Chile: 13 years after the fall in combat of comrade Mauricio Morales + ‘Sharpening ideas against prison. Reflections by Mauricio Morales’ (in Spanish)

Posted on 2022/05/21 - 2022/05/21 by darknights

On May 22, 2009 the anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales dies after the accidental detonation of the explosive device he was carrying to the Gendarmerie School. A comrade fled and the police unleashed a repressive hunt against his circle, seeking to put an end to the almost one hundred explosive attacks perpetrated by anti-authoritarian groups.
The recollection and memory of Mauri joins with that of the rest of the anarchists killed in struggle and confrontation with the State, in this way every year May is transformed into new impulses to sharpen the confrontation with power and strengthen the community of negation.

Another May, another 22nd, again the recollections, again the memory in offensive… it is already impossible to imprison his memory in those who knew him or were close to him, his memory has the forms and slogans of those who bring him to the present in each conspiracy, without leaders or representatives, there are no official voices. The insurrectionary memory can simply be everywhere. Continue reading “Chile: 13 years after the fall in combat of comrade Mauricio Morales + ‘Sharpening ideas against prison.

CHILE: TOWARDS TOTAL LIBERATION MEMORY AND COUNTERCULTURE

Posted on 2022/05/09 by darknights

In combative memory of comrade Mauricio Morales 13 years after his death on the way to attack the gendarmerie school, we gather again around his memorial to take off towards different horizons, always in search of total liberation, fighting all forms of authority.

The anarchic memory connects us between different generations of comrades, feeding our present and motivating new steps, new decisions.

Our dead walk with us and laugh, mocking oblivion and passivity.
Because nothing is over and everything continues…

Our memory is black, our heart too.
Punki Mauri presente!

Athens, Greece: 4-11 June Week of Reconstruction of the Alexandros Grigoropoulos Monument

Posted on 2022/05/05 by darknights

Revolutionary memory is not an empty letter. It is not a museum affair. It is not a dry ritual that is exhausted in anniversary recurrences. Revolutionary memory is the thread that binds the past to the present and that lays the foundations for a future that will do justice to those who sacrificed for a different world. A world where no one will see the sky through barbed wire, where no one will have their bodies broken in the sweatshops of class exploitation, where no one will be murdered on land and sea borders, in police stations, in the urban ghettos of metropolises. Revolutionary memory brings together those who are missing from our side, making them complicit in our subversive projects and dreams. Revolutionary memory, if we give it the value it deserves, becomes a subversive project, a springboard for struggle, a source of inspiration and disposition in the beautiful cause of freedom. For the words that will form a conceptual framework different from the one spoken today by politicians, economists, military analysts, industrialists, the golden boys of the stock exchange, journalists. Or they will be words armed ready to become an impulsive energy. Or they will be nothing.

The metropolises are the modern steam engines, they are the universal factories of capitalism. The transparent sweatshops where capital’s domination, control and repression of the explosive contradictions it produces are absolutely institutionalized.

The crimes of the state and capitalism within the metropolises become isolated incidents. They are recorded in fragmentary narratives by the bourgeois ideology that imposes its hegemony. Our own memory, which should highlight them and transform them into social consciousness, into a perception of our role and position, is constantly absent. When it is not, it is blurred, colourless, non-existent, empty of content. Fascist censorship here has for the moment been replaced by a new form of active censorship. The production of incessant distorted knowledge, the methodical reversal of facts, their insidious substitution. It is revisionism that attacks consciences, memories, the very history of the struggles.

Montevideo, Uruguay: Llamado/Incitación para un 1ero de Mayo en las calles ES/EN

Posted on 2022/04/12 - 2022/04/12 by darknights

A medida que nos acercamos a esta fecha tan histórica y trascendental, a lo que la lucha revolucionaria representa, desde lxs anarquistas en Uruguay nace, surge y se cuestiona el posicionamiento del movimiento, tanto colectivo como individualmente. Sobre todo teniendo en cuenta y recordando la historia de lucha que lxs anarquistas han aportado al movimiento obrero y la lucha en general. Hoy en día la situación es diferente, no son los mismos tiempos, la sociedad, el estado y el capital sufrieron transformaciones; sin embargo hay cuestiones que no cambian…y hablamos, nada ni nada menos, que de vivir en base a la explotación, ya sea de la tierra o de los cuerpos la idea es la misma, exprimirnos hasta la ultima gota.

La vida en Uruguay no es ajena a esa explotación, el negocio inmobiliario, el turismo y el ¨campo¨ se llevan el podio (y toda la moneda) a la par que contribuyen a la precarización de la vida. Si a todo este cóctel le sumamos la tibieza de algunos sindicatos pertenecientes a la central obrera y los clásicos ¨teje y maneje¨ de la política empresarial de turno…el resultado es evidente: paz social – espejitos de colores y mucho humo. Podríamos estar rato largo evidenciando y contándoles lo ¨bonito¨ que se ve Uruguay desde afuera y la realidad de lo que nos toca vivir por estos lares, pero no es la idea de este llamado.

