$hile: Words of the subversive comrade Marcelo Villarroel from Rancagua Prison

Posted on 2021/09/01 - 2021/09/01 by darknights

“If we are warriors let this condition be expressed in jail and in the streets and never be defeated by fear, silence and even less by repentance.”

For Sacco and Vanzetti

For our cries for freedom!!!

In memory of my Father.

More than 100 years ago the anarchists of action in some places of the world claimed to be subversives.

94 years ago were assassinated in the electric chair the insurrectional anarchist comrades of Italian origin Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on August 23, 1927 after a trial that lasted 7 years, 4 months and 17 days.

They were held responsible for acts in which they did not participate, but above all they were murdered for being anarchist subversives of action, convinced of the need for constant confrontation with the state and its oppressive violence. The excuse of power: robbery and homicide.

During the rigged process that ended up seating them in the electric chair, the solidarity of a wide range of anti-authoritarian sectors was not long in coming. All over the planet, through countless actions and gestures coming from the deepest illegality, this indestructible bond of insurrectionary complicity was expressed, capable of crossing territories, languages, temporalities and all kinds of limitations that left an indelible mark in the history of the struggle against the prison society that lasts until today.

Since then, the carictaturized figures in the innocence and victimhood of both comrades have been the predominant discourse of those who have distorted their stories of struggle with the purpose of morigrating the indesmentible insurrectionist character of the anarchic universe of axion of which they were a part.

Anarchic and subversive words from Chilean prisons, in the framework of the international week for anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2021/09/01 - 2021/09/01 by darknights

Shouts of war; true sounds of freedom!!!

In this week of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners we make an open call to war, to continue and intensify the conflict against every expression of Power and to strengthen the bonds of affinity for combat among all the anti-authoritarian sectors that exist and walk common paths.

It is from this position that we remember comrades Sacco and Vanzetti as part of the broad sector of anarchic illegalism, who were called “the Galleanists”, who with bombs, expropriations and executions made the American soil tremble at the beginning of the last century. Supported by the creation and multiplication of affinity groups and violent action, the illegalists expanded anarchic ideas from the facts, understanding that word and action are inseparable.

Since then much water has passed under the bridge, many have been the deaths and many prisons have seen the passing of comrades who have proudly confronted Power from the place where it has been their lot to be, nevertheless the ideas that translate into affinity and action have endured and are those that today motivate us anarchists and subversives of the territory dominated by the Chilean State to continue the war from this confinement and in the streets, always bearing in mind the necessary harmony between prisoners and supportive and complicit environments that walk from the confrontation with the normality of the existing.

Italy – Solidarity with prisoner Andreas Krebs

Via & Translated by Act For Freedom Now!

———

We are relaunching solidarity with Andreas Krebs, who is facing a very difficult situation in the prison of Secondigliano (Naples), all the more so as he is seriously ill. We learned about his situation from an imprisoned anarchist comrade who spent some time in jail with Andreas in Germany, and we started corresponding with him (Andreas speaks and reads Italian fluently but has some trouble with writing).

Since this rather outdated summary that we are reproducing here from a blog in solidarity with him, his health condition has deteriorated further and his lawyer has confirmed that the court of Naples has repeatedly refused to accept claims submitted by the defence up to September last year, demanding acknowledgement of the incompatibility of his health situation with imprisonment. Meantime Andreas has been waiting for a biopsy which was ordered urgently over a year ago.

Andreas is in absolute need of solidarity from outside!

Against all jails!

Alongside those who struggle!

Volos, Greece: Responsibility Claim for the attack on the AGET factory by Direct Action Cell ‘Vassilis Maggos’

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM FOR THE ATTACK ON THE AGET FACTORY

“The exploited people have nothing to manage themselves beyond the denial of their status as such. Only in this way will their bosses, their leaders, their variously adorned apologists be eliminated with them. In this ‘massive task of urgent demolition’, we must quickly seek, joy.”

