Editorial (Translated from Spanish into English, publication only in Spanish)

Anti-prison solidarity and permanent anti-statism conflict

“Prisons are today, and always been, punishment weapons that the establishment uses against anyone putting at risk private property. The exploiters use repressive systems for this matter in order to carry on their privileges and keeping the order and laws they shelter on, their filthy status quo. (…) It is time to take action, on an everyday basis, along with our related comrades, for the destruction of the prison society and any social attempt to amend this filthy death system. Solidarity must never be an empty slogan, but an everyday action against the establishment and a constant support to our brothers and sisters kidnapped during this war to death”.
-Mauricio Morales, praxis anarchist.

Solidarity and action goes hand in hand, they are not empty words lost somewhere, and we forge a relationship with our imprisoned comrades on an everyday basis, a political and caring relationship that goes beyond the prison walls. This relationship is seen when we make actual support gestures, and when we feed into our rallying cry. These different gestures we make with numerous comrades inevitably crack the control systems that the establishment keeps against the prisoners. It is a milimetric crack, but it is crucial. It is known that the control and punishment imposed: the disastrous dynamics between some of the prisoners, coward wardens that lose their minds with a little bit of authority and forget that outside the prison they walk as we do. Anyway, it is necessary to keep on multiplying gestures, we are talking about visits, letters, assignments, propaganda, and action. We must get involved in the action for the anti-prison fight, know the resistance history of many of the fighters that here as well as in all around the globe, had left, and keep leaving their experiences as life lessons, since it is known that who are against the dominant social order and against the ruling class that allows this to carry on, and act against all of this: the prison, the underground movement, even death can knock our doors. This is why we must keep in mind the state maneuvers that may fall on the ones that decide to rebel against it. Continue reading “Chile: Tiempo de Luchar #1. Febrero 2020” →

Chile: Poster in defence of revolutionary expropriations

Posted on 2022/01/11 - 2022/01/11 by darknights

“We are not productive, it is true, but neither are we complicit. We are not productive, yes we are thieves if that’s what you want – if your inaction needs such pettiness to console itself – but we refuse to be slaves. From today, face to face, showing our teeth to the enemy. From today you will fear, no more humiliation. From today, we are at war with bourgeois society.”

– Severino Di Giovanni.

“Revolutionary robbery, expropriation, the recovery of means and resources for the continuation of our anarchist-subversive projects are part of the theoretical-practical arsenal that always accompanies the fighting minorities that rebel and fight against power. Only we can support the practices and ideas that walk the path of freedom and aim to take control of our lives into our own hands.”

The Aroma of Fire: The Rage of Despair in a Tripolar World – Gustavo Rodríguez [I am Dynamite Editions]

Posted on 2021/12/17 - 2022/01/19 by darknights

“The sulphorous aroma of the combustion of petrol and is derivatives, causes an unmistakable olfactory sensation that incites a certain transitory state of euphoria and unconsciously sends us a succession of associated images that produce infinte pleasure: a burning precinct, a prison reduced to ashes, a conglomerate of charred atennas, a torched patrol car or a beautiful charred shopping centre. This becoming-fire -which lights up the night- causes a liberating commotion that no other means, no war machine, can bring about. A gesture is innovated that makes anarchy perceptible through the flames of devastation.”

– Gustavo Rodríguez

PDF: The Aroma of Fire: The Rage of Despair in a Tripolar World

I am Dynamite Editions present their first publication of the long awaited translation into English of our anarchist comrade, Gustavo Rodríguez’s ‘The Aroma of Fire: The Rage of Despair in a Tripolar World (Rethinking the struggle from the informal anarchic perspective)’.

With our first publication we begin our publishing project to promote the informal insurrectional anarchist praxis and Black Anarchy.

More than ever there is a need for analysis and critique of the past, present and future systems of domination, along with the struggles against them. This is our contribution to a newly evolving insurrectional conflict, a destructive end to the existent.

Future publications to come…

PS. Our delayed gratitude and ongoing anarchist complicity to all those comrades who helped us in the long hard journey to create this publication. Better late than never!

When they come knocking…

«When they kick at your front door  
How you gonna come?  
With your hands on your head  
Or on the trigger of your gun…»

At the beginning of December one of the most beloved tele-virologists said that freedom of choice is a problem that those in power should solve. That those who insist on not obeying voluntarily should be forced to do so by force. That the freedom not to vaccinate, for example, can exist only for a hermit who lives alone in the middle of the desert. As for the others, citizens of society, “obviously there is no alternative for these people to the obligation, but to the obligation, the serious one, that is, the obligation that sends the carabinieri to your home to get you.” The peremptory statement made the service reporter who was hosting him chuckle (and certainly not because of his stunted Italian).