Escribimos esto para alentar e incitar a la acción en la calle!!! Para que no sea un 1ero de Mayo mas, sino uno bien pesado y encendido, ruidoso y revoltoso, que se note en las calles el descontento y la memoria de lxs compañerxs caídxs. Nuestra lucha no la marca el calendario pero las fechas nos recuerdan la importancia de la lucha, nos hace reflexionar sobre el pasado y el presente. Luchamos a diario por otro mundo…un mundo libre donde la injusticia, el hambre y la explotación no exista.

Lo que estas leyendo es una incitación a seguir conspirando, a juntarte con tus compas de laburo, con tus ñeris del barrio o del liceo y salir a la calle, las formas de agitar y la imaginación no tienen limites, la desobediencia es encantadora.

VIVA LA MEMORIA COMBATIVA DE ¨LOS MÁRTIRES DE CHICAGO¨

VIVA LA LUCHA REVOLUCIONARIA EN LAS CALLES!!

Anarquistas de barrio. Continue reading “Montevideo, Uruguay: Llamado/Incitación para un 1ero de Mayo en las calles ES/EN” →

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Facing the fallacies against anarchists

Posted on 2022/03/31 by darknights

This system needs to hide the disastrous consequences of its progress through control, persecution and institutionalized violence, silencing the voices of those who dare to confront it.

The prisons are overflowing with displaced and rebels but neither the murdered nor the disappeared are of interest to them while the power game continues to dominate.

We are neither innocent nor guilty.

Our freedom is built in every gesture of solidarity and confrontation against what oppresses us.

We will not be bastard children of the memory of the peoples.

We assume our responsibility as part of the continuity of struggle for total liberation.

No more, no less. We are anarchists.

They have bullets, laws, property and commodities.

We have stones, fire, will and insurrectionary dignity.

8 years after his assassination: Sebastián Oversluij “Pelao Angry” Presente!

Posted on 2021/12/08 - 2021/12/09 by darknights

We share this poster in memory of Sebastián Oversluij Seguel, killed in 2013 by a bank guard in the state-controlled region of Chile, when he was preparing to carry out a bank expropriation.

———————————————————-
8 years after his assassination: Action, Memory and Revenge for
Sebastián Oversluij “Pelao Angry”.

On December 11, 2013, during a bank expropriation, Sebastián Oversluij “Pelao Angry”, a fellow Anarcho-Nihilist Antispecist, who upon entering the bank branch armed with a submachine gun was shot down by William Vera, the filthy Mercenary/Guard of the Banco Estado de Chile, in the commune of Pudahuel, Santiago.

“Throw yourself, dream that the praxis becomes stronger
animals alone there is no one to stop us
not even a thousand walls can stop the idea that the head contains
open the way
imagine every fence on the ground
no matter the failure of society
perhaps novel friends there’s nothing more beautiful
than to feel free of its laws imploring the delight of death
of civilization at sunset
I reach a thousand destructive dreams in the dark
fire feeds my senses
whimpering of the insurrectionary herd
to be fertile ground to live and die in search of total liberation.

The idea is in the mind with actions it is created
of versatile villages
affinities in the fight
for not being prisoners nor victims of imposed tasks
for the freedoms you desire
and if thousands of limits surround us
every material within your reach employs.”

(Fragment song “La Idea”, Palabras en conflicto, 2012)

Italy: A text by Anna Beniamino about Marilù Maschietto

Posted on 2021/11/29 by darknights

Written by Anna from prison on the occasion of a day dedicated to Marilù

There are people who are a safe harbor to land in. Marilu had all the characteristics, although thorny and ironic in the discussion and in certain cynical anecdotes of the miseries of the movement, she knew how to be welcoming, always and in any case, without fear or difficulty. In her telling and recounting, far from the rhetoric of some of her writings that linger in a certain hagiographic complacency in painting portraits of comrades and episodes of the 80s, she gave her best in the daily concreteness, with the simplicity of those who have known and lived the most varied experiences. Thus surfaced the revolutionary wave and the times of backwash and the companions of a life of militancy (term now a bit ‘retro, but full of meaning on her lips): from the old anarchist partisans from Carrara described in an anti-rhetorical form, in the act of digging up their infracycles treasures to help the young people of AR, to the ” comrades ” of the Roman squats of the 90s to support in the occupations; from Horst Fantazzini in the few periods of freedom between one jail and another, greedy for life and adventure, to Gianfranco Faina, an intellectual in struggle and on the run; Fernando Del Grosso, a partisan from Abruzzo, who told of not giving himself peace until he reached all those responsible for the death of his brothers slaughtered by the Nazi-Fascists. All this mixed with memories of a trip to Nicaragua to support the struggle and the stories of the Bangladeshi stallholder to help with his problems of being an illegal immigrant in the metropolis, the posters of Casa Pound under the arcades of Piazza Vittorio to tear down (“and if no one helps me I’ll go”, and she really did! ) and the frequentation of the chorus of women singers of the popular tradition and struggle, the flamenco shoes shown with pride and the heart medicine “forgotten” in the drawer, her presence at any parade, making fun of the dismayed look on the guards’ faces when they saw this lady in a camel-colored coat and half-heeled shoes surrounded by young punks, the same smile with which she whispered, twenty years ago in the streets of Genoa, “we’re going together” taking under her arm the comrades she saw weighed down by “overly” loaded backpacks.
The same density of stratified experience immediately caught the attention of those who crossed the threshold of the old house in Piazza Vittorio for the first time, also of lived and crumpled nobility, between the Bangla market and the Chinese stores, open day and night for the comrades. On the walls were oil portraits of a frowning nineteenth-century ancestor (Marilu came from a noble and “fascist” family of Ferrara, of which she was the refractory daughter) and posters of the fight against special prisons; the photos of dead comrades and the lace tablecloths worn to welcome the living ones, the peach stones carved in the shape of a ring “Horst’s gift when he was in jail” and the ” diary” with the phone numbers written in pen on the wall (“so when they come for the next search, even if they take away the diary I’ll have them”), behind the heavy frame that enclosed the aforementioned noble frown.

