Today we live in a media controlled society, which many people mistakenly believe they cannot challenge. As we have seen over recent years activists have taken action in the most diverse means to get their word out there and raise the banner for not only a new media system, but a whole new society.
After the tragic death of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old Anarchist, who was murdered in cold blood by Greek Police, protesters have been fighting in the streets for justice. One method they used was to occupy the means of communication. This has included state and commercial television stations. In one, protesters hold a banner in front of the camera reading: "Stop Watching. Everyone to the Streets!". While in another protest leaders speak to camera explaining their motives and asking for solidarity.
In response, a government spokesperson described the State TV occupation as “an attempt to overthrow democracy”. The action was also condemned by the old school, stalinist communist party (KKE).
