WORDS OF SOLIDARITY FROM ANARCHIST PRISONERS OF AS2 TERNI IN RESPONSE TO THE WORDS OF ANARCHIST PRISONERS, SUBVERSIVES, IN STRUGGLE FROM CHILEAN PRISONS
“Your struggle is ours, every gesture against this world has your imprint… because we are one pack that never forgets its own and its own, regardless, of where we are” – Public letter by Marcelo Villarroel, September 14, 2019
– Internationalist solidarity for the end of the sentence and freedom of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, arrested in Argentina in 2008 after nearly 16 years in prison. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Pinochet’s military “coup” in Chile, wanted and created by North American imperialism as in Ukraine today, the comrade is sentenced by Pinochet’s legacy military justice. Today this legal aberration is applied, which coexists comfortably with the consensus democracy of the Chilean state, now ruled by the Boric left. Democracy and reactionary fascism are two sides of the same coin, tools of the Imperialist-State.
– Solidarity in the face of the beginning of the trial against comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar [the judicial hearing, the main trial phase, began on July 18], the vengeance of state rule does not stop against those who go on the offensive by attacking its untouchability and impunity.
– Solidarity with Comrade Juan Aliste Vega, also convicted by Pinochet’s military justice, and Comrade Joaquin Garcia Chancks.
– Solidarity for the downgrading of anarchist Alfredo Cospito from 41 bis. Against 41 bis, out everyone, and for the abolition of life imprisonment.
– Solidarity with comrade Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito convicted in a political trial on the abnormal charge of Article 285 c. p. p., massacre against the security of the state, or commonly called political massacre, this is the first time a massacre without massacre against the internal enemy has been used in this way in Italy. Article 285 c. p. c., massacre against the security of the state, has not been applied to the massacres that have been perpetrated in this country, Piazza Fontana, the Bologna station, Piazza della Loggia, since the 1970s of the so-called strategy of tension, massacres carried out by the Italian state, but, like Pinochet’s “coup”, wanted and created by North American imperialism in its struggle to keep the world under its control.
Here in Italy, the old counterinsurgency tools are being sharpened by dusting off imputations and devices developed by the Kingdom of Italy such as the “public order” crimes that paved the way for this, such as “devastation and looting,” with decades of years in prison for participating in demonstrations with street riots; or “special surveillance,” with no need for felonies to be locked up; as well as indiscriminately used offenses such as 414 of the Penal Code, incitement to commit crimes, which includes subversive printing, rallies, leaflets, etc.; and 280 c. p., “terrorist attack” or precisely the aforementioned “political massacre.”
But we must not forget that today more than ever this is connected to the arrangements of world capitalist development, imperialist war and preventive war against its internal enemies, no matter whether artfully constructed or not. Otherwise the machine remains meatless for the special regimes and the regime in general.
Calling to fight specifically for freedom and an end to Marcelo’s conviction by the Chilean military justice and trying to call attention to the various exemplary convictions of numerous comrades, both internationally and locally, used as a warning against those who struggle in general is the thread that connects us to the struggle against the avalanche of repressive measures worldwide.
Therefore we call for solidarity to like-minded people around the world, with creativity as the only limit.
Let it be clear, we have no faith in institutions, but that does not mean we do not use the tool of specific demands for the improvement of our conditions as prisoners or freedom for some of us.
The radicality of our struggles must be guaranteed even in the case of partial demands, such as Alfredo’s demotion, never losing sight of the goals we can and must set ourselves with the social reasons for our anarchist action. Radicality of action, of propaganda, of agitation, and always putting our anarchist antagonist ethics, with its contradictions, first on the scales and fully rejecting any maneuvering that comes from the domain that we do not consider clear for our principles. These are some of the antibodies to reaffirm that our struggle is for the destruction of authority. So that we are not equated with reformism that is compatible with authority.
Join forces to support specific instances from time to time, including a look at perspective and critique of the state-capitalist system of domination. We think this is a good way to rediscover and discover our capacities in conflict. Prison we don’t think is the heart of the struggle, the reasons that as anarchists took us to prison, yes.
We must not dissipate our hard-won energies by continuing the paths we have started and expanding spaces in our actions. Aware that by practicing solidarity as a method, even for specific goals, such as the liberation of our comrades, these struggles can make us make qualitative leaps, always pushing ourselves a little further, putting our ethics first. The rejection of any compromise, as was done in the struggle for Alfredo, in Anna’s struggle in AS2 in L’Aquila, for Giannis in the Greek prisons, etc.
To take us a few steps toward the destruction of all cages.
