Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

The second edition of the book ” What International?” by Alfredo Cospito and many others is now available

The second edition of What International? is finally available, which we are publishing-during the hunger strike undertaken by Alfredo Cospito starting Oct. 20-as a gesture of solidarity with his comrade and of insubordination against the state, which with the repressive Sibilla operation of Nov. 11, 2021, attempted to get the book out of circulation and which, starting in May 2022, with Alfredo’s transfer to 41 bis, is deluding itself into thinking it will permanently shut his mouth. We will not allow them to do that!

Inside the book:

– Preface by Alfredo Cospito
– Introduction to the second edition by Michele Fabiani and Francesco Rota
– Introduction to the first edition by Anarchist editors of “Vetriolo”
– What International? Interview and dialogue with Alfredo Cospito from Ferrara prison

– Who we are. Open letter to the anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement.
– Four years–December 2006. Document-meeting of the Informal Anarchist Federation four years after its inception.
– Chronology of actions, 1999-2022
– Editorial note

Santiago, Chile: Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI (Santiago, Chile, November 28, 2022)

(Santiago, Chile) ATTACK WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST OXIQUIM S.A.

With anarchist attitude, the central offices of Oxiquim S.A. in the municipality of Providencia, Santiago, Chile, were attacked.

The high-powered device did not explode because of a solvable technical problem, so we are aiming for more.

Oxiquim, a giant of the Chilean chemical industry and a direct supplier to the country’s major extractive industries in the forestry, mining, agroindustrial and fishing sub-areas.

Oxiquim, a company headed by Fernando Barros Tocornal, a businessman with a high level of influence in Chilean politics, a direct advocate of dictator Pinochet, former president Sebastián Piñera, and a board member of the animal exploitation company Agrosuper.

Oxiquim, directly responsible for the pollution and ecocide of the waters, territory and inhabitants of Quintero-Puchuncaví, defended by the Chilean Navy during protests against the so-called “sacrifice zones.”

This is a new act of revenge against the perpetrators of Earth devastation and destruction. It’s a new violent action by anarchist hands in permanent conspiracy and revolt. It’s a new attack justified by the existence of domination. It is another insurrectionary action in the no-holds-barred struggle for Total Liberation.

Against technological industrial complex that seeks to exploit and dominate all forms of life, WE ARE SELVAGE FORCE. Against illusions of democracy and against all governments and those responsible for Earth devastation, WE PROPOSE CHAOS AND ANARCHY.

We want that the news of this action reaches eyes and ears of imprisoned anarchist comrades, claiming solidarity as the continuity of the attack against power outside and inside prisons.

With particular complicity we stand with the vegan anarcho-nihilists arrested after the anti-speciesist attack against the animal exploitation company Susaron and with anarchist prisoners Joaquín García, Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar. We also salute the high school students imprisoned for the anarchist uprisings in Santiago high schools and all those who from prison resist and struggle against the state and capital.

We send strength to Boris, Ivan and the anarchist prisoners in France. Strength for Erick King and the anarchist prisoners in the USA. Strength for Toby Shone in England. Strength for Gabriel and the anarchist prisoners in Spain. Strength for Giannis Michailidis and for anarchists imprisoned in Greece, Russia, the Czech Republic and around the world.

Strength for all anarchists who take action.

This attack is part of the international campaign of solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike against Italian state-imposed isolation. Alfredo, this is for you.

For anarchist sedition against every expression of civilized domination!
By all means against authority! With caution and courage!
To multiply anarchist attacks against power!

Italy & France: Juan Sorroche breaks hunger strike & Ivan Alocco ends hunger strike in solidarity with anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

Break in hunger strike by anarchist Juan Sorroche (Nov. 24, 2022)

We learn that Comrade Juan Sorroche has broken his hunger strike as of midnight on November 24, after exactly one month.

Anarchist Ivan Alocco has ended the hunger strike (France, December 1, 2022)

Ivan, incarcerated in Villepinte prison (near Paris), lets us know that he has ended his hunger strike. Today, December 1st, he started feeding again, after 35 days of hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito’s struggle.

He is well and sends a strong hug in solidarity to Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Toby and everyone outside the prisons.

On Thursday, November 24th, during the interrogation by the investigating judge, Ivan made a brief statement and then said he had nothing to declare in response to the judge’s questions. His statement, as far as we know, was more or less this:

“I am an anarchist. I support every act that goes against the state and capital and towards social and individual emancipation, including the acts of attack of which I am accused in this proceeding.

I am currently on hunger strike, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, a comrade imprisoned in Italy, in solitary confinement, in the prison regime called 41 bis”. He then complained about the repeated blocking of his mail, which isolates him even more.

Meanwhile, he received some mail.

The investigating judge used his statement, among other things, to justify her unfavourable opinion of the request for release, saying that the comrade “does not question his acts and ideology”.

