Greece: Letter from anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziangelou to the anarchist prisoners Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar, for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners

Posted on 2022/11/16 - 2022/11/16 by darknights

DN: Missed from 18th August

Comrades Monica and Francisco,

These words travel to your side from a cell far from your own. They carry with them the same complicit thoughts that crush borders and walls. The same persistence and impatience to return to the paths of fire. These thoughts do not die every day on the bars and uniformed figures that separate us. They remain alive accompanying the same necessity for yet another coherent plan to deliver to fire and gunpowder the order and security of this aging world.

Day by day more and more pieces of sky are being given away to the steel grid. And one question torments my head more and more: is it the concrete that grows taller or is it bowing its head lower and lower? But life itself comes to answer. Prison will not defeat us, comrades. For we remain with the same pride, wholeheartedly committed to the horizon of overthrow.

New formations of direct action are being formed in the territories where we have hitherto declared ourselves irrevocably present. New plans of attack are taking shape, travelling to all the metropolitan centres the deafening necessity of attacking the exponents of violence and exploitation of the oppressed.

Travelling to the present day, the words of the Italian guerrillas of armed autonomy are necessary to remind our tyrants that uncertainty is the most unbearable thing. No matter how many years of captivity may pass, we will remain irrevocably committed to the vein of imprinting theory through practice, proudly defending the anarchist guerrilla war. We are the links in the coherence of the past, present and future of insubordination, rupture and subversion. We will not be broken by incarceration for a moment. For will and necessity in the face of captivity are like the hands of a clock: while time tries in vain to divide them, they traverse individual revolutionary paths beginning and ending always at the same point.

I send you my wholehearted sympathy while holding my breath for the hostilities to come. All our strength to the incarcerated international community of anarchist guerrilla warfare and a raised fist to every fighting initiative that insists on clashing head-on with the order of this world.

Immediate release of comrade Marcelo Vilarroel Sepulveda

We do not forget the revolutionaries everywhere who have honoured with their lives the barricades of proletarian violence.

Thanos Chatziangelou, captured member of the Anarchist Action Organization

Does the enemy lie to the right? A discussion about the current series of attacks on Green offices in the Federal Republic of Germany

Posted on 2022/11/15 by darknights

Does the enemy lie to the right? A discussion about the current series of attacks on Green offices in the Federal Republic of Germany

The following text was prepared and published by the new German-language website “Aufstand! “, the birth of which we had communicated with the translation of their introductory text, and refers to an uninterrupted series of attacks and defacements against the offices of the governing coalition party “Die Grüne,” the Greens, that are taking place all over Germany; the latest attack in chronological order dates back to November 7, 2022 when, during the night, the windows of two offices of the Greens and an office of the Social Democrats of the SPD in three different districts of Berlin were attacked with hammers.

A series of attacks on the offices of the governing party, the Greens, is sweeping through the Federal Republic of Germany these days. Sometimes windows are smashed, sometimes the facade is defaced with paint, sometimes there are communiqués, sometimes political slogans are left behind, sometimes not. All of these attacks have something in common: They are an attack against a party that in recent months has increased arms spending, exported weapons, supported wars, but whose policies have also further impoverished people, continued to poison and destroy the environment in which we live-especially through wind turbines, continued to operate nuclear and coal-fired power plants, built liquefied natural gas terminals, and so on. All of this with the arrogant smiles typical of those who are warm and full-bellied, dispensing people with the classic hypocritical advice from politicians who evidently live on another level outside of reality regarding what to do to save on shower, heating and electricity consumption. Meanwhile, these political Greens have not been sparing themselves, signing contracts for new colonial energy projects, further strengthening European borders, persevering with their murderous practices and continuing to promote investments in domestic militarization. The consequences of the Greens’ policies are proving once again (nothing to be surprised at) far more dramatic than the conservative policies of recent years. Faced with a predominant focus on the part of militant antifascism in siding against the populist right wing represented by the AfD (in fact among other things politically less influential than its leftist counterpart currently in power)-and at the same time, however, not hesitating in the face of broad “antifascist” alliances with Green organizations and their youth structures-, these “antifa” should certainly ask themselves the question whether, in fact, they are nothing more than a para-state bastion along the lines of the various communist and fascist thugs of the late 1920s. That then fundamentally this question should be asked by many among those who in fact only wish for a state with a slightly different and agreeable political form.

