The fascist, patriarchal, ecocidal and colonialist project is gathering pace. While the elites are multiplying their Nazi salutes, we decided to salute a Tesla dealership in our own way on the night of March 2 to 3, 2025 in plaisance-du-touch.
We set fire to vehicles inside the premises with two gasoline cans. We wondered afterwards whether firelighters might not have been a more effective method.
In the face of the worldwide strengthening of the neo-Nazi movement, we are the combative anti-fascism that doesn’t believe in the myth of democracy.
In the face of the current masculinist and transphobic offensive, we are a fragment of the struggle against patriarchy.
Faced with the industrial ravages that are destroying the planet, we are the radical ecology that doesn’t believe in technological solutions.
In the face of colonialism and white supremacism, in the face of widespread misery and exploitation, we express our refusal in deed.
Through this act, we are taking part in the “Welcome spring, burn a tesla” appeal, in the international movement targeting tesla from Germany to the USA and the Netherlands, and more broadly in anarchist conflictuality.
We offer our support to Louna, charged in the struggle against the A69, and to all anarchist prisoners, to those on the run and to those who are fighting.
Let’s continue the offensive against techno-fascists!

Incendiary attack against some vehicles of the A2A and Unareti companies (Milan, Feb. 27, 2025)
On the night of Wednesday, February 26 to Thursday, February 27, a number of A2A and Unareti vehicles were set on fire in Milan.
The A2A group, which also includes Unareti (a company that, specifically, is responsible for ensuring high, medium and low voltage gas and electricity supply to Italian consumers) is a company whose shares are more than 50 percent owned by the Italian state and is involved in the production, sale and distribution of electricity.
In October 2022, A2A signed a memorandum with SIBF (Southern Israel Bridging Found, an Israeli investment fund focused on increasing hi-tech companies and start-ups in Israel and abroad) with the aim of building a joint hub dedicated to innovation based in Tel Aviv.
The memorandum also aims to strengthen the already existing relationship between A2A, the Israeli Innovation Authority and the Israeli Economic Mission in Italy.
The agreement aims to foster research to evaluate mutual investment opportunities in start-ups, both Italian and Israeli, with a strong focus on the topic of ecological transition.
The “ecological transition” at the heart of this agreement is touted as the transition to a more equitable, sustainable and healthy system. Behind this rhetoric lies the need for the capitalist system to restructure itself on the one hand to cope with the increasingly acute and frequent environmental, energy and war crises, and on the other hand to accommodate the growing energy needs demanded by the continuous technological advancement and digitization of society.
One of the main partners with whom many Western states, and with them many investee companies such as A2A, decide to enter into agreements for this purpose is Israel, and this choice is by no means accidental.
The continuing state of emergency and war that Israel claims to be in since its inception has meant that the bureaucracy necessary for foreign investment in many areas, including clearly the military, has been streamlined.
Within system-state Israel every sector of society is bent to war needs, and the intermingling of research in the civilian and military spheres is very evident. This interchange involves not only projects but also people: it so happens that among the management cadres of SIBF and partners are former Israeli national security chiefs and former executives of Elbit (an Israeli military technology company).
A2A’s choice to partner with an Israeli investment fund openly aligned with the Zionist project, so much so that it publicly declared “We are at war, but this ongoing war-since Israel’s founding-has been one of the catalysts for our innovative hi-tech industry, and we will prevail,” represents direct support for the Zionist project.
By supporting a major Israeli fund and building hubs in the Israeli capital A2A feeds the huge flows of capital that make possible the existence of system-state Israel and the Zionist occupation of Palestinian territory.
As the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank continues, we consider it urgent not to stand by and multiply the attacks against those who enrich themselves thanks to the Zionist project.

Never fit for war! Fire to Bundeswehr [German armed forces] fleet
In the course of the Bundestag [German federal parliament] elections, almost all parties outdid each other in increasing arms spending, (re)establishing German military capability, demanding even more arms exports, and obliging young people to serve in the military. The FRG [Federal Republic of Germany] has long since returned to the game of the arms race and mobilization. But wars don’t just need weapons and infrastructure, it needs soldiers, but above all a society that is willing to follow, that is ready to murder and that is ready to blindly and jubilantly accomplish all the atrocities of the world.
