Sweep out snitches and their accomplices!

In 2022, the section of the International Workers Association in the region of Russia called for a boycott of the provocateurs, Anatoly Dubovik and Alexander Kolchenko. The statement said:

“The latter means that these fake anarchists, by publishing the addresses of anti-war activists located in Russia, are directly inciting Russian secret services and nationalist thugs against them, as opponents of the war, in order to deal with them with their hands! In the conditions of ongoing harassment, dismissals, threats and physical repression against anti-military-minded people in Russia, such actions are tantamount to real denunciation with a direct indication of whom the repressive forces should turn their attention to.”

It is now necessary to reiterate this issue. The snitches Kolchenko and Dubovik continue to be given space while their intrigues are concealed or downplayed. Both continue to organize support for the Ukrainian State in the name of anarchism, and others provide media space for their war propaganda. Specifically, these include Ondrej Slačálek (1) in the academic journal Kontradikce, the Anarchist Federation website, the Belarusian website pramen.io (2) and the Russian-language website avtonom.org. Kolchenko and Dubovik are denouncing our anarchist comrades in the region of Russia, therefore they deserve contempt. Slačálek, the editors of afed.cz and others who uncritically support the denunciators must all accept the consequences.

For those who are not yet familiar with the context, here are some important facts. Kolchenko and Dubovik made use of doxing, i.e. the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about anarchists who, in times of war, oppose a State that applies an aggressive war policy. Anarchists obviously oppose all States that engage in war. It must be taken into account that at the same time as the Russian State is invading Ukraine, it is also cracking down very harshly on any anti-militarist criticism and activity. Those who were relatively “safe” to declare their anti-militarist position in Russia before the outbreak of the war are now, for security reasons, expressing their position covertly. The risk for open anti-militarism is now too great, and people are ending up in jail for even just standing with an anti-war picket in a public place.

In wartime, Kolchenko and Dubovik broke the anonymity of the anarchists and deliberately used doxing as a means to expose them to harassment or legal sanctions by the State. After the information about the doxers’ activities was disseminated, they attempted to deny everything. The article “Lies are being spread about Ukrainian anarchist Anatoli Dubovik” was precisely intended to do that. However, shortly after its publication, evidence was presented. It turned out that there was an attempt on the part of the denunciators to cover their tracks by falsifying the content of the history of posts on the Facebook profile. The editors of Autonomous Action first retracted the article, and it was clear from a brief comment that the reason for the retraction was that the original text had proven the guilt of Dubovik and Kolchenko. Later, however, even this justification was replaced on the website by another. However, this is so vague that a person without knowledge of the context can hardly understand what actually happened. The original article is replaced by the following text:

“This blog has been retracted as it included erroneous results of an investigation due to technical issues with the Facebook. Eventually all the contents had to be removed because they could gain access to some personal information. Apologies to everyone involved.”

By the way, the context is well illustrated by the post in the discussion below this statement:

“You are lying. We can all see that the comment has indeed been edited as well check its edit history, where we easily see that Dubovik has indeed been doxing people.”

One thing is sure. Certain structures are consciously engaging in war, defending the Ukrainian State and reproducing NATO’s war propaganda. According to the logic of “those who are not with us are against us”, they are ready to jointly destroy their opponents in the anarchist milieu. These people are open to side with anyone who says the same things about the war as they do, even if it means siding with denunciators.

History is replete with examples of how revolutionaries deal with denunciators and their accomplices. Snitches must expect that there may be a strong response.

Notes:

(1) We mention Slačalek specifically because he was the one who pushed for the publication of the texts by Dubovik and Kolchenko in Kontradikce, despite the criticism of his colleagues. Although he claims that he did not know about the activities of the informers before, he continues to defend the provision of space for their voices. Among other things, he said: “(…) This enquiry is not a political act, but an attempt at a cognitive procedure of a professional journal, although certainly a journal with a certain profile. So, yes, under certain circumstances I can imagine that I would address people with an even more unacceptable profile to the enquiry of such a journal (…)”.

