Hamburg: solidarity attack on HERTZ

The next racist murder attempt of the Greek cops, but also the ongoing hunger strike of the anarchists in Italy have motivated us to attack HERTZ as a supporter of the Greek cops and thus of the racist and neoliberal Nea-Demokratia regime.At the branch in Hamburg Wandsbek we set fire to the building.

Not only in Greece HERTZ offers favorable conditions for the uniformed executioners, but also for example in the USA.
Not only the shot in the back of the head of Costas Fragoulis in Thessaloniki is an expression of the racist violence that is the order of the day in Greece. There are daily pushbacks and assaults against people fleeing at the borders. In the camps and deportation jails, it becomes clear again and again what Europe’s closure against refugees means: brutal, inhuman violence that the Greek state and other European security agencies use without scruples.
At the same time, places of rebellion and migrant self-organization are repeatedly attacked in Greece: recently the Prosfygika Squat in Athens, but also many other squats and projects face constant attacks.

Solidarity with those detained in defense of Prosfygika!

Strength to the revolt of Roma and others who are rising up as a result of the shooting of Costas!

Combatative greetings to the hunger strikers in Italian prisons who fight against the solitary confinement system 41bis – freedom for Alfredo and all others!

Victory to the revolution in Iran!

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the explosive attack on the house of the First Counsellor of the Italian Embassy – “Carlo Giuliani” Vengeance Cell

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/12 by darknights

Since 20/10 Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike against the prison regime imposed on him by the Italian state, under the name 41 bis. Alfredo Cospito has been a prisoner since 2012, having taken responsibility for the shooting of Roberto Adinolfi, director of Ansaldo Nucleare, an action carried out by the Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/IRF). Since then the comrade remains unrepentant and continues to be committed to the cause of social liberation. For this reason, the Italian state decided to impose the 41 bis regime on him from 5 May, a prison within a prison where he will be in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, with one hour of pre-trial detention and meeting with other prisoners, who will be decided by the prison management, imposing full control over him, including which of his fellow prisoners he will associate with. Communication with friends and relatives will be limited to one hourly meeting per month, behind glass, or a 10-minute telephone call where the relative will have to make it from a police station or another prison. His right to possession of books and printed materials is also restricted, as is his correspondence. The exemption regime imposed by the Italian State on political prisoners and detainees through the 41 bis is now promoted for the entire consideration of the sentence and not the 4 years for which it was originally valid.

41 bis is a regime of political, social and sensory extermination, aimed at the complete elimination of all contact with the outside world. The aim is none other than the physical and moral extermination of those who choose the path of revolutionary vigilante justice against the tyranny of the state and capital. The extermination or the forcing of them to renounce their action is the essence of the laws of bourgeois justice, the so-called “anti-terrorist” laws, which provide for special conditions, wards and detention centres, isolation, torture and exterminating sentences, intended primarily for revolutionary organisations and their members, as many as the states label terrorists.

This is where the double contradiction of state terrorism emerges. First, it labels as terrorists those who rebel against the class-imposed terrorism of the rulers, reserving physical and moral extermination through its mechanisms, and at the same time the same mechanisms do not recognise the status of political prisoner or political opponent in those whom they try to exterminate. The State, therefore, cannot do real justice because it cannot speak the truth. Bourgeois “justice” is nothing but a mechanism for imposing and perpetuating class power over society.

Since the 1960s and its own storming of the heavens, the archipelago of the revolutionary, antagonistic movement on Italian soil, with armed guarded marches, occupations of factories and houses, self-motivations, organization of armed feminist movements and revolutionary organizations has proved that nothing is unattainable. From the actions of the BR/PCC in the 90s and 00s, to the attacks of the FAI/IRF and comrade Alfredo Cospito, the revolutionary thread continues to be woven with acts of resistance and emancipation that actively declare that nothing is over, and that revolutionary projects and visions remain relevant and alive in the ranks of the oppressed. And it is this thread, the historical continuity and memory that the fascist Meloni government, and every government before it, wants to silence and eradicate. The Italian state, faced with the archipelago of the revolutionary movement in its territories, has been forced to develop a series of repressive and counterinsurgency tools for decades, of which the 41 bis regime is an evolution. To this day, with the life-long imposition of the 41 bis torture regime, the Italian state is clearly leading its political opponents, those who try to do justice for the oppressed, into isolation and torture.