Never fit for war!
Not today
Not 2029
Never again
Resist the beginnings…
We are in a crisis in which the next world war does not seem far away. If this war continues to escalate, it will devastate our planet. While the US has withdrawn from the war of aggression in Ukraine, the “united Europe” stands together and openly discusses a real nuclear deterrent against Russia. Every day, events come thick and fast without us finding an answer that does justice to what is happening in this world.
This is not our war – we want a future.
What war is actually being prepared for here? And who benefits from the war?
The wars and conflicts of this world revolve in a significant proportion around energy distribution struggles, access to resources, economic interests and ultimately power. It is not a struggle for democracy, justice or values, even if this is the narrative of the rulers. The majority of people suffer from these wars, while the rich and powerful line their pockets. Western imperialism is trying to maintain its supremacy, while other imperialist forces such as Russia and China want to claim it for themselves. The capitalist system reacts to the current crisis, as so often in history, with destruction and aggression. And the different warring parties never act according to the interests of the people who are directly affected by them. War is always a war of capitalist powers, in which the people of all countries can only lose. Their suffering is portrayed as an inevitable fate and enmity among each other is fueled with nationalism.
We defend our revolutionary position on the question of war and fight for a friendship of all people and peoples!
What is happening in Germany is not preparation for the defense of possible attacks or the establishment of a so-called defensive capability. To become fit for war means to prepare to wage war. What Pistorius and Merz are preparing German society for, also with regard to a global shift in power and a new strengthening of wars to secure energy reserves, zones of power and sales markets, are wars of aggression in other countries with high German participation. To this end, soldiers are to be sent to schools, the civil clause is to be lifted and the infrastructure and health system are to be prepared for the event of war.
Here in the country, rents are rising, the social system is being undermined more and more and at the same time hundreds of billions of euros are to be made available for armaments. And there is no end in sight: In order to meet the 2 percent of GDP demanded by NATO, the special fund is only a milestone, and the debate about further increases has been going on for a long time.
What is happening here is warmongering. Where is the outcry?
A further intensification of a global war is being prepared here in Germany, so we must sabotage the centers of the warmongers.
Out of a clear mind, seven Bundeswehr vehicles were set on fire in the parking lot of a MAN workshop on the night of March 7, because we only like war equipment on fire.
No to rearmament! No to arms exports! No to conscription!
For the peace of the peoples!

Two contributions by Juan Sorroche: “The Mutual Agreement of Non-Systemic Revolutionary Anarchism or the Myth of Systemic Revolutionary Anarchism” and “A Misinterpretation of the Concept of Anarchist Individualism”
– THE MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF NON-SYSTEMIC REVOLUTIONARY ANARCHISM –
OR
– THE MYTH OF SYSTEMIC REVOLUTIONARY ANARCHISM –
Should ideological principles, concepts if not deepened nor confronted nor recognized in anarchism be assumed, assumed and accepted?
Once again, workers’ organization, strike, general strike, direct action, boycott, sabotage and armed insurrection itself are but means. Anarchy is the end.
Errico Malatesta, Syndicalism and insurrectionist organization, Monte Bove Editions, 2023
This is the second response in continuation of the critical-dialectic to certain evaluations and analyses regarding the article in “Vetriolo,” No. 7, “Revolutionary Anarchism versus Desistance.” I will use the text of “Vetriolo” as a compass for my reflections and to set forth conclusions. I don’t think they are anything groundbreaking, just a mixture of old and “new” ideas and concepts remixed. However to be honest it is also because of my little ability to write and follow with linearity certain discursive concepts that are very complex for me. And that the article touches, and they are different notions such as ideological principles, even historical, the organizational methods: the economic question in anarchism, as written in the first text, and different and very different tactics and strategies of struggle in anarchism. It also touches on what we call the more “visceral” subjective-objective conceptions of individual anarchist sensibilities. It also touches on anarchy-utopia if we want to deal in depth with the concept of revolutionary anarchism and thus the individual-collective notion of organizing.
These different notions as we see in reality are very complicated and complex of much of action anarchism. So please don’t blame me if I will be long-winded and use the writing of “Vetriolo” as a crutch and to thus develop my ideas with more linearity of analysis and criticism, more complex. But I want to try to write and take advantage to deepen the theories of the experiences of my individual vision of anarchism and anarchism-utopian. Without delegating to others.
