UK: Against their war, against their peace, for insurrection, freedom and anarchy

AGAINST THEIR WAR- AGAINST THEIR PEACE!

Under our noses the imperialist armies are massing in Ukraine, make no mistake, they are preparing, yet again, for a generalised slaughter. The British Army are already deploying troops and ‘high tech’ weapons, including missile systems to be installed along the Ukrainian coast. The Russian Army are similarly massing thousands of troops along the border, preparing for all out war.

Ukraine is of ‘strategic’ interest in the ongoing energy crisis engulfing Europe. One set of oligarchs want to place a new pipeline carrying world-poisoning fuel from Russia to the west. Another set want to frustrate these attempts to profit their own national bourgeousie. In addition to this, the U.S. and the U.K. want to bring Ukraine into ‘Nato’, their gangster-imperialist international formation which dreams only of endless war and plunder, especially now Afghanistan has been looted for all its worth, of fossil fuels as well as its opium (which continues to flood the western cities, the spoils of war!). Russia also has brutal imperialist ambitions, the only way their disgusting government of tin-pot autocrats, thieves and murderers can perpetuate itself is to redraw the class tension in Russian society into a nationalistic clash between Russia and ‘the west’.

Accordingly, this provides excellent cover for their sponsorship of real state terror, rather than the laughable antics which the british media focusses on, of providing assistance at every level to the grey beuraucrat manikins, all basically interchangable, who run Belarus and Kazakhstan, enriching themselves and those who can bribe them, while using their police to stamp on any sign of courageous upheaval.

Spoleto, Italy: NOI NON CI ARRUOLIAMO – WE DO NOT ENLIST IT/EN

Posted on 2022/03/02 - 2022/03/06 by darknights

NOI NON CI ARRUOLIAMO

Alla fine la guerra è arrivata. Dopo due anni di preparazione alla guerra, di canti, bandiere, disciplinamento, quel «siamo in guerra» annunciato a partire dalla primavera del 2020 è infine realtà. Le tragiche notizie che vengono dall’Ucraina sono la miccia che si andava cercando per la militarizzazione definitiva della nostra società.

Le guerre sono sempre un bagno di sangue per gli sfruttati e un ricco affare per i padroni. Non ci interessano le contrapposte ragioni della propaganda dei belligeranti. Gli sfruttati in Russia come in Ucraina, in Italia come negli Stati Uniti sono i nostri fratelli, il loro sangue è il nostro sangue. I governi, i generali, gli industriali, i finanzieri sono i nostri nemici, i nostri carnefici, i nostri affamatori.

L’arrogante e insaziabile espansione trentennale della NATO e la crisi interna della Russia sono state la miscela per la situazione esplosiva nella quale ci troviamo gettati. Da una parte, una lunga serie di precedenti imperialistici come i bombardamenti in Serbia, le guerre in Afghanistan e in Iraq, il sostegno a bande criminali come quelle che governano l’Ucraina, dove i sindacalisti vengono bruciati vivi; dall’altra, dei regimi, come quelli di Putin e Lukašenko, che si tengono in piedi con la colla della paranoia da accerchiamento e le nostalgie imperiali, dove gli anarchici e gli oppositori vengono arrestati e torturati. Di fronte a tutto questo schifo nessun fronte è il nostro. I nostri nemici non sono gli sfruttati dall’altra parte del fronte, ma i governanti tutti, a partire da quelli di casa nostra.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for attack on luxury altenative tourist appartments ‘Graffiti Boutique’ in Exarcheia

Posted on 2022/02/27 by darknights

A new condition is shaping everyday life in the neighbourhoods of the city centre. The pre-election “promises” of Mayor Bakoyannis* for the complete transformation of the centre of the Athenian metropolis into a tourist zone are being put into practice with the fencing of the last squares and their conversion into metro stations.

The displacement of oppressed populations from the neighbourhood of Exarchia, the foundations of which have been laid under the Syriza government, through the evacuation of migrant squats, continues in terms of class warfare through the appropriation of the neighbourhood.

The unaffordable rents, the posh shops with expensive goods and services, the cameras on every corner and face controls at the entrance of shops make it impossible for the social base to stay.