ACTION REPLACES TEARS

Much was said, even more was concealed and little was done. On July 14, 2020, our eyes tear up at the news of the death of comrade Vassilis Maggos, tears that will become rage, rage that thirsts for revenge. Evamer, as he was known and remains in our hearts, was a rare blend of selfless fighter and rebellious youth. A friend – a comrade in every sense of the word, who, with a permanent smile on his face, was always willing to help his neighbour, to discuss and above all to ACT against the state’s power and social subordination. A person who more than once had faced the arbitrariness of power and the bullies of the cops as he struggled with his demons from a young age, growing up in the streets of denial and questioning. Much can be said and perhaps has already been said about comrade Vassilis, but little has been done. We pledge that this condition will change. His beating and subsequent torture by the garbage of the police after the demonstration on June 13, 2020, may not be directly responsible for his death, but everyone can understand the magnitude of the mental burden that was inflicted on him and led to his death. His indirect state murder was a predestined repressive move against the movement forces of Volos, of which Vassilis was a part, and which have been under an ill-conceived and crude industry of persecution for 13 years. It was a direct continuation of the repressive pogrom of those days, with beatings, chemicals, home invasions, filing cases against demonstrators and state terrorism. Moreover, his targeting was constant and continued after his death, with the cops taunting him with forensic procedures, not returning his cell phone to his family and charging him posthumously at the same time that the results of the fake investigation (and the names of his torturers) were kept secret. We have no illusion that justice will be done through the very institutions responsible for perpetuating social and class injustice. We know that the lengthy and covert judicial procedures are intended to cover up and launder the cops, as is the case in all cases of state arbitrariness. But what we can say is that nothing will go unanswered. We respect his family’s choice to take legal action, but for us this is not enough. It is everyone’s bet, therefore, to seek justice for Vassilis’ death and the events of last summer. It is a matter of putting a brake on police arbitrariness, and this cannot be done with comments on Facebook. Those who choose to take our comrade in their mouths would be well advised to turn their words into actions, those who shout about him in the marches should already be planning revenge actions, those who call him out by doing nothing just have a corpse in their mouths, and that is disgraceful, they had better shut up. Let each and every one of them take responsibility! That’s what he wanted and that’s what he did. Just like when he alone went and smashed the offices of the Neo-Nazis of Golden Dawn. The rest is just empty talk to justify their political non-existence and their superficial (if not hobbyist) involvement in the anti-authoritarian struggle. The road to a future world without power, exploitation and oppression is not flowered with rose petals and Vassilis Maggos will always remind us of this!

Chile: Two text from comrades Ignacio and Luis Avaca

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

Brief greetings from the cages of our comrades Luis and Ignacio

We are waiting for this concrete and barbed wire to be crossed by complicit cries today. Even if we don’t hear you, we know anyway that you are there, as you have been since we fell. For us, as for so many other imprisoned compasses. That is why we sincerely thank you for all that you have done and for all that you will do.

Those with willing hands, like us and you, know that prison and repression are always possible. It is always best to avoid them at all costs. But, when the time comes, we have to assume them as a new scenario of confrontation.

We are not masters of the truth and we do not have infallible formulas for this path. Perhaps all we can do is try, fail, learn and keep trying. One of the few certainties we have here is that, even if we are in the slammer, we will never be defeated. We have learned this from the experience of many compas who have been in this situation before us and whom we thank deeply for all their support.

We hope that the various expressions of solidarity will multiply for all the prisoners and those who have fallen. Rather than slogans, action will always be the best commemoration.

Active and combative solidarity with all those locked up in the prisons of democracy.

Fellow anarchists, subversive and revolted: locked up but never defeated!

Ignacio and Luis

Chania, Greece: Taking responsibility for attack on the offices of ‘Elliniki Lisi’ (Greek Solution)

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

In the morning of Wednesday 18/08 we attacked the local offices of ‘Elliniki Lisi’ (Greek Solution, a far-right Greek political party) on the street Konstantinoupoleos, in Chania, breaking the glass in the front of the building.

As anarchists we have stood against all forms of power, the greatest being the state and its branches. The state, inextricably linked to the bourgeoisie, uses a wide range of mechanisms of control and repression to maintain itself and impose itself.These means, whether they involve “self-control” (religion, morality) or repressive mechanisms (cops, laws, the judicial system), have a single purpose: complete individual repression ‘Elliniki Lisi’ ‘ like every party body, is another pawn of this system.

K. Velopoulos, intertwined with the fascist branches of the Nea Demokratia (New Democracy Party), returned to the prostrate to complete the “puzzle” of the state apparatus. Giving another step to the domestic petty bourgeoisie, he expresses and reproduces, on a daily basis, social stereotypes and prejudices against minorities, based on ethnic, gender and religious characteristics. Chania, as a deeply middle-class and tourist city (the seed of the Mitsotakis family) with strong localism, gentility and national habituation, is the perfect environment for a culture and normality like this to flourish and be maintained.

As enemies of all normality, we attack in many ways, with the aim of attacking it, but also of propagating our political discourse through action.

ALWAYS AGAINST THE STATE AND FASCISTS.

TO BREAK THE VENEER OF NORMALITY.

CRUSH THE FASCISTS IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD.

Compartimos este proyecto editorial virtual que enfatiza en textos anárquicos de tendencia egoísta e individualista. Buscamos desempolvar aquellas palabras filosas de aquellas individualidades anárquicas un tanto “desconocidas” y “sepultadas” por el anarquismo cristiano y social; alentando a la destrucción material del mundo que limita la vida de los anarquistas individualistas, nihilistas, iconoclastas; inclusive la aniquilación de los diversos fantasmas ideológicos que someten a los espíritus indómitos.

Alentamos a las individualidades anárquicas a continuar con sus proyectos creativos/destructivos contra la Sociedad.

Este proyecto incluye recopilación, traducción y edición de textos viejos y nuevos. Por lo pronto todo el material está en español, próximamente sumaremos ediciones en inglés. En nuestra página (//vorticeeditorial.wordpress.com) compartimos sin compromisos dos textos de Renzo Novatore -La Canción de la Eternidad y Visiones de un Niño de Zaratustra- y un ensayo de Laurance Labadie – Reflexiones Sobre la Libertad.

