Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

Posted on 2026/04/09 by darknights

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.With determination, with our own rage and memory, we took to the streets at dawn on March 10, the date that the anarchist revolutionary guerrilla Lambros Fountas fell fighting under fire from cops in Daphne 16 years ago and we attacked a cop’s house in Kaisariani with an incendiary device.

We have every reason to target the state’s scumbags who act as security guards for the bosses and the ruling elite. With this move, we want to remind them and all cops that we will not leave their activity unpunished. They are the ones who target fighters, violently attack demonstrators, torture and murder people in cop stations, at borders, as well as people from the impoverished margins and our own class. Let them remember and know that we can also locate them in their homes, in their neighbourhoods, in their jobs and that they are not really safe anywhere in making this choice to serve the system.

It is a fact that the state invests in order and security by strengthening policing at every level of central government. In this way, it prevents any resistance from below on behalf of capital as much as possible, while at the same time strengthening military-police capital through funds for security forces and armament programs. This is a phenomenon that is parallel in relation to the international geopolitical situation. As the war intensifies abroad (Middle East, Ukraine) and the Greek state participates in it through the Greek-Israeli-American alliance, NATO and the EU, so does the repression at home. Cops of all kinds are positioned to control our lives. The same applies to every field of public space from universities to neighbourhoods, squares and other natural sites (see Exarchia Square, Strefi Hill).

So, let fear change sides then. No matter how much the complicit and regime-based mass deception media cover you up by hiding our actions, we know the anxiety that these visits to your homes cause you. If you don’t pack up, we will come again. Our lives are not expendable. We want to show that you are the terrorists and dangerous to the public interest, not us who return the minimum percentage of your share of violence.

We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting for their lives. Let us intensify the anti-war action against the war crimes occurring in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran by the Western bloc. We will not become meat for the murderers’ cannons because the local leaders, with Mitsotakis and Dendias as the first and best, rushed to ally with Netanyahu and Trump.

The choice to connect these contents through action on the day of remembrance of the anarchist guerrilla Lambros Fountas constitutes a connecting link between memory, action and continuity.

Italy: Stronger Than Death EN/IT/ES/FR/DE

Posted on 2026/03/22 - 2026/03/28 by darknights

EN/IT/ES/FR/DE

There is an enormous difference between the violence of the oppressed and that of the oppressors: the former follows an ethic, the latter doesn’t.
(Sara Ardizzone)

Our ability to speak and communicate does not allow us to venture down the unbeaten paths of personal accountability for the risks we take. Any discussion along these lines remains inevitably tentative and inadequate. To truly seek freedom — in its authentic and complete form, not in the counterfeit versions bestowed and imposed by the state — means entering into the realm of risk inherent in the quest itself. In this realm, our choices — often wild and solitary — carve out a path of no return. Freedom is a quality that is experienced by putting oneself at risk.

We say this without resorting to any rhetorical indulgence: the two anarchists found dead after the collapse of a farmhouse in Rome, Sara Ardizzone and Alessandro Mercogliano, are our close comrades, we are proud to have them as our comrades. The paid hacks, from whose trashy paper we learned of the incident, write about the detonation of an explosive artefact. The attempts to distance oneself, always aimed at ensuring a shameful sense of security, do not belong to us. We are used to never believe what is uttered by the propaganda machine, but if there is a glimmer of truth about the “leaked” information we cannot fail to dwell on the fundamental fact: Sara and Sandro died in action, died in the battle. Social war is not a stunt, a life style or a subculture. It is, first and foremost, a war. Sara and Sandro are a shining example of the inseparable bond between thought and deed which inspires the anarchism, revolutionaries until the very last moment of their lives, and in death.

Rome, Italy: Two anarchist comrades slain during apparent explosive accident

Posted on 2026/03/20 - 2026/03/20 by darknights

“I am an anarchist. As an anarchist, I am an enemy of this State as of any other State”,
Sara Ardizzone, Statement in the Operation Sibilla trial to the judge.

20.3.26: Two anarchist comrades, Alessandro Mercogliano and Sara Ardizzone, died yesterday in Rome apparently due to handling and managing explosives in a cottage in the Acquedotti park area. So far there is only mainstream news with the terror lust of the security services where they speculate like ghouls on the lives on the comrades. Postulating theories which mention the usual phrases like “known to the authorities” and casually blame the circle of “Cospito’s group”. It can surely be predicted that there will be a further scavenge by the media and police in tandem at the behest of the Meloni regime, for the “friends and accomplices” of our slain comrades. Alessandro Marcogliano had previous been convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in 2016, accused of participation in the armed group FAI-FRI.

Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the fallen comrades, never a moment of peace for the enemy. Our lives burn with the passion of a thousand suns.

Death to the State

Long live Anarchy