(2) Pramen.io, for example, published the following text, which quotes Dubovik as a relevant source without any critical reflection: Vadim Damier’s Myth of “Classical Anarchist Internationalism” https://pramen.io/ru/2023/08/otvet-na-tezisy-vadima-dame-o-vojne-mezhdu-ukrainoj-i-rf/ (published on 21/08/2023)

Barcelona, Catalonia: Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack on an Indra vehicle – EN/ES

Posted on 2023/07/30 by darknights

(07/25/2023) – From BCN IMC

Last Tuesday 25, at dawn, we attacked with our favorite materials: gasoline and fire, a van of the Indra company near the Vallcarca neighborhood. Indra, an arms manufacturer, constitutes the technical part of the development of the geopolitical and economic interests of states. Numerous contracts with the Ministry of Defense in Spain demonstrate their participation in military weapons projects, aside from being the company who controls 80% of the Sociedad Española de Misiles, the Spanish subsidiary of the main European missile manufacturer. Today, the military industry has adopted a new image that moves away from that of the military giving a coup to present another, the friendliest and smiling professional mercenaries who together with their suppliers respond to a social demand for security. When excuses such as terrorism are not enough to justify the augment of militarization, then the other great concerns of society become the necessary pretext for the military descent in the Metropolis. Thus, events such as the recent creation of the “Bibby Stockholm” prison-barge in the United Kingdom destined to continue repression towards migrants is not a coincidence.

The military complex finally ends up accompanying society in its decline with its gentle image, its technological surveillance systems and its sense of security for the citizenship, seeking to establish the deathly peace of the bosses and the legal owners with the support of the silent majority.

Given all this, we are left with the decision that our battlefield is that of denial and disobedience.
Through this action we would like to spread the fire in these conditions of continuous war against each symbol and face of the authoritarian society in which we have decided to fight.
We send our warm greetings to the companions Monica and Francisco, who are now facing a trial that will last months. The complicit words of fellow Francisco fill us with strength to continue exploring the paths of the anarchic conflict here and now.
Greetings also for Alfredo Cospito who is recovering after 6 months on hunger strike.

For insurrection, attack and revenge!

Para lxs que provocan incendios y otrxs individuxs afines: Reivindicación del ataque incendiario a una furgoneta de Indra (25/07/2023)

El pasado martes 25, de madrugada, atacamos con nuestros materiales favoritos: gasolina y fuego, una furgoneta de la empresa Indra cerca del barrio de Vallcarca.
Indra, empresa fabricante armamentista constituye la parte técnica del desarollo de los intereses geopolíticos y económicos de los estados.
Numerosos contratos con el ministerio de defensa de España demuestran su participación en proyectos de armamento militar a parte de ser quien controla el 80% de la Sociedad Española de Misiles, la filial española del principal fabricante de misiles europeo.
Hoy en día, la industria militar ha adoptado una nueva imagen que se aleja de aquella de los militares dando un golpe de estado para tomar otra mas amable de amigables y sonrientes mercenarios profesionales que junto a sus proveedores dan respuesta a una demanda social de seguridad.
Cuando excusas como el terrorismo no son suficientes para justificar el augmento de la militarización, entonces las otras grandes preocupaciones de la sociedad se vuelven el pretexto necesario para el descenso militar en la metropolis. Asi pues, sucesos como la reciente creación del barco-prisión “Bibby Stockholm” en el Reino Unido destinado a continuar y augmentar la represión hacia las personas migrantes no es una casualidad.
El complejo militar pues, finalmente acaba acompañando a la sociedad en su decadencia con su gentil imagen, sus sistemas tecnologicos de vigilancia y su sentido de seguridad por parte de la ciudadania, buscando establecer la mortal paz de los jefes y los legales propietarios con el apoyo de las silenciosas mayorias.
Ante todo esto nosotrxs nos quedamos con aquellxs que deciden que su campo de batalla es el de la negación y la desobediencia.
Mediante esta acción nos gustaria esparcir el fuego en estas condiciones de guerra contínua contra cada símbolo y cara de la sociedad autoritaria en la que nosotrxs hemos decidido luchar.
Enviamos nuestros cálidos saludos a lxs compañerxs Mónica y Francisco, quienes se estan enfrentando ahora a un juicio que durara meses. Las palabras cómplices del compañero Francisco nos llenan de fuerza para continuar explorando los caminos del conflicto anárquico aquí y ahora.
Saludos también para Alfredo Cospito quien se encuentra recuperándose después de 6 meses en huelga de hambre.