Housing becomes a commodity and capital is called upon to exploit it to the fullest. Houses and former squats are being converted into airbnb and luxury housing, which local and international capital is throwing into the real estate market at the expense of the needs and burdening the lives of those below.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson attack on a company vehicle of UNISON Facilities Management in Exarcheia

Posted on 2022/02/25 - 2022/02/25 by darknights

Regenaration, development, gentrification. Concepts that have become embedded as spikes in the discourse and action of the antagonist movement, must be seen as another aspect of the attack of the ruling classes against the oppressed class. Capital aims at subordinating the whole of life to its exploitation and reproduction, and therefore organizes more and more aspects of human activity in this logic.

The process of enclosing community/public spaces for the purpose of capital’s reproduction is a process as old as capitalism. In recent decades we have experienced the long deconstruction of social democratic management, with the mediation of the state receding, giving more room for the defensive subordination of activities of social life to capital. In this sense, a concerted attack has been launched in recent years on public spaces, squares, parks in the metropolises, transferring their management from the state to private individuals, with the aim of creating new fields of profitability for capital.

This is exactly the condition of the sale of a series of public green spaces by the Municipality of Athens to the company UNISON Facilities Services, such as the hills (Strefi, Filopappou, Lycabettus, Turkovounia), squares (Protomaya, Victoria, Kypseli, Attiki, Ameriki, Drakopoulos, Agios Panteleimon), parks (Platonos Academia, Kyrpo, Patision, Goudi) and pedestrian streets (Agia Zoni, Fokionos Negri). UNISON (formerly ISS), belongs to a category of a new type of company that, through contractor privatisations, is simultaneously financed by state-taxed, collectively produced surplus value, and at the same time intensifies the exploitation of its workers through miserable wages, flexible working hours and violation of workers’ rights.

CGL Pipeline work site attacked

Via: Act for freedom now!

Masked mob swarms Northern, B.C. pipeline work site, causes millions in damage

From Warrior Publications

British Columbia’s minister of public safety Mike Farnworth has issued a statement condemning the attack on the Coastal GasLink site.

“The RCMP is conducting a full investigation into this egregious criminal activity that could have led to serious injury or loss of life,” Farnworth said.

“The police report indicates that the workers’ camp was attacked in the middle of the night by unknown assailants wielding axes. There is no excuse for such violence and intimidation. All workers deserve to be protected from harassment and harm.”

Announcing a new multilingual anarchist book distribution – Rupture

Posted on 2022/02/22 by darknights

Rupture – Multilingual anarchist book distro

https://rupture.noblogs.org/

The passion for freedom, as well as the firmness to refuse any attempt to commercialise it, has led us to create this space to host a catalogue of books by different anarchist publishers. Written or translated, edited, and printed autonomously, these publications aim to give a concrete and coherent reference to the analyses, history, struggles, and experiences that have – and continue to – nourish our anarchist projectuality.

Our selection will not be exhaustive but will gradually increase. One will not find every title from the anarchist heritage, as it is not our intention here to create a supermarket of anarchist ideas, theories, or perspectives – not necessarily because we are not interested in all the forms this can take, but because we are in love with the idea, proposal, and practice of subverting the world of authority without delay. The freedom that we stubbornly seek is against any political strategy, suspicious of democratic consensus, and refractory to submission. So, this selection, available to all, carries the explicit intention of proposing, deepening, and refining anarchist practice that aims for social revolt, without mediation, without compromise, without anything to offer to the reform of this world.

At a time when perspectives of social revolution seem frozen in a sea of deliberate confusion, resigned fear, calculated catastrophes, technological colonization, and authoritarian hysteria, we relaunch, even more obstinately, the words in these books about and for struggle, to invite their readers to sail towards new and unknown horizons of freedom, autonomy, solidarity, conflict, joy.

This book distribution offers publications in English, Dutch, and German, available for single orders and for other distributions.

For anarchy!

