[16/11] CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AND IN MEMORY OF ANARCHIST COMRADE KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS

Posted on 2024/11/11 - 2024/11/11 by darknights

We call all comrades around the world for an international day of action and in memory of the dead anarchist fighter and dear comrade Kyriakos Ximitiris (16 November).

We invite comrades from abroad to send texts that they would like for us to read at the political event in memory of comrade Kyriakos that will take place on the same day, in Athens.

synelallil@riseup.net

October 31 forever engraved in the hearts of every fighter. With anger and determination we stand next to our comrades

On 31/10/24, after a device explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipoi, our anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while our anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, ended up with multiple injuries and until now she is currently being treated and guarded at the Evangelismos Hospital. At the same time, two more people are arrested and taken to the investigator, with the comrade Dimitris and the anarchist comrade Dimitra being detained.

Anarchist comrade Marianna M. is being guarded in the hospital of Evangelismos, with all the repressive apparatus and the counter-terrorism agency aiming to extract the testimony of the comrade. We have not forgotten cases of torture of comrades who were captured and guarded in nursing institutions and suffered physical abuse through medical enforcement practices, with their physical, emotional and mental state being exploited. Such impositions of state power are clearly torture.

No thought should pass through their minds for further police pressure or continuation of the (pre)investigation process on the severely injured comrade Marianna, while she is hospitalized and called upon to manage the emotional, spiritual and political load after the explosion. Her interrogation is torture and all kinds of participants in it are torturers of state power. The administration and staff of Evangelism bear the primary responsibility for anything that happens to our comrade. Any member of the medical community who acquiesces or simply remains silent in such a process will be complicit in the intended state violence and attempted torture of comrade Marianna. State violence has been perpetrated on our comrade with counter-terrorist bastards fingerprinting her, while she was under the care of medical personnel, without having escaped danger, and without her consent, since she was unconscious.

Athens, Greece: Those lost in the fire of the struggle never die by anarchists – communists EN/FR/DE/ IT

Posted on 2024/11/07 - 2024/11/07 by darknights

Those lost in the fire of the struggle never die

On the 31st of October, anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was killed by an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipoi area in Athens, Greece.
The only ones who can talk about our comrade are all of us who stood beside him in assemblies, actions, demos, and clashes.

For many years, Kyriakos had been incessantly present in groups of solidarity to prisoners; in the antiwar-internationalist movement; in actions to defend the neighbourhood of Exarchia; in struggles in the universities; in the defence of squats and in every social and class struggle. He was dedicated to it, always willing to explore together its most rebellious aspects. He wasn’t simply defending the struggle by all means for social liberation from a theoretical perspective, he truly incarnated it.

Comrade Kyriakos chose to fight until the end, by all means, against the world of power, state, capital, racism, patriarchy. He chose to fight on the side of the oppressed and the revolted, for a better world; for a world of solidarity, equality, freedom. His loss creates a huge void for his family and friends, his comrades who stood beside him; a void also for the struggle, to which he left his mark by his attitude and words.

Anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was one of us. We will defend and keep his memory forever in our hearts and in every moment of our struggle.

“I know you despise them because the Court is so well armed, but let me tell you that they are so confident of their power that they feel their importance. They are come to that pass that they do not value your forces, and though the evil is that at present their strength consists only in their imagination, yet a time may come when they may be able to do whatever they now think it in their power to do.”

Comrade, we will meet again in the streets of fire where you will live forever…

Strength to our injured comrade Marianna until liberation
Honour to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Ksimitiris
Solidarity with all those persecuted for the same case

anarchists – communists

Solidarity Assembly for imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted fighters

Companera Claudia Lopez, assanssinated by cops September 11, 1998

Posted on 2024/11/03 - 2024/11/03 by darknights

Claudia López Benaiges was murdered on September 11, 1998, after being shot in the back by cops on a barricade in the La Pincoya neighborhood of Santiago, in the context of mobilizations commemorating the Coup d’État in Chile. López was an active feminist, anarchist militant and poet, in addition to studying Spanish pedagogy and dance.

