, living in Greece/Thessaloniki
well, well, what to say, I am 30, been married, widowed now. Truely to tell I've never considered myself as a hippie, but my life style is quite close to a hip-one, I think. I like to travel, meet people, I work here and there to make my living, I change places quite often, usually staying at friends' or renting an appartment if I am going to stay more than a couple of months. All my property is just a few personal things like my laptop and cloths My main interest is changing this world to a better place, no, I am not a political freak, but I am political, on a level that helps me understand what's going on around me. I do not held any strong religious belief or ideology, and always open to new ideas. What motivates me nowadays is progress of mankind in all aspects of its existence.

Thx!

 

Hi! I don't know what u think bout russia, but nice to meet u! Peace!

 

I want to visit the Ukraine at some point in my life, I'm particularly interested in the town of Pripyat.

I seen videos of the ghost town on youtube.

I find the culture of Ukraine fascinating but terribly tragic.

 

Thessaloniki?!
Wanna make the world a better place, get onto the street!

 

been there dude
screaming and destroying around won't change anything, if the next morning we go to work, use our credit cards and buy gas for our cars.it will only force government and its instititutions to act in a more violent and aggressive way towards civilians. we have to boycott such things like bank corporations, gas corporations and monetary system. we have to make this sytem fail, and it is only possible if we stop supporting it. so we have to start building communities that would be independent from gas or electricity companies, we have to stop supporting the world's bank system. Police and its brutal behavior is not a problem, but its consequence

I ve been on the streets not once, been poisoned by tear gas, yelled a lot, threw stones and run away at the end. now they did shoot a 15 y.o boy, conclusions? this is an out-dated method, it doesnt work anylonger, people with guns against people without guns= we both know what will happen

I like Russia

 

Your absolutely right. The question becomes, how to prevent that energy from dissipating. How to make it grow, and to diversify. This is what I find so exciting about the Greek anarchist movement. Granted, I'm not there, and so I'd be very interested in any insight you might be willing to share, but I have been watching the situation for a number of years now, and what I'm seeing looks to be a genuinely diverse and multifaceted uprising. People of all walks of life out on the streets, resisting in whatever way inspires them. I fail to see how a simple refusal to participate- even if it were widespread and well organized- would be sufficient to bring the state's collapse. They ARE hitting banks- and the gas companies- the very foundations of the system itself. Appeals for recuperation by the left seem to be rejected almost universally... It doesn't look like ANYBODY wants to go back to work. It's not simply a matter of withdrawing support. The Greeks are destroying the very building blocks of oppression.

Geez... sorry, I really don't intend on turning your thread into a discussion on Greece, but I'm just so excited about this. I'll start a thread in the politics or anarchy forum. Please feel welcome to join.

Anyway........... Welcome to hipforums.

 

Scratch that- someone beat me to it. It's in the anarchy forum. Hope to see you there.

 

I like watching documentary's about ex-soviet military people, I think its interesting that 20 years + after the fall of there formal government some people still show fear about talking openly about what it was they did for the union.

Wasn't it Stalin's birthday a few days ago?

 

crazy horse

i'll be there

 

rudenoodle

not sure about stalin's bday, but things are pretty messy in russia these days, as well as in ukraine

watch out, documentaries can be tricky, depends on who and on what purpose creates them

 

crazy horse

just posted the whole letter for you in activism/greece

 

Yes I know, do you have any links to non biased representation of Ukraine and the soviet union in general?

 

i will look for and post them here later, if I find any that are worth of yuor attention to my opinion
