I wonder, is it so bad to have a police force you wouldn't want to mess with?
No problem at all, as long as all the laws are just and the police's methods of command and deployment are always just, and every copper is individually just.Failing that, I see a big problem.
In Greece, as in Italy and Spain, the police force has never recovered from the years of fascist government. There's an Athens police station with a monument to the officers executed for Nazi collaboration.

And having a fascist-riddled police force defending the advance of multinational capital is gonna do that? The anarchists in Greece are *opposing* the far greater violence, destruction and misery that their government and the neoliberals are imposing.
It's precisely because they *do* see a better world is possible that they're attacking the obstacles.