Poem by Claudia López

The celestial litanies
that fill the nights of the worlds,
they incessantly question the anxious daughters of uncertainty.
They explode dazzlingly like bodies that stretch through the walls,
that burst forth through the whispers of light,
that confront the airy and torrid abysses.
The dark bodies of insurrectionary anxiety,
of the subversive desire of the lunar chains,
that poured onto the earth, they seek their names,
those they do not yet have,
that lie buried in the roots of the jungles.

Text by Marco Camenisch for the day of Memory and Kontrakultura

Dear comrades and brothers and sisters,

To begin with, thank you very much for this initiative of commemoration by our dear compa and brother Punky Mauri and for being able to participate from a distance (geographically!) with some poor words.

On the one hand, commemorations do not excite me too much. Because dear compa and brother Punki Mauri is present and alive in my mind and in my life many days of each year. At this moment or another or without specific occasion as a presence that gives me courage in moments of courage, joy and sadness, reminding me of our common courage, our common struggle in the past.

And present and future! For this reason, on the other hand, this commemoration is very just and important. Comrade and brother Punki Mauri with all our other fallen reminds us and continues to live in our common duty (individual duty in front of our conscience!) to consolidate and give continuity to this struggle in a historical moment in which the situations, the reasons and the necessity of our resistance and struggle become more and more urgent and just as the only hope for our life, for the life of our planet! And for living a dignified life! Reminding us that we are nature, freedom and life that defends itself by attacking those who definitely want to exterminate us!

In this sense, this commemoration is very important for the continuity of our struggle, transmitting from generation to generation our experiences and “historical” memories as a living contribution to the present and future struggles.

And alone, but firmly, in these struggles of all our past, present and future fighting generations our brother Mauri and all our fallen comrades and brothers and sisters remain and will always remain alive!

With a warm and strong embrace to all of you,

Marco/martino

Words by Gabriel Pombo da Silva and Elisa di Bernardo for the day Memory and Kontrakultura

May 22nd, 2024

And it still seems like yesterday… a comrade fell in action… and soon we know his name: Mauricio Morales!!!

Coherence, the determination to put together an idea as a project does not seem to be part of the path of many comrades… there has always existed and will always exist the singular individual who stands out among his comrades for his revolutionary exemplarity.

It has always been difficult to open the way and transmit confidence to our own… Our own? Yes! Our own!

Convinced iconoclasts, we believe that “our own” are those who practice what they say and with them we recognize ourselves in discourse and practice. We know the price of coherence… like Prometheus we share the word, the experience and the torment… we believe in what we think and consequently we speak.

We are persecuted when we say ours because in our discourse and practice we are irretrievable for the state and capital. And yet, indecently, when they kill us or lock us up, those who have turned ethics into an alternative programmed leisure enjoy the undeserved glow of individual rebellion.

None of our people lives and dies in vain… existence teaches us strongly refractory individuals and the absorption or alienation they relentlessly fight against.

We remember Mauricio with his wide and luminous smile… a smile that always accompanied his determination, the power of his words, the coherence of his actions.

To be consistent with our own ideas is a choice of Extreme Love and he knew (we know) that this could mean imprisonment or death and it was death that found him that early morning 15 years ago.

We continue to find our comrade and brother Mauricio beautifully violent in every sigh of dignity, in every breath of rebellion, in every action of solidarity and in every cry of Anarchy.

To fight against the States and all authorities is a duty and a revolutionary pleasure just as it is to fight against oblivion.

Dear Mauricio, we do not forget you and here we remain on the warpath without ever lowering our guard.

We embrace you in the creative chaos that drives us at every moment to reach Freedom and Total Liberation!

Long live Anarchy!

Long Live Freedom!

Punky Mauri present!

Gabriel and Elisa

Chile: Words from Espacio Fénix in memory of Mauricio Morales

Posted on 2024/06/15 - 2024/06/15 by darknights

Words from Espacio Fénix in memory of Mauricio Morales

In memory of Punki Mauri

The complicity and affinity towards a comrade who met his death attacking the Gendarmerie School, on May 22, 2009 – 15 years ago – calls us and motivates us to raise a day in his memory.

We seek to contribute to the expansion of his memory, to the propagation of his ideas/actions, to the transfer of his life, so that it can circulate among new comrades, thus extending ties, crossing territories, temporalities, generations and all the fictitious barriers that could separate us.