Mezzovico, Switzerland: ‘Swiss neutrality does not exist.’ Incendiary attack on ten civil defense vehicles and three army vehicles (June 18, 2023)

Posted on 2023/07/11 by darknights

Swiss neutrality does not exist

Switzerland, which regards itself as neutral so it can maintain its privileged role as the world’s financial hub, actually bears a lot of responsibility for many wars around the world. The Swiss arms industry exports weapons everywhere, even to countries where there are armed conflicts. Lately it has even relocated some manufacturing facilities abroad so as to circumvent laws that would “ban” arms exports to countries at war, for example to Ukraine, aligning itself fully with NATO’s warmongering interventionist rhetoric.

Switzerland’s role as a financial marketplace and leading commodity trader makes this state a major player in the devastation of the planet and the plundering of the resources of countries in the global south, fueling conflicts and forcing people to leave their countries of origin. Not content with sowing misery all over the world, it prides itself with “defending” its borders against the migration “threat,” with its military guarding the borders and civil defense soldiers running deportation centers.

Campaigns against compulsory conscription in Switzerland have been pacified by the introduction of civil protection and civil service. We believe that anarchist antimilitarism should not be limited to the rejection of the military or even to total desertion from every obligation this state imposes on us but should turn into attack.

For this reason, in the night from the 17th to the 18th June, in Mezzovico, Ticino, we have set fire to ten vehicles of the civil protection, which were totally destroyed and three military vehicles, which regrettably only partially burned.

We state with strength of our ideas and actions our solidarity with all anarchists taken hostage by the state and take this opportunity to greet those on the hidden paths of freedom. Those who struggle will never be alone.

Swiss neutrality does not exist. Where there is capitalism, there is war.

Death to the state, long live Anarchy

France: All fire, all flame. Interviews with former members of the Revolutionary Cells (RZ) Germany, 1973-1993 FR/EN

Tout feu, tout flamme. Entretiens avec des anciens des Cellules Révolutionnaires (RZ) Allemagne, 1973-1993

Tout feu, tout flamme
Entretiens sur la résistance armée avec des anciens des Cellules Révolutionnaires (RZ)
Allemagne, 1973-1993

En 1973, deux attentats à la bombe contre une multinationale des télécommunications en République Fédérale d’Allemagne marquent les débuts de ce qui allait devenir les Revolutionäre Zellen (RZ, « Cellules Révolutionnaires »). Inspirées par les mouvements de libération armés dans le dit tiers-monde et portées par l’agitation subversive qui secoue les métropoles occidentales, les RZ réalisent des dizaines d’attaques, ciblant plus particulièrement le complexe militaro-industriel. Au début des années 1980, elles définissent un angle plus social-révolutionnaire avec le foisonnement d’importantes luttes offensives contre la construction de centrales nucléaires et d’autres nuisances industrielles, de conflits contre l’OTAN et le militarisme, de combats contre le patriarcat et les nouvelles technologies, ou encore de révoltes d’une jeunesse enragée. Dotées d’une solide logistique souterraine décentralisée, les RZ revendiquent près de 200 attentats, principalement explosifs et incendiaires, jusqu’en 1993.

Dans ces entretiens, trois anciens des RZ donnent leur vision du parcours historique de cette organisation de résistance armée. Avec une disponibilité au débat encourageante, ils dressent des bilans critiques, s’interrogent sur l’action offensive, réfléchissent sur les difficultés qu’implique une structure organisationnelle décentralisée mais permanente, questionnent les rapports au sein des groupes d’action souterrains et reviennent sur les péripéties de vies ayant une dimension de combat clandestin.

« Notre objectif est et a toujours été la diffusion de la résistance armée, était et reste le soutien d’un réseau de groupes autonomes qui, en tant que tendance armée au sein du mouvement, sont capables d’agir par eux-mêmes dans leurs villes et régions, qui y poussent plus loin les contradictions. »

Hamburg, Germany: You Are The Crisis! DHL Fleet Torched

Posted on 2023/05/17 - 2023/05/17 by darknights

The face of the exploitative system is sometimes only visible in this world by looking behind the numerous corporate logos that flash back and forth before our eyes every day, spitting at us from illuminated billboards or pestering us penetratingly from the Internet.