Rome, Italy: Interruption of a performance at Argentina Theater in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against 41 bis

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

Today, Nov. 26, 2022, the performance of “Hamlet” at the Argentina Theater in Rome was interrupted. Despite the fact that the theater workers turned into a full-fledged security service to protect the interests of the bosses, we determinedly managed to go on stage, unfurl a banner that read “There is something rotten in Italy: no to 41 bis,” throw leaflets, and read part of the communiqué, which, below, we quote in full:

We are here because Alfredo Cospito is in 41 bis. 41 bis is a detention regime specifically designed to annihilate the individual. We are here because Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month. We are not here to cry over an injustice suffered by our anarchist comrade, because it is not. Just as it is not a legal aberration. It is the logical reaction of the democratic-state to the attacks launched by Alfredo. First physical, with the wounding of the bureaucrat Adinolfi, at the time CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare and for which he finished serving the sentence to which he was sentenced. Then with the words with which, while in high-security detention, he contributed to debates in the anarchist movement. The 41 bis to Alfredo is not only revenge, it is also a willingness to take away the word. Because speech, when it does not remain a mere rhetorical exercise: it is a weapon.

Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month to get his downgrade and against hostile life imprisonment.

He has been joined by anarchists and prisoners Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino. They use the hunger strike because in the condition of isolation in which they find themselves it is, perhaps, the only form of struggle available to them. With strength and courage they put their safety, their lives on the line … while you are sitting here watching a sham and do not realize that everything is. Daily something is taken from you, for the moment, on you it has no consequences and then you turn away. Blinded by your privileges you think democracy is the best possible system and you look indignantly at exotic nations where people are trampled. You want truth and justice for Giulio Regeni and you don’t give a shit about the 14 deaths made in prison on March 8, 2020 by Italian democracy. You don’t give a shit about the 80 prison suicides that have occurred since January. You don’t give a shit about the migrant concentration camps scattered around the beautiful country.

We have not come to raise your awareness. If you still sleep soundly-we spoil your fun.

We break the social peace in which you bask.

Death to the state!
Long live Anarchy!

Varedo, Italy: Attack on Lega headquarters in solidarity with Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

Striking a party like the Lega Nord means attacking institutional nationalism, racism and xenophobia. It means fighting the politics of “law and order.” Last night, Nov. 23, the windows of the Lega Nord headquarters in Varedo, a municipality in the Milan hinterland, were smashed.

This action is a concrete gesture of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (and the other imprisoned anarchists who support him) who are fighting to the bitter end against the double torture of 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. The latter measure, moreover, was recently reconfirmed by a decree passed by the current government, of which the Lega is a member.

No amount of repression will stop anarchist conflict.

Tuscany, Italy: Sabotage of a cable bundle in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

Sabotage of a bundle of cables in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 28, I SET FIRE TO A BUNDLE OF CABLES ALONG THE FLORENCE – PISA NORD HIGHWAY. I CHOSE TO SABOTAGE THE LINE AFTER READING ON THE CABLES THE NAME OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES POWER LINE AND FIBER OPTIC CABLES. TO DO THIS I TIED TWO PIECES OF WOOD WITH WIRE ABOVE AND BELOW THE 6 CABLES. I INSERTED DIAVOLINA INTO THE CRACKS AND SPRINKLED THE WHOLE THING WITH GASOLINE. I DO NOT KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE ACTION BECAUSE THE MEDIA DID NOT REPORT ON IT. THE ACTION IS ALSO MEANT IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, WHO IS ON HUNGER STRIKE. NO PUNISHMENT CAN DETER THOSE WHO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, THOSE WHO KNOW NO CALCULATIONS AND COMPROMISES.

Athens, Greece: ‘Life is not so good.’ Claim for the incendiary attack on an LG van in Kaisariani

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

In the early morning hours of November 19 to 20, a van of the multinational company LG (life is good) in Kaisariani, was torched. Life is good only for the bosses and the rulers of this world. For us it becomes good only in moments like this, when we are attacking. We dedicate this attack to the Turkish fighters who are on hunger strike demanding a fair trial and to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike against the 41bis regime.

Solidarity to the 4 comrades who are being persecuted for the case of “comrades”.

We send fiery signals of solidarity to the 4 imprisoned comrades accused of the attack on the Piraeus traffic police and to the imprisoned comrades D. Hatzivassiliadis and V. Stathopoulos, who are currently undergoing an appeal.

Practical and aggressive solidarity with all political prisoners.

Microphonic solidarity to anarcho-nihilist Alfredo Cospito. Hunger Strike from 20/10/22

STOP NOW THE ISOLATION (41 bis)

“In final analysis, the best solidarity that i could receive is to see the planning of this new anarchy, in all of its forms, continue to move forward, insensible to the strokes of repression. I will not deny it, in every action that someone salutes us as anarchist prisoners, both in Italy and the rest of the world, my heart fills with joy.”

In solidarity they have started a hunger strike and the comrades:
Juan Sorroche Fernandez (from 25/10/22),
Ivan Aloccο (from 27/10/22),
Anna Beniamino (from 27/10/22),