Shchiolkovo (Moscow region)
On the night of October 16 at about 1:30 am, an unknown person threw a molotov through the window of the military registration and enrollment office, after breaking it, causing a fire inside. This is the second time that the office was attacked in this way, after the first time on May 18, when furniture and personal files of conscripts were destroyed.

Votkinsk (Volga)
On the night of October 14, an unknown person broke into the military registration and enlistment office (where two policemen were standing in front of it) from a neighboring building, broke a side window of one of the offices on the first floor, and threw molotovs inside. The guard at the military office did begin to put out the fire after hearing the sound of breaking glass… but in the process of putting out the fire, many documents were flooded.

Archangel (Bashkiria), October 8, 2022

Archangel (Bashkiria)
On the night of October 8/9, an unknown person threw a molotov through the window of a military registration and enlistment office, causing a lot of damage inside.

Goryachi Klyuch (Krasnodar)
On the night October 6 at about 1:00 am, an unknown person threw two molotovs at the military registration and enlistment office. A fire soon broke out in the entrance of the building, but the guards heard the sound of breaking glass and the fire was extinguished before it spread.

Zyuzino (Moscow region)
On October 5, in the village of Zyuzino, an unknown person broke into the territory of a military unit at night and threw four molotovs over the fence of a barrack. Two of the bottles broke and caught fire, damaging the building’s siding.

Salavat (Bashkiria)
On the night of October 3, unknown people threw a molotov into the office of the local branch of the Communist Party (which actively supports the regime in its war in Ukraine). The fire was eventually smothered, but managed to smoke the whole room, covering it with soot. Remember that on September 24, the entrance to the premises of the United Russia party (in power) had been burned in Salavat using flaming tires.

Tuva (Siberia)
On October 1, around 2 a.m., the military registration and enlistment office in Kyzylsky district, 28 Shakhterskaya Street, was set on fire. The extent of the damage is not known. Continue reading “Russia: A month of incendiary attacks against the war” →

Germany: Aufstand! For Anarchy

Posted on 2022/10/17 by darknights

The Revolution will not be televised

So what should tempt us to think that the Internet in particular would be a place where today’s revolutionary awakenings would take place? And certainly we are not so short-sighted as to seriously consider this to be the case. Nevertheless, we observe with a certain uneasiness that both the real and the virtual spaces of exchange among anarchists of the German-speaking contexts are fading away. Even though individual projects still receive some attention and almost every tendency of informally organized anarchism has created its own web presence – even though there are still one or two printed and regularly published newspaper projects and dozens and dozens of brochures, books, flyers, newspapers, posters and stickers which are connected to the anarchist idea and wander from hand to hand among comrades – we ask ourselves, to what extent these succeed in carrying the anarchist debate into the public more than sporadically, in the (desperate) attempt to inflame at least a few hearts with the spark of the anarchist idea.

Repeatedly in the past it has been proven that if there is no better alternative, platforms like de.indymedia also have to be used for anarchist exchange. The problem is that anarchist contributions are often deleted there or – perhaps even worse – stand beside deeply authoritarian submissions that absolutely contradict the anarchist idea. No wonder: de.indymedia has always been a platform of the left and will consequently remain so. The fact that more and more decentralized (radical left) alternatives to de.indymedia are currently developing is, in our view, just as incapable of remedying the problem as other strangely conceptualized attempts to create synthesist platforms or even websites of unified organizations selling themselves as contributions to an anarchist debate.

So we want to try with this website, beyond any attempt to pursue synthesist thoughts, to open an informal forum of anarchist discussion, which includes the numerous existing web presences of anarchist projects as well as texts that have not been published on other websites before. It is part of an attempt to engage differing positions in a mutually beneficial debate, not to indifferently juxtapose the contradictory, and we are not afraid to end this attempt should it ever become that.

We choose the form of a web presence reluctantly, in the absence of a realistic perspective to launch a similar project in print or in the form of real encounters, at least in a way that would be accessible from the outside. However, we support all such projects and will likewise discontinue ours at any time should a more appetizing alternative appear on the horizon.