A week later, the army general entrusted by the government with the task of leading the war against the dreaded virus declared that he and his troops are ready: together with Santa Claus, he will “bring vaccinations house by house”. In addition to the elderly lost in the most remote villages, the military are “ready to vaccinate the whole audience” – the audience of children…

Faced with these close statements, and the world they announce, we wonder if feeling a chill run down my spine is a sign of weakness from conspiracists, the symptom of a delirium from flat earthers, or if, on the contrary, is the seraphic calm in front of the umpteenth aberration to express a kind of mock democraticism.

A question whose answer will not come from any app.

Consulting the dictionary: concepts and definitions of “sectarianism” Part ii by Gustavo Rodríguez

Posted on 2021/12/17 by darknights

First part can be read here: In Defense of Associative Specificity by Gustavo Rodríguez EN/ES

From anarquia.info, translated by Act for Freedom Now!

According to the Diccionario de uso del español¹ María Moliner,² it is defined as:

Sect: Doctrine taught by a teacher and followed by his adepts. Particularly, the doctrine and the group of its adepts. desp. Doctrine considered erroneous, or that departs from the traditional or official, and, especially, that which is considered pernicious for its followers: “Destructive sect”. A group of the followers of a sect.
Sectarian: -a (adv. sectarian) 1 adj. and n. (of) Follower of a certain sect. 2 Applied to one who fanatically follows a doctrine, and its attitude, opinions, etc. → *Intransigent, * partisan.
Sectarianism: m. Quality or attitude of sectarian.

If we consult the Indo-European Etymological Dictionary of the Spanish Language, it reveals that the noun “sect” (sectam) is the feminine of an obsolete participle of the Latin sequor (“to follow”) that comes from the Indo-European root *sekʷ-.³ The Oxford Latin Dictionary also agrees with this meaning.⁴ And, in the same vein, the Encyclopedic Theological Dictionary is also in agreement with this meaning; therefore, it is inferred that “the sect has as its first point of reference, not a particular doctrine, but […] membership to a group with a identity which is well-defined and distinct from the broader social environment […] The opposition is then manifested at the level of doctrine, morals, ritual and discipline and structuring of the group”⁵.

However, around this elucidation there are strong discrepancies, since the Indo-European root sek actually has three meanings that give rise to three Latin verbs: 1. secare (to blind/cut), 2. sequor (to follow), 3. siccare (to dry). The latter comes from the Latin word siccus (“dry”) which has a very different Indo-European root (*seik). However, secare or sectum (“to cut”), from which the Latin word sectio (sector/section/segment) derives, does seem to be related to the Latin and Spanish voice “secta”, as well as the verbs sequor, sequi, sequire (“to follow”, “to continue”, “sequence”). In this sense, the Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue Latine. Histoire des mots by Alfred Ernout and Antoine Meillet, offers us a certain “solution” by combining the verbs sequor (to follow) and siccus (“dry”), concluding that secta could rather derive from the verbal frequentative sector.⁶ In this regard, it is curious – without falling into wordplay – that the feminine noun “sedition”, which comes from the Latin seditio, seditionis (“estrangement”, “disunion”, “going far away”, “departure from an established power or a common march”), from which also comes “revolt”), although derived from a completely different Indo-European root (*ei, meaning “to go”), is closely related conceptually to the notion of “sect” understood as the “doctrine that departs from orthodoxy” or “sections itself from the established”.

In the religious context, these nominatives (“sect”, “sectarian” and “sectarianism”) are widely documented in the Jewish religion. Specifically, upon their return from exile (in the 6th century B.C.E.), the idea of a single God became popular among the Israelites and, hand in hand with this monotheistic conception, any group that departed from the religious hegemony began to be adjectivized as a “sect” or “faction”, considering it a “disloyal practice”. In this sense, the Bible mentions the Sadducees, Pharisees, Nazarenes and Christians as factions of Judaism. When they departed from the orthodox ideas and practices of Judaism, they were called “sectarians”.

Greece: Blessed is the Flame – Stickers for the diffusion of Black Anarchy EN/GR

Posted on 2021/12/14 - 2021/12/14 by darknights

We decided to design some stickers for the diffusion of black anarchy*.The rest will be published soon.They will be found in self-managed areas of Thessaloniki as well as you can print them and / or use them in articles.