And finally, for convenience, I will come out with separate and specific chapters as I go along. But as I said in the previous paper, which came out in the journal “Days and Nights [I giorni e le notti]” No. 15, it will be part of a whole, of a fuller pamphlet that I will title: “The Anarchist Organization of Change” “The Middle Way Planning” and “The Individual-Anarchist-Action.”
To begin to question the comparison of a complex range of concepts for me it is essential first, to understand each other, to have a conceptualization of mutual agreement. And, mind you, in common in sharing does not mean to flatten it into the all the same, but rather to be recognized in diversity in order to understand each other a little more deeply.
The article begins with this big question, “Revolutionary Anarchism?”
To begin to clarify. In part, only in part, I agree with the article by “Vetriolo,” who writes that “the revolutionary principle is inseparable from the anarchist idea.” So yes, anarchists and the whole anarchist movement and anarchism historically to date is in its majority revolutionary. So I could follow the same logic and say that even in the great majority it has been ideologically of anarchist-communist principles.
But, be careful, because to say that “the revolutionary principle is inseparable from the anarchist idea” to me is not really correct, either personally or historically.
Because in anarchism from the late 1800s until today there are anarchist individualities who do not believe, and have not been willing to take on, consciously denying it, the revolutionary principle.
Of course can I, can we, say that these anarchist comrades can be counted on the fingers of my hand? Yes. But they have been there and this cannot be erased by a majority criterion.
I believe that in anarchism, and in anarchism in general, one should not, by force of majorities or minorities, attach reasons or principles, and all the more so if they come from principles of revolutionary anarchism. Because I sincerely believe that so principles become absolute single idea, with their perfect method that everyone must adopt, they become myths, beliefs.
I believe that we must accept of the past and present the various diversities as such in anarchism, even those that are not in the least for revolutionary social transformations. But moved by other infinite motives and interests that of anarchist individualities have assumed for themselves:
For individual enjoyment? Revenge? Love? Despair? Revolt? Selfish egoism? For the sake of chaos? For the pleasure of destruction?, etc.
And this is beyond whether one likes it or not, or whether these different principles are conflicting. Just as there is no denying that there have been these non-revolutionary anarchist comrades, and that they have made their own contributions to anarchism of attack and not surrender. And I say all this from firsthand experience because I was one of these anarchist comrades who only believed in destruction and chaos and did not think about it, nor was I absolutely and consciously interested in social and revolutionary change. And this I do not want to ignore as if it were nonexistent, but instead as a constant development and part of me as an anarchist and of the contribution to anarchism that, however limited, I was able to make. This is a fact.
I would like to remind that concepts should be usable in both intuitive and logical relationships, and practical! And above all, first thoroughly discussed and shared, then acknowledged and accepted. And then, when they are accepted and enter into our articulation of theoretical-practical notions, then, for me, they are part of an anarchic collective whole. For me collective should be thoughtfully chosen by mutual agreement. Which very often, and systematically, is not done. It is a self-criticism.

What a beautiful sight a burning bus is!
The GEK TERNA conglomerate counts among its losses a staff transport bus, on 24/01/2025, due to arson. A giant company that is responsible for the greatest disasters in the Cretan environment, the Greek territory, but also internationally.
It does business and secures its profits by destroying forests and leveling mountains. It uproots people, animals and plants.
Capitalism has its own ethics: profit above all else. Arguments, logic and justice are unnecessary. As long as they’re profitable, they’ll keep going, even if they leave behind nothing but debris.
It’s not the metal sheets or the tires that are burning and smelling, it’s not the financial damage, even though they make us happy. The fire speaks for itself. It chases the sky, however elusive and distant it may seem. From the spark to the flame, and from the flame to the fire. May we bring fire to the cities, may we burn to ashes the ethics of profit and its supporters.

“Flyover” is part of a programme of 30 projects aimed at transforming Thessaloniki into a “metropolis of the Balkans”. Through it, a complex of environmental destruction, capitalist expansion and tightening social control is revealed. Opposing this design through a radical perspective allows us to attribute a material basis to a system that would like us to believe is unmistakable.