Xanthi, Greece: Responsibility claim for attack on Piraeus Bank ATM

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Another state murderous attack, just one day before December 6, when cops murdered 15-year-old student Alexis Grigoropoulos. The 16-year-old Roma, Kostas Fragoulis, was shot in the head by cops over 20 euros of unpaid petrol. Our anger will drown you!

Late in the evening of 6 December we caused material damage to the Piraeus Bank ATM in V.Konstantinou as a minimal expression of anger against the murdering state. It is clear that any targeting of a bank is a legitimate and honest act, since they, committed to capitalism and its perpetuation, suck the blood of people all over the earth. As long as we remain inactive in the war we are currently living through, we will be complicit in the rot.

THE BLOOD FLOWS WITH VENGEANCE – THE FLAME OF DECEMBER HAS NOT YET BEEN EXTINGUISHED

Athens, Greece: ‘Why burn SPEEDEX?’, Claim for arson attack on vehicles of SPEEDEX by ‘Anarchist Threat’

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson of vehicles (vans/trucks) that were outside the SPEEDEX store in Botanico on the morning of November 27.

With this text we do not wish to present a bulletin of analysis of the daily misery but we want it to be part of the promotional insurrectionary material. The attack on the capitalist mechanism and its little pieces of shit is at a crucial point since we are reaching again a socio-political, economic crisis that comes to neutralize with precision, the increasing impoverishment, unemployment, high rents, repression, the bottom-up. In this dystopian present the judicial ”greatness” hand in hand with the politicians and all kinds of state self-immolators bail out and acquit rapists, murderers (see Korkoneas/Zack case) while imprisoning, convicting and repressing struggling and marginalized people. The tragedy of the reality we live in has no end and everyone is quietly watching as uninvolved spectators, ‘rebelling’ media-wise (We will not make our criticism of these individuals who maintain and perpetuate a liberal democratic world in this text).

We dedicate this action to the courier delivery workers who in the Covid years experienced a unique labour misery, carrying on their backs the insane needs of all the petty bourgeois and non, who in an effort not to be bored, ignoring the possibility of breaking the measures and working conditions in the sweatshops of the Hellenic Post, General Postal Services, ACS, followed to the letter the dictates of the capitalist system: CONSUME-CONSUME-CONSUME. In an empty city for 1.5 years the courier company vans and deliverymen flooded the city streets accepting the social anger of ‘late parcels’. Social cannibalism at its best and the bosses rubbing their hands. Taking the example of the struggle of the SVEOD and the distributors against e-food, we have to harshly criticize the apathy, victimization and lack of organization of the rest of the workers against the bosses and the state that year after year are gaining ground in labor. Take it back by force.

We dedicate the attack also to the 11 Turkish militants and comrade Alfredo Cospito who are on hunger strike and to all the comrades who are on hunger strike in solidarity with Cospito. Through this action we send fiery signals of solidarity to all political prisoners of the world.

Solidarity to the recently imprisoned comrades K., Panagiotis B., Lambros B.

P.S.1.: At the time of writing this text we are flooded with rage at the murderous attack of the uniformed bastards against the 16 year old Roma boy.

P.S.2: Don’t worry, everything will be answered in turn.

Rome, Italy: Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Five years later, we publish – taken from the website anarhija.info (DN: English translation from Insurrection News) – the claim text of the explosive attack against the Carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district of Rome. Consistent with the need for support for the practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity, we consider it equally important and necessary to find, and therefore disseminate, the documents and claim texts.

* * *

Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI (Rome, 7 December 2017)

In times of social peace and compliance there is no better reply than action. A stimulus, a continuity and a jolt to wake up those who sleep.

Acting on one’s own initiative breaks the compliance and inaction and ignites those whose blood boils.

The anarchic praxis of attack must be the basic stimulus of anarchy, otherwise it is a walking dead. Action is necessary to make us alive in the ways we consider opportune, removed from every program, hierarchical and vertical structure. Many revolutionary practices are part of an anarchism in its bowels.

We have decided to take our lives into our own hands by breaking the oppressive peace that surrounds us.

On the night of the 6th to the 7th of December we placed a steel thermos containing 1.6kg of explosives outside the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district in Rome.