We believe it is important and vital not to leave our dead in oblivion and anecdotes. Rescuing their lives, their war choices, their contributions, contributes to strengthen and nurture our own journey. It puts up a fight against death and combats stagnation, making it possible for us to meet with different comrades, regardless of whether we were close, whether we live in the same territory, speak the same language or walk the same paths of time.

The black memory, as a weapon, a tool; the memory that gives us strength when we seem to lose it, that allows us to grow, in ideas, practices, values; the black memory that nourishes and teaches us, that allows us to express love, complicity, hatred of the enemy, complicity between comrades and the pain of absences.

The black memory helps us to cross the sky in any of the strokes of the kaotic star. Each one chooses how to express it, how to give it life, how it manifests itself, individually or collectively. The important thing is that he/she throws him/herself into the challenge of fighting against oblivion and domination, as he/she sees fit.

We can all contribute to the expansion of memory, in a permanent exercise, where the last word has not been said and there is still much to contribute, to say/do. This fire of black memory is cared for, fed and spread among all of us.

Mauri, tireless warrior, anarchist of action (aspiring anarchist as he liked to say), walked different paths of the anti-authoritarian idea, deploying different tools and fighting domination in every way he could.

He sharpened different spears with which he tried to stab power, its defenders and false critics. Avid in the search for coherence between deed and word, he set his sights on the jailers, trying to annihilate every last bastion of prison society.

That’s how death found him, attacking, eager to be a contribution to Anarchy. And although that stab of pain went straight to the hearts of his comrades in ideas/practice, 15 years after that cold dawn, we are still here, gathered to remember him, to talk about him, but, above all, to dialogue with him, with his ideas, successes, mistakes, with his attempts and continuous searches to keep Anarchy alive.

In this way we also discover that in the pain of absence there is also some beauty… the complicity and love for a comrade show us that death is not absolute, that it does not erase what we have lived, nor does it stop new bonds. Fifteen years after his death, Mauri is still alive among all of us.

This activity does not pretend to be a pleasant panorama, a variety of different “entertaining” acts, no. It intends to give space to different comrades, with their different expressions and ways of making memory, but always proposing to contribute to the anarchic memory.

We decided to give space to the words and reflections of comrades in prison, not only because it seems important to us to listen to them, but also because we want to contribute to the construction of that tunnel through which their ideas escape and generate that bridge that connects them with a brother who died attacking the jailers’ school, the same institution that today imprisons them.

May the idea not die, may the action spread like the worst black plague.

We continue embracing kaos.

Punki Mauri presente!

“Because when in his heart freedom, love and anarchy accompany his heartbeat: Anarchy does not die in the mouth, it prevails in the active hands” -Mauricio Morales-.

Back in print!: With blood and words – Evegeniia Iaroslavskaia-Markon

Posted on 2024/06/11 by darknights

“So, that is my life – the life of a schoolgirl-revolutionary, a student-dreamer, a friend and lover of the great man and poet Aleksandr Iaroslavskii, an eternal wanderer, an itinerant anti-religious lecturer, a writer for Rul, a street newspaper vendor, a thief with a long criminal record, and a traveling fortune-teller.” (from My Autobiography, E. Iaroslavskaia-Markon)

The manuscript, completed on February 3, 1931, anticipated by a few months the execution of the authour at the age of twenty-nine, which took place in the courtyard of the isolation block in the gulag of the Solovki Islands. The manuscript – thirty-nine pages written in dense, tight handwriting – was discovered in 1996 in the archives of the FSB headquarters of the Arkhangelsk region. In her autobiography, Evgeniia talks about herself, her life, her comrade and companion Aleksandr Iaroslavskii and their commitment in fighting ’til their last breath against the tyranny of the Bolshevik power.

Chile: Video in memory of Mauri, Canal Barrial 3

Posted on 2024/06/06 by darknights

Since 2005, Canal Barrial 3, located in the Yungay neighborhood, a place where during those years there was a strong anti-authoritarian presence housed in various social centers, has been operating.

Mauri actively participated in this television channel, making programs, broadcasting activities and financing.

These images were found in the archives of the channel, and correspond first to an activity carried out by the channel itself, after having suffered a strange and violent theft of the transmitters in the social center “Cueto con Andes”. The later images correspond to the dismantling of the donated antenna, which would allow transmissions in the neighborhood.

15 years after Mauri’s death in action, we remember him from his anarchic and committed multiformity.
