Vitry-sur-Seine, France: Tires slashed for Spie and a private security firm in solidarity with rioters of Adolphe Chérieux High School

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

In mid-November, a car belonging to the Spie company (among others a prison builder) and a car belonging to a security installation company had their tires flattened.

Action in solidarity with rioters from Adolphe Chérioux High School, in Vitry-sur-Seine [town near Paris; Ed], among whom some have ended up in jail and others will go to trial in February. Last week, the students blocked their high school, some clashed with the police and destroyed elements of street furniture (cameras, etc.). This mobilization was partly against the Parcoursup post-high school selection system.

What possible contacts between anarchists and minors in the struggle?

Down with the school, an institution of perpetration of the state, which has more to do with a prison than with “the freedom to learn.”

Solidarity also with anarchist prisoners.

Anarchist Ivan Alocco has ended the hunger strike (France, December 1, 2022)

Ivan, incarcerated in Villepinte prison (near Paris), lets us know that he has ended his hunger strike. Today, December 1st, he started feeding again, after 35 days of hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito’s struggle.

He is well and sends a strong hug in solidarity to Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Toby and everyone outside the prisons.

On Thursday, November 24th, during the interrogation by the investigating judge, Ivan made a brief statement and then said he had nothing to declare in response to the judge’s questions. His statement, as far as we know, was more or less this:

“I am an anarchist. I support every act that goes against the state and capital and towards social and individual emancipation, including the acts of attack of which I am accused in this proceeding.

I am currently on hunger strike, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, a comrade imprisoned in Italy, in solitary confinement, in the prison regime called 41 bis”. He then complained about the repeated blocking of his mail, which isolates him even more.

Meanwhile, he received some mail.

The investigating judge used his statement, among other things, to justify her unfavourable opinion of the request for release, saying that the comrade “does not question his acts and ideology”.

To contribute to our comrade’s financial support (for legal costs), you can send money to:

Rome, Italy: Interruption of a performance at Argentina Theater in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against 41 bis

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

Today, Nov. 26, 2022, the performance of “Hamlet” at the Argentina Theater in Rome was interrupted. Despite the fact that the theater workers turned into a full-fledged security service to protect the interests of the bosses, we determinedly managed to go on stage, unfurl a banner that read “There is something rotten in Italy: no to 41 bis,” throw leaflets, and read part of the communiqué, which, below, we quote in full:

We are here because Alfredo Cospito is in 41 bis. 41 bis is a detention regime specifically designed to annihilate the individual. We are here because Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month. We are not here to cry over an injustice suffered by our anarchist comrade, because it is not. Just as it is not a legal aberration. It is the logical reaction of the democratic-state to the attacks launched by Alfredo. First physical, with the wounding of the bureaucrat Adinolfi, at the time CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare and for which he finished serving the sentence to which he was sentenced. Then with the words with which, while in high-security detention, he contributed to debates in the anarchist movement. The 41 bis to Alfredo is not only revenge, it is also a willingness to take away the word. Because speech, when it does not remain a mere rhetorical exercise: it is a weapon.

Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month to get his downgrade and against hostile life imprisonment.

He has been joined by anarchists and prisoners Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino. They use the hunger strike because in the condition of isolation in which they find themselves it is, perhaps, the only form of struggle available to them. With strength and courage they put their safety, their lives on the line … while you are sitting here watching a sham and do not realize that everything is. Daily something is taken from you, for the moment, on you it has no consequences and then you turn away. Blinded by your privileges you think democracy is the best possible system and you look indignantly at exotic nations where people are trampled. You want truth and justice for Giulio Regeni and you don’t give a shit about the 14 deaths made in prison on March 8, 2020 by Italian democracy. You don’t give a shit about the 80 prison suicides that have occurred since January. You don’t give a shit about the migrant concentration camps scattered around the beautiful country.

We have not come to raise your awareness. If you still sleep soundly-we spoil your fun.

We break the social peace in which you bask.

Death to the state!
Long live Anarchy!

Varedo, Italy: Attack on Lega headquarters in solidarity with Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

Striking a party like the Lega Nord means attacking institutional nationalism, racism and xenophobia. It means fighting the politics of “law and order.” Last night, Nov. 23, the windows of the Lega Nord headquarters in Varedo, a municipality in the Milan hinterland, were smashed.

This action is a concrete gesture of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (and the other imprisoned anarchists who support him) who are fighting to the bitter end against the double torture of 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. The latter measure, moreover, was recently reconfirmed by a decree passed by the current government, of which the Lega is a member.

No amount of repression will stop anarchist conflict.

Tuscany, Italy: Sabotage of a cable bundle in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

Sabotage of a bundle of cables in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 28, I SET FIRE TO A BUNDLE OF CABLES ALONG THE FLORENCE – PISA NORD HIGHWAY. I CHOSE TO SABOTAGE THE LINE AFTER READING ON THE CABLES THE NAME OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES POWER LINE AND FIBER OPTIC CABLES. TO DO THIS I TIED TWO PIECES OF WOOD WITH WIRE ABOVE AND BELOW THE 6 CABLES. I INSERTED DIAVOLINA INTO THE CRACKS AND SPRINKLED THE WHOLE THING WITH GASOLINE. I DO NOT KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE ACTION BECAUSE THE MEDIA DID NOT REPORT ON IT. THE ACTION IS ALSO MEANT IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, WHO IS ON HUNGER STRIKE. NO PUNISHMENT CAN DETER THOSE WHO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, THOSE WHO KNOW NO CALCULATIONS AND COMPROMISES.

Athens, Greece: ‘Life is not so good.’ Claim for the incendiary attack on an LG van in Kaisariani

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

In the early morning hours of November 19 to 20, a van of the multinational company LG (life is good) in Kaisariani, was torched. Life is good only for the bosses and the rulers of this world. For us it becomes good only in moments like this, when we are attacking. We dedicate this attack to the Turkish fighters who are on hunger strike demanding a fair trial and to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike against the 41bis regime.

Solidarity to the 4 comrades who are being persecuted for the case of “comrades”.

We send fiery signals of solidarity to the 4 imprisoned comrades accused of the attack on the Piraeus traffic police and to the imprisoned comrades D. Hatzivassiliadis and V. Stathopoulos, who are currently undergoing an appeal.

Practical and aggressive solidarity with all political prisoners.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Stickers 2022 – Anarchist Hangout Nadir

Posted on 2022/11/26 - 2022/11/26 by darknights

Excuse the chaos.
It’s an order you don’t understand.

Les autres suivaient sans y penser, les chemins appris une fois pour toute vers leur travail et leur maison, vers leur avenir previsible.
Pour eux deja, le devoir etait devenu une habitude, et l’habitude un devoir.
Ils ne voyaient pas insuffisance de leur ville, ils croyaient naturelle l’insuffisance de leur vie.
Nous voulions sortir de ce conditionnement, a la recherche d’un autre emploi de paysage urbain, de passions nouvelles.

(The others followed without thinking about it, the paths they had learned once and for all to their work and home, to their predictable future.
For them, duty had already become a habit, and habit a duty.
They did not see the inadequacy of their city, they believed in the natural inadequacy of their life.
We wanted to get out of this conditioning, to look for another way in the cityscape, for new passions.)