“Creativity is essential in anarchist practice. This is a cliché that should be self-evident.” (Wolfi Landstreicher)

We decided to translate our stickers to English so that our comrades from every place of the planet where the black flame of anarchy burns!

Fellow greetings and solidarity to those who fight in this dystopia with Rage and Consciousness! Attack first and always for anarchy till the end!

*In Greece , we use the phrase Black Anarchy (Μαύρη Αναρχία) for Post Left Anarchy(insurrectionist,nihilist,individualist,Anti/postciv)

Individualidad y grupo anarquista. Gerasimos Tsakalos (Internacional Negra Ediciones)

“Hoy, tenemos que cuidar los riesgos de repetición. Es inaceptable retroceder a la ignominia. Por eso la urgida necesidad de puntualizar un sustrato mínimo e imprescindible, que potencie nuestra gramática y fomente el ensanchamiento de la Anarquía negra en estos días; un objetivo, un deseo o, tal vez, un anhelo esencial que, en algún momento impreciso pero, preferiblemente próximo, nos gustaría compartir con todas aquellas individualidades anárquicas que muestran una inocultable proximidad teórico-práctica que les convierte en compañerxs de ruta de una conspiración internacional que base su causa en Nada.”

Gustavo Rodríguez.

La publicación en español y portugués de “Individualidad y grupo anarquista” del compañero Gerasimos Tsakalos (quien fuera parte de la Conspiración de Células de Fuego de Grecia), nos ha ofrecido la oportunidad de realizar una profunda revisión de su contribución, afianzando desde la praxis la cristalización del debate que da sustento a la Internacional Negra en estos días.

Han pasado seis años desde que Tsakalos lanzó su propuesta organizativa desde la cárcel, atravesando barrotes y muros, y burlando la vigilancia de sus verdugos en la prisión de Korydallos; y dos de que fue excarcelado junto a su hermano Christos. Durante este período hemos acumulado experiencias que podrían ser suficientes como para indicarnos qué cosas son susceptibles de ser modificadas o clarificadas hoy. Sin embargo, más allá del tiempo transcurrido, para cualquier anarquista informal e insurreccional que lea estas páginas, saltará a la vista un sinfín de contradicciones que difícilmente podemos suscribir desde la anarquía negra y el anarco-nihilismo que anima la tensión anárquica contemporánea, particularmente si buscamos darle respuesta a la pregunta que sirve de eje vertebral a su contribución: ¿La individualidad anarquista se encuentra subyugada o se mantiene libre al interior del grupo?

En honor a la verdad, debemos de admitir que, tras la traducción y relectura de este texto, y después de un intenso debate interno entre quienes impulsamos la difusión en español y portugués de la Internacional Negra Ediciones, hemos encontrado infinidad de planteamientos con los que discrepamos íntegramente. A pesar de lo anterior, coincidimos en que lo que realmente nos invita a publicar este folleto es la voluntad de mantener viva la práctica solidaria de darle voz a NUESTRXS PRESXS, rompiendo de forma enérgica todo aislamiento, porque, entre otras cosas, son ellxs quienes, al estar secuestradxs por el Estado a consecuencias de sus acciones, abren las puertas al debate en curso, incitando la reflexión y alimentando la praxis.

Chile: ‘The risks of multiformity’ – Words of anarchist prisoner Francisco Solar EN/ES

Posted on 2021/11/29 - 2021/11/29 by darknights

The search for freedom implies the attempt to establish and develop practices in that sense. Breaking with imposed directions, dogmas and predetermined schemes is essential in the construction of anti-authoritarian relations and in the strengthening of these.

Multiformity in terms of action (and not only) is circumscribed in this way of understanding and carrying out the struggle. It is an expression of freedom that denies singular rigid behaviors and ways of doing things, as well as encouraging imagination and autonomy.

It is also a rejection of specialization and specialists who, as we have seen, sooner rather than later become leaders who become enlightened vanguards. It was and is recurrent to see how the armed apparatuses that perpetrated significant actions became the leadership of an organization or the part of a movement that arrogated, through the use of arms, its representation, demonstrating a militarism that we are alien and contrary to.

On the other hand, the multiformity has managed to extend the propaganda in a considerable way. By means of banners, graffiti, incendiary barricades, explosives and gunfire, anarchic ideas have spread, finding spaces where they are welcomed and put into practice. This is where the importance of what has been called “reproducible actions” comes into play, generally associated with “small actions” that do not require greater risk or that would not entail the questioned prior specialization. “Reproducible actions” would have the advantage of being carried out by anyone, which would increase their possibility of extension, thus generating greater impact and/or effectiveness in achieving a given objective.