Fivizzano, Italy: ‘Capitalism is voracious, our rage ferocious.’ Claim of the incendiary attack against four CAT machines, by the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

Capitalism is voracious, our rage ferocious. Claim of the incendiary attack against four CAT machines, by the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy (Fivizzano, November 2022)

The Informal Anarchist Conspiracy is anarchist and informal, therefore without organisational programmes or leaders, the result of the free union of individuals moved by their own will and reciprocal felt need to strike at those responsible for the misery.

In November, one year after the burning of two vehicles at the Boccanaglia Alta quarry, the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy celebrated its birthday by doubling down on the avenging fire. Four CATs from the Walton quarry in Castelbaita (Fivizzano – MS) were completely burnt.

Unfortunately, apart from the birthday, there is little to celebrate. Tons of mountain pieces are taken away every year, with terrible consequences for nature in all its complexity. Also paying the price are the inhabitants who find themselves without drinking water or with floods that will continue to hit the area.

Marble mining is part of the capitalist system of exploitation, to the point of depletion of every cm of soil, water, subsoil and so-called resources. The extractive economy is directly linked to the wars that from Yemen to Ukraine fatten the bosses. Every single industrialist is responsible for climate change, as well as for the existence of borders and the thousands of people slaughtered in the Mediterranean and in lagers defending borders.

It is known that the bosses are hypocrites and fill their mouths with deceitful words. Big speeches about energy transition, emission reduction and other green masks are on the lips of politicians, bosses and phoney environmentalists. They propose and promise reconversion. They practice the destruction of this planet, the moon, the universe and everything. They talk a lot about alternative energies but never about alternatives to capitalism. Because according to them, this is the best of all possible worlds. We remind ourselves that exploitation and devastation is done on the skin of the many for the profit of a cowardly few.

Volos, Greece: Responsibility claim for the breaking of the New Democracy headquarters during the 6th December march.

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

During today’s march, a political intervention took place, specifically breaking into the offices of the New Democracy Party. We broke the glass entrance, then went up to the 2nd floor, broke the door and threw white paint.

The above action took place on the occasion of the attempted state murder of 16-year-old K. Fragoulis on the eve of December 6, the boiler room explosion that led to the death of a student in a primary school in Serres and the provocative attitude of the Prime Minister who praised the cops with 600 euros.

Patras, Greece: Responsibility claim for attacks on supermarket chains

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

At dawn on Monday 5 December, we attacked supermarkets of large chains in the city of Patras, with sledgehammers, causing damage. We chose the supermarkets:

Sklavenitis on the El. Stratiotou

Sklavenitis in Notaras

Market In on Souda Street

It is known to all that accuracy and the unbearable cost of living are not “sky-high” concepts that “happened” to be created by the war in Ukraine and the revaluations it brings, as the Greek state sells as a narrative. On the contrary, they are the result of an increasingly deepening crisis that capital has been in for at least 15 years. In the midst of this crisis, and the opportunity it presents to the world’s rulers, wealth is being redistributed, geopolitical balances are being redistributed, new energy hubs are being created and overall competition is intensifying. In this context, the effect on everyday life for the vast majority of society is more brutal than ever. More and more impoverishment and misery, the imposition of a working dark ages and modern slavery.

In this crisis, the state and capital are attempting ever harder, more totalitarian changes in their functioning, imposing ever harsher conditions on our lives, creating the necessary conditions and situations for the further plundering and exploitation of our lives and the natural world for the sake of their profitability.

The Greek state is certainly moving in the same direction. Only in the last 10-15 years we can mention the memoranda, the neglect and dismantling of the public health care system for the benefit of private interests, the continuous subsidizing of banks from state funds, costs that fall on the backs of society, financial scandals in every sector, bills for the exploitation of the environment, the dismantling of the remaining public character in education and health, the anti-labour bill – the infernal Hantzidakis bill, the tightening of repression and criminal treatment especially of those who struggle and so much more.

Claim of sabotage against the TAV railway line in the Turin – Chivasso section in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike (Piedmont, Dec. 1, 2022)

On the night of 30.11 to 1.12 sabotaged the Tav line in the Turin-Chivasso section, burning some cables, in response to the international appeal for Alfredo Cospito. Alfredo out of 41 bis! Alongside Juan, Anna and Ivan. Less words more unpredictable and incisive actions, striking where it hurts most with direct actions in the darkness of the night.

Anarchist Individualities.