It was clear that there were no stereotypes of movement applicable, but solidarity and indestructible bonds were always valid, despite galleys and ideal shipwrecks; pride was valid, in narrating her and her comrades’ experiences of struggle, the pride of narrating something well done, a job completed to the end.
In this sense, above all, she was enlightening and luminous in revealing, almost in a fairy-tale way, the hardness of the blows she received and the beauty of resistance, freeing those who came into contact with her from the heavy weight we carry on us, in order to travel light.
It would have made a mockery of the infamous presence of the police, up to the occasion of the last farewell to her, the last anecdote of an anarchist watched by living and dead, as if a funeral could be a seditious demonstration. Or perhaps, in these dark times, the dead are considered more alive than the living?

$hile: Facing a new September 11. Words from comrades Luis and Ignacio from the Rancagua Prison

Posted on 2021/09/20 - 2021/09/20 by darknights

Luis and Ignacio Avaca Mansilla, are comrades arrested in May 2021 accused of sending a parcel bomb to the police station in Talca, an action claimed by “faceless entities, nothing and nobody that you know”.

Facing a new commemoration of September 11:

Let the best commemoration be actions!!!

(I): Memory and action.

This date is loaded with a historical meaning that many share, and, even if it is mainly the democratic left that seems to feel more appealed by this event, the anti-authoritarians and anti-capitalists who dissociate ourselves from that position have been able to commemorate it as well.

We ourselves remember it by ” mobilizing ourselves ” on the occasion. And it is undeniable that, for the current development of the confrontation, we have to take into account, critically, the previous experiences of struggle.

September 11 evokes this. Apart from what exactly happened on that day, it reminds us of the difficult times that were inaugurated, of the diverse expressions and experiences of resistance to the dictatorship, of those who came before us: guerrillas, prisoners, the fallen, the tortured ….. And of the irreducible struggle that continued during the democracy, of which we are participants together with all the prisoners at war.

Against the complicit oblivion and indifference with this social order, we exercise our memory, an offensive memory that does not drown in labels, but gathers all the historical tradition of conflict exercised in this territory, in dictatorship or in democracy.

We do not forget, much less forgive, and that is what is manifested in each attack against authority, its accomplices and its executioners. Continue reading “$hile: Facing a new September 11. Words from comrades Luis and Ignacio from the Rancagua Prison” →

4 Years After the Death of Anarchist Comrade Santiago Maldonado

Posted on 2021/07/07 by darknights

Four years after the murder of Santiago Maldonado, we continue to vindicate our comrade

Because anarchic memory is action, we make a call to remember Lechu, emphasizing the ideals and perspectives of our comrade.

We do not forget that Santiago was killed by the repressive agents of the State in a barricade in Puelmapu, nor do we forget the usurpation that reformist sectors and supporters of this society made of his death, using his face and his body for their political games. Because of this:

  • This year we propose NOT to use the physical image of Santiago in propaganda, but rather his songs, ideas and practices, thus combating the emptying and the washed-out image that has been taken by those in power.
  • Because we know that Lechu fought for the land and against capital, we propose to accentuate a multiform memory, which inevitably leads us to remember other comrades who fell in these same struggles. Thus, six months after the murder of Baucis by assassins in the process of recovering Mapuche land, we call for Bau to be present in the actions that we carry out.
  • We propose a memory of action that assumes that enemies are everywhere, which increases our capacity to attack. We can be creative attacking, let’s not forget.

For a black memory

To multiply the propaganda and actions

No comrade is forgotten.

To our compas in the dungeons of power in $hile, know that you are with us in every action.

July 2021,

MalosAires, Territory (still) dominated by the Argentine State.