The project includes the overhaul of 13.5 km of Thessaloniki’s regional road and the addition of a 4 km Flyover, for which 187 hectares of the Sheih Su forest will be destroyed. To ensure social acceptance of the Flyover project, managed by the AVAX-Mytilineos consortium, a conscious green-washing practice is used. Its main argument is better regulation of traffic to reduce CO2 concentrations in the city. However, it is proven that larger transport infrastructures tend to increase traffic. In addition, Flyover will further cement the nature of the area, harming fauna and flora and favouring the ‘heat island’ effect, i.e. the rise in local temperature due to the heat-absorbing property of the cement.
In other words, this is all bullshit! But even if the project was viable, it would remain problematic. This is an issue with important socio-political implications which should not be dealt with solely from an environmental point of view.
Control: the spacetime of the metropolis
Capitalism needs infrastructure to ensure its enforcement and maintenance. Infrastructures like Flyover help to further control the movement of people and therefore define the relationships we build with each other.
In recent decades, global capitalism has been reorganized around regional metropolises. A network of production units that destroy the earth, exploiting the lives of humans and non-animals. With rural reforms and the use of land for infrastructure, quality of life and employment opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce in rural areas, forcing their inhabitants to move to cities. And in turn, this exponential growth of metropolises leads to further destruction of natural areas. The continuous expansion of the metropolises strengthens the power, strengthening our dependence on the capitalist-state system.
As the metropolis expands, city centres are refined and standardised. What used to be a place of residence, meeting and organisation, it is now becoming a showcase for attracting business and tourism. In the metropolis, the city itself is a product. Those who disturb the superficial ideal, the “undesirables”, the working class, the immigrants and the squatters, are pushed to the periphery. This ‘cleansing’ is made possible as roads, the metro and other modern means of transport allow displaced people to move daily from the degraded neighborhoods where they live to the shops, offices and factories where they are exploited. And as the metropolis expands, so does the portion of their day devoted to commuting. As a result, leisure time is constantly being reduced, absorbed by overtime work and transport.
At the same time, public spaces become smaller, more controlled, uninviting (when they simply do not disappear), or are replaced by cafeteria terraces, parking lots or Christmas markets. The “third places” are exhausted, with every corner of the city being used for financial profit. There is no place for socialisation without honor, let alone political organisation, which is increasingly difficult as spaces that offer alternatives (squats, universities, squares, etc.) are attacked. The only form of protest that is accepted is not only the non-violent, but the one that either does not disturb the production-consumption cycle or actively feeds it. Political discussions are transferred to the online world, social media posts replace our presence on the streets and walls of the city. We are building our own surveillance. Our opposition to the system is expressed solely through our lifestyle, from where and what we consume. Therefore, activism, as it lacks its necessary social character, turns into individual consumer practice, supplying dominant systems instead of opposing them.
So, through the control of space and time facilitated by roads and modern transportation, governments direct our behaviors to prevent any disruption to the capitalist machine.
Moreover, for this transport system to work, it requires a high level of organisation and specialisation of work that only the state can provide. It creates a vicious circle where it is at once the means, the consequence and the source of capitalist expansion. It operates in every aspect of the economy: urbanisation, fossil fuel extraction, agribusiness and nature management. A chain reaction, where the capitalist-state system spreads like a virus until it consumes every living creature, every piece of land and wildlife.
Disconnection: the nature of the metropolis
To assert and maintain its dominance, the capitalist-state system must appear as the logical evolution of our civilisation, inevitable if not desirable. And to trap our consciousness, it shapes our horizon.
In the world of the metropolises, the ground is covered by behemoths and shopping malls, motorways and railways, parking lots and data centres. People penetrate the mountains with tunnels and dig the land for minerals. They mix the limestone and the clay they get with sand from exhausted beaches to make cement and concrete. Containers and giant fishing boats empty the seas, while planes fill the skies. And as capitalism colonises wildlife, the smell of fresh air, the sense of grass and the songs of the birds disappear from our daily lives. In the smell of exhaust fumes, in the sounds of car horns and in the hasty crowd of the city-worker, we find isolation and alienation. By separating us from the natural world, the capitalist-state system separates us from each other.