Greece: Direct Action Cells – Responsibility claim for a barrage of incendiary attacks in Athens and Thessaloniki

Posted on 2022/02/20 - 2022/02/20 by darknights

Revolution or Barbarism

In recent years our days have been filled with news of deaths, with numbers of dead, with the words of “experts” who command arrogantly and boastfully from the power they have been given. They are filled with unreasonable orders and outrageous government impositions. We do not intend to extensively analyze positions on the health crisis. The tragic shortages of medical personnel, equipment and infrastructure, the “stain” of 100 deaths a day, i.e. the dire consequences of decades of privatization of public health care. The provocative strengthening of the private sector, exemplified by the big pharmaceutical companies and health giants, whose profits have reached historic highs. The re-emergence of the ‘strong’ state model to restore capitalist equilibria. The strengthening of centralised powers and the emergence of a new caste of all-round technocrats, with the role of abdicating and covering up the responsibilities of the state apparatus and shifting the responsibility for the spread of the virus to the individual. These are just some of the points that shape the management of the pandemic by the capitalist states.

Throughout the pandemic, the key issues that have dominated the public debate have been around public health, mental health and the effects of incarceration, the social exclusion of increasing segments of the population, growing class inequalities, the wider capitalist division of available resources, the role of science and technology, civil rights and the diminished role of bourgeois democracy in emergency situations.

The health crisis has affected in a universal way the relations constituting the social reproduction of capital. The inability of the social formation to reproduce the formed conditions of capitalist production led to an ideological crisis of the applied model of neoliberalism, while at the same time, following the dictum that “for capitalism every crisis is an opportunity”, it served as a key tool for the organised transition to a new era. The capitalist restructuring under way is the huge-scale operation to rescue a system that is plunging into chain crises of a structural nature. It is also the attempt to move capitalism into a new phase, something that its apologists of all kinds openly admit. It is a given that the contradictions that are developing within societies, states and big bosses will be on a trajectory of bloody conflicts in the coming years. The emergence of a powerful bloc within the imperialist bourgeoisies, consisting of the owners of the great technological giants, with the decisive potential for extracting cultural hegemony, is shaping a historical intersection in which the passage to the new capitalist formation will universally determine the lives, habits and lifestyles of the social majority. In the new totalitarian capitalist world that is emerging, the possession of information (data) will be (to an even greater extent than now) only one of the many fields of profitability of these oligarchs, who, in addition to the sharp increase in their profits, will concentrate even greater powers in their hands. On the other hand, those who live within the hyper-connected metropolises will literally become fully exploitable commodities, as they will not only sell their labour power, but every field of social, personal, consumer, recreational interest will be a profitable process for capital, they will constitute an uninterrupted flow of data. Every click, every piece of information unlocked by the algorithms on their screens will fill the pockets of their provider with profit in an endless game of exploitation and total control of every aspect of human activity.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Attacks in solidarity with the comrades of 8/2

Posted on 2022/02/20 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

On 8/2 in the early morning hours, comrade Thanos Xatziagkelou and comrade Georgia Voulgari were arrested on the occasion of an arson attack at the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection and in the afternoon of the same day, comrade Panos Kalaitzis was arrested with a unique connection between his friendly and comradely relations with the former. In the following days the charges were upgraded to formation and membership of the Anarchist Action Organization and on Friday 11/2 the prosecutor ordered their pre-trial detention.

As a reflexive and minimal response we proceeded with coordinated attacks with hammers on :

1 atm in Agia Sofia Street in the Centre

2 atm on Agios Dimitrios Street in the Centre

1 atm in Triandria

1 atm at the War Museum

1 bank in Neapoli

1 supermarket and 1 atm in Neapoli

For us it is known that the state suppresses the internal enemy when it returns a share of the violence of power and criminalizes friendly and comrade connections.

At the same time it covers up gender violence, child rape of the holy mafia and the prominent rapists of the economic elite. It tortures in the hellholes of the police stations, drowns immigrant women, murders workers and imprisons fighters.

In this social war the position we have taken is clear and it is the sharpening of action against the state and capital and the attack on every structure of domination.

STRENGTH AND SOLIDARITY TO THE COMRADES ARRESTED ON 8/2

LIBERATION TO ALL PRISONERS OF THE SOCIAL WAR

NOTHING IS OVER EVERYTHING CONTINUES

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ON THE BATTLEFIELDS
