Personal (perhaps heterodox) conclusions from the youth uprising in December 2008 in Athens.
1. 

In December I learned not to celebrate anniversaries. 

Our lives are founded every moment.
2. 

The rebellious youth of this country decisively turned their steering wheel towards the rejection of statism of the nation state and statism in general.
3. The well-meaning libertarian values that flourished in the West in the last centuries, and spread to a boundless globalism, were established in the youth of this country, in its most active part.
4. 

Anarchism has acquired eternal roots in this country, so even if it is tormented by sectarianism, especially here, it will be an integral part of any future insurrectionary or revolutionary process. 

Anarchism in this country after 2008 became bureaucratized, it became a fashion, it fell into the bureaucratic spider web of the radical left, but nevertheless it has been established as a structural element of its culture, so in the future it will come back in other, more vibrants forms, it will be bureaucratized again but again it will come back.
5. 

I am not an anarchist but I have to recognize the reality in which I live. 

My confrontation with anarchism will continue "infinitely" but nevertheless I consider it as a current, a crazy but living current.