In the name of the god of profit, it plunders fauna and flora, reducing them to resources that are sacrificed on the altar of civilisation. Non-human animals become meat, winds become kilowatts, trees become oxygen, soil becomes building materials, people become labour. Everyone and everything becomes a commodity.
Although capitalism has driven ecosystem destruction to unprecedented levels, most civilisations have been promoting human domination over other species for centuries. Anthropocentrism, the idea that human civilisation is separate from nature, that man comes first, allowed them to naturalise the unbridled exploitation of the rest of the living beings. A multitude of dipoles runs through our world to ensure the machine runs smoothly: male-female, white-non-white, civilisation-nature.
Many environmental discussions don’t question anthropocentrism and therefore don’t challenge the system. But it is not about “conserving our natural resources” to ensure the future of humanity, nor about “defending nature” as an unattainable ideal separated from us. It’s about refusing to stay on paths that others have mapped out for us. The non-human world is not ours to destroy or protect.

Bristol, UK: Windows smashed of BAM construction offices
On 16th February we decided instead of partaking in the vomit enducing show of ‘romantic capitalism’ to break the windows of BAM construction in Stoke Gifford, Bristol.
BAM construction are one of the biggest construction companies internationally, who contribute to the Leviathan nightmare. We’re sick of seeing their lifeless glass and concrete buildings everywhere, there’s nothing wild and natural about these smart cityscapes.
BAM have their artificial hands on nearly every construction project you can name. Our minds cast back to their involvement in the construction of a ‘humane prison’ Dedermonde in Belgium. More locally they built the new Engineering building at the University of West England that contains its new robotics lab & they are also responsible for helping to construct the new ‘Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.’ Another brick in the transformation of Bristol into a silicon valley of the UK, where technological and scientific startups along with hubs will be let to reign free. If this wasn’t enough BAM have been chosen as one of the key partners for the ‘UK Small Modular Reactors (SMR) Programme’. We laugh cynically at the idea that the UK state is implementing a net zero carbon target or even tackling climate change with this charade that shows ‘green capitalism’ is an absolute lie, just a displacement of ecological destruction elsewhere, whether it is the lithium extraction plant in Cornwall or nuclear waste from these mini Fukushimas. Clean power our arses!
“Leviathan is turning into Narcissus, admiring its own synthetic image in

It is a good time for people to let go of its sanity, its masks and
armors, and go mad, for they are already being ejected from its pretty
polis.”
Eco-Anarchists – ‘Fredy Perlman’ Gang
[UPDATE] We inform that during the hearing of February 14th, it was decided by the judge to postpone that one scheduled for the following 28th, for which a solidarity gathering had been called. The new hearing has been set for Tuesday, April 1st, the times remain unchanged.
GATHERING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHISTS ACCUSED IN SCRIPTA SCELERA OPERATION – MASSA, APRIL 1, 2025
August 8th, 2023. Following a request for ten arrests in prison, Scripta Scelera operation leads to nine precautionary measures against as many anarchists accused for the publication and distribution of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly ‘Bezmotivny’. A proceeding with which the State intended to ‘normalise’ the precautionary measures for charges concerning revolutionary publications. Scripta Scelera represents another ‘chapter’ in the war policies of the Italian state, in continuity among other things with recent repressive manoeuvres aimed at removing political practicability from ever wider social sectors.
April 1st, 2025. After just over a year, the trial against four accused comrades is coming to an end. Public prosecutor Manotti of the DDAA (“Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism District Directorate”) of Genoa will deliver his indictment, with the requests for sentencing. Regardless of the prosecutor’s inquisitorial hypotheses on alleged instigatory and terrorist capabilities, the reasons that the State intends to strike are the ones of those who opposed the war also by denouncing the Italian industries involved in the production of armaments, as well as those who supported the 2022-’23 mobilisation against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without the possibility of parole developed with Alfredo Cospito’s hunger strike.
WE WILL MEET ON TUESDAY, APRIL 1st, IN MASSA:
12:00 h. – SOLIDARITY GATHERING IN PIAZZA FELICE PALMA
15:00 h. – PRESENCE IN FRONT OF THE COURT IN PIAZZA DE GASPERI