In this sense: Feel free to participate as you see fit and let’s raise the German-speaking anarchist debate to a new level.

La Nemesi: a new website in support of practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity

La Nemesi is a website run by anarchists and dedicated to publishing texts about the conflict against the state, capital and all authority. With the opening of this website we intend to go beyond the characteristics of so-called counter-information, giving more space to texts and contributions that more often than not, in the counter-information spaces that populate the virtual world, end up being buried in the vagueness generated by the telematic tool.

La Nemesi was thus created with the aim of publishing and spreading claim or informative texts concerning actions and sabotage, as well as articles, reports and correspondences from uprisings and insurrections all over the world. It is a kind of ‘bulletin’ of the anarchist revolutionary struggle and more generally of the social war waged by the oppressed.

Equally space will be dedicated to the publication of statements and documents written by anarchists imprisoned in state prisons, as well as updates on the prison situation of comrades, mobilisations and initiatives in solidarity, past, present and future anti-anarchist repressive operations, and in general the repression against the movement.

In addition to this, editorial news (recently published papers, magazines, sheets, bulletins, books, pamphlets, etc.) and occasional articles or extracts of texts from more or less recent publications will be included. Unlike the other articles, these latter insertions will be dictated by the good and bad taste of those who manage the website.

France: Numerous direct actions in solidarity with anarchist comrade Boris

Toulouse: Scopelec vehicle on fire in solidarity with Boris

This world is becoming more and more unbreathable every day. The techno-industrial system has a lot to do with it. In order not to be suffocated, on the night of September 12 to 13, we chose to attack. Under the gaze of the crows and the moon, we burned a Scopelec van.

At the moment of writing this communiqué, our thoughts flew to Boris who, after being locked up in state cages, continues to suffer repression by the judicial and medical authorities. The defenders of these institutions are seeking to deprive him of his autonomy in order to punish him for burning down cell towers and more generally for his hostility to their world.

If we want to stand in solidarity with people who are attacking domination, we also want to bear in mind that “their world” runs through us and that the struggle against gender oppression cannot be relegated to second place in our actions or our relationships.

Solidarity with the anarchist prisoners!

Toulouse: Action against the ZFE, in solidarity with Boris

In the night of 5 to 6 September, a charging point for electric cars was set fire to in the sept derniers area in Toulouse.

A nuclear shower has caused new mushrooms to spring up all over the metropolises, and Toulouse is going all out. Neither economic reasons nor the so-called “ecological” transition can justify either the social carnage or the destruction of the air and water.
Let the markets dry up instead of the rivers, let the birds sing and let the governance experts finally shut up.

From Coast to Coast: Open Letter by Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone

Posted on 2022/09/11 by darknights

I’ve previously written about the need to recreate an Atlantic bridge, based on international revolutionary solidarity and reciprocal knowledge, that moves towards affinity and direct action in support of our imprisoned comrades. Since then, I was recently visited by a comrade from Anarchist Black Cross Philadelphia here at the G4S facility in which I’m held. G4S is originally an American company, Wackenhut, which has pioneered the private prison and security industry all over the world. As part of our discussion between the comrade from ABC Philadelphia and myself, we spoke of the need to prevent our groups and commons becoming inward-looking and closing in on themselves in microscopic scenes and myopia. The anglophone world is particularly susceptible to this trend, although it is not solely confined to English-speaking territories. How can we translate rhetoric into practical activity? Words and deeds must coincide, and that is what?

For too long, a kind of one-way discourse has been in effect, breached by too few valiant individuals and groups. We can speak of a loss of solidarity flowing across the Atlantic between north and south, east and west. Without wanting to advocate any kind of anarcho-tourism or the colonial approach of the wholesale export-import political programs of the activist left, I’m in favor of strengthening our international networks in the face of an increased technocratic authoritarianism. To remain locked up in our local areas without considering the struggles elsewhere is self-defeating, as repressive operations seek to confine us and stem our anarchic contagion specifically to promote sterility. Can we renew an Atlantic bridge that connects our tendencies, that connects the uprisings in the North American metropolises to those in Europe, Latin America and Asia? Can we join together the struggles of the long-term COINTELPRO prisoners with those elsewhere in the global prison industrial complex?