We share this virtual editorial project that emphasizes on anarchic texts of egoistic and individualistic tendency. We seek to dust off those sharp words of those anarchic individualities somewhat “unknown” and “buried” by Christian and social anarchism; encouraging the material destruction of the world that limits the life of individualistic, nihilistic, iconoclastic anarchists; including the annihilation of the various ideological ghosts that subdue the untamed spirits.

We encourage anarchic individualities to continue with their creative/destructive projects against Society.

This project includes compilation, translation and editing of old and new texts. For the moment all the material is in Spanish, soon we will add English editions. On our website (//vorticeeditorial.wordpress.com) we share without compromise two texts by Renzo Novatore – The Song of Eternity and Visions of a Child of Zarathustra – and an essay by Laurance Labadie – Reflections on Freedom.

Santiago, $hile: Jornada conmemorativa a 23 de la muerte de la compañera Claudia López ES/EN

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

ES: Ni un minuto de silencio, toda una vida de combate
A 23 años del asesinato de Claudia López

Desde los rincones más inquietos de la memoria nos autoconvocamos, tanto compañerxs que conocimos a Claudia desde una fraternidad rebelde como también quienes, sin conocerla, nos reconocemos en su experiencia de vida y de lucha, para continuar con el combate al olvido, aportando a no dejar que la historia se escriba por si sola, a sumarnos a aquel torrente de recuerdos que ha decantado en praxis y resistencia, multiplicándose y expandiéndose a través de bibliotecas, centros sociales, actividades, okupas, combates callejeros, acciones, lienzos, afiches, murales y panfletos.

Esta vez desde nuestra mirada, desde nuestro recuerdo, con rabia y dolor, con nuestras derrotas parciales pero también con las victorias a cuestas, pretendemos levantar, lejos de las verdades incuestionables, un ejercicio/praxis de memoria y volver a recorrer los pasos que llevaron ese 11 de septiembre de 1998 a la compañera Claudia López, la chica Claudia, con sus 25 años, a caminar hasta la población La Pincoya donde dejo su vida en la calle, asesinada por balas policiales. Tiros avalados por un Estado siempre al servicio del capital y los poderosos. De estos hechos y de esta realidad no hay duda alguna, a pesar de las infamias periodísticas o maniobras jurídico-policiales.

Que la chica haya estado esa noche en la Pincoya no obedece a la casualidad o algún momentáneo impulso rebelde sino a una decisión y a un camino trazado desde hace años en luchas y enfrentamientos callejeros, tanto en universidades como en distintas poblaciones, de igual forma en su activa participación en coordinaciones combativas, aunando fuerzas entre distintas experiencias autónomas y de luchas antiestatales.

A lo largo de estos años mucho se ha comentado respecto a la militancia política de la compañera, ésta sin lugar a dudas no puede ser comprendida desde categorías únicas y determinantes, más aun cuando eran tiempos que a partir de un acertado cuestionamiento a un marxismo dogmático por parte de quienes apostaban por revitalizar una práctica ofensiva contra el poder y el capital, se genera un acercamiento entre tendencias de un marxismo revolucionario; el anticapitalismo y la autonomía, con el anarquismo. Es en ese espacio donde la Claudia se movía sin tranzar con medios tonos. Continue reading “Santiago, $hile: Jornada conmemorativa a 23 de la muerte de la compañera Claudia López ES/EN” →

Montreal, Canada: Two Pieces of Heavy Machinery Arsoned on the Property of Ray-Mont Logistics

Posted on 2021/08/29 by darknights

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info

Mr. Raymond,

We recently learned that you qualified for a Quebec government subsidy in the amount of $580,000 for your contribution to fighting climate change. Congratulations! We thought that we should do our part as well. So we decided to lighten the load of your heavy machinery by grilling up two of your expensive toys. On the night of August 25^th – 26^th, we set fire to a mechanical digger and a bulldozer under the sleepy eyes of the night watchman.

It’s time for you to leave the poplar trees and the fish alone. Take a bit of time for yourself, at the chalet or by the ocean. Maybe a stroll through the forest will make you realize that there is no semblance of life in your concrete.

Evidently, the tireless workhorse that you are is not greatly affected by the loss of a couple machines. We see that the work is carrying on regardless. You are making a mistake. Construction must stop immediately, and we will put ourselves to this task tooth and nail, whatever it takes. May the invitation be heard for a hot fall!

See you again very soon.

Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle): Sabotage of a 5G Antenna

Posted on 2021/08/29 by darknights

Neither nuke nor 5G!

In the heights of the outskirts of Nancy, this August 18, a 5G antenna burned. ‘Neither nuke nor 5G!’ was tagged on a wall of the enclosure that protected the access.

This was one of many responses to the government’s obstinacy in forcing through its project to digitalize the world. This year will also be decisive for the nuclear waste burial project in Bure, which is also gaining ground despite local and wider opposition that has been going on for years. Nuclear and 5G are the pillars of a deadly industry.

Solidarity to all those charged as a result of these fights!