The companies behind names like Amazon, Tesla, Vattenfall, Deutsche Bahn, Thyssen-Krupp, Telekom, DHL, etc., leave much more visible traces in other areas of the world. Destruction of nature and war have turned this earth into a battlefield and the people and animals who live on it into mentally and physically unwell beings.

The analyses that try to capture what has led to the current misery here since the beginning of the industrial age are neither abstract nor far-fetched. They clearly name the capitalist actors as the culprits and the patriarchal system they adhere to as the root cause. Only complete idiots still believe that reformist policies and green capitalism can be acceptable ways out of the crisis.

For us, it will never be enough to mark our cross at the next election or to consume or do without in one way or another. Another world can only become possible with diverse means. That is why on the night of May 11 we attacked with fire a fleet of trucks of the company DHL. Several vans and box trucks were thus given over to the flames.

With an armada of trucks, vans and a large squadron of airplanes, DHL is an enormous, CO2-emitting polluter that exemplifies the destructive lifestyle of the industrial system. Even the greenwashing campaign that this corporation runs can only fool the most naive. Let’s destroy as much as we can to slow down the destruction of the planet.

Rome, Italy: Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo” (April 22, 2023)

Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo” (Rome, Italy, April 22, 2023)

On the night of April 22nd, we placed a device near Forte Appio in Rome, one of the hideouts of Aeronautica Militare [italian Air Force]. We celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth in this way. A little reminder for those who sow war and misery all over the world. Banks, politicians, military, scientists… they are rubbish and as such must be wiped out. Let’s not forget the massacres in the sea and in prisons like when in March 2020 the state suppressed with blood the just revolt of the prisoners, killing 14 of them. Strength and love for Serge, a comrade who is between life and death after being shot by the French cops. Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna and all those who do not lower their heads. For the diffusion of revolutionary, violent and destructive action.

Italy: ‘To burning hearts’ Statement of the anarchists accused at the trial for Operation Renata

Posted on 2023/02/21 - 2023/02/21 by darknights

Four years after the repressive operation Renata on February 19, 2019, we publish – not for an aseptic “exhumation” of recent history, but because these are texts that address the profound social and individual reasons for the anarchists’ thought and action – the statement of the seven comrades accused during the first-degree trial (“To Burning Hearts”) and a second statement distributed during the appeal trial. In addition, we believe it is important and necessary to find and disseminate the statements of comrades who, during the trials, take the floor continuing to support the ideas and practices of attack against the state and capital.

To burning hearts

Statement of the anarchists accused at the trial for Operation Renata

The anarchist does not look to success, to victory, to competition. He fights, because it is right. And in any struggle loss is part of life. He does not change his mind because he loses, much less give up the next struggle. The System is self-feeding because of the people who do not fight, not because they are invincible. The anarchist’s job is to instill in the people revolt, not in segments but continuous. Like a wave that recedes and then returns. You ask me if we will win? You ask me the wrong question. Ask me if we will fight and I will answer yes.
Luigi Galleani

Today we decided to have our say on the “Renata” operation. In other writings, the investigation has been analyzed, both in its general repressive aspects of the state and with regard to the technological, inquisitorial and legal tools used to hit those who still dare to fight for something different and still blow on the wings of freedom.

We have decided not to turn to the court that will try us nor to the diligence of our repressors. A courtroom is not the place where we choose to speak today.

We want to speak in those places where there is struggle, where there is still critical spirit, wherever there are women and men who are aware that so many things must be changed now, that this state of affairs must be revolutionized.

So we are going to talk about the actions that we are accused of or that are included in the investigation.

These actions-night or day, individual or collective-are part of a conflict that goes far beyond the specific facts or the territory in which they are located. They are the result of a broader clash, that between the exploited, the exploiters and those who defend them.

Of these actions we share the spirit, the ethics, the method, the goals, regardless of who carried them out. They speak for themselves, they are understandable to most, they point to a path – that of liberation. They point the finger at those who live by exploitation and war, hatred and violence, they wish for something more, something that will put an end to the worst atrocities and barbarities, but above all they aim to destroy the wall of resignation, in times so poor in human solidarity, rebellion, critical thinking.

Those who in recent years have said and still say that such actions serve no purpose, that the game is not worth the candle, that nothing will change, that human beings have permanently lost their wits by reducing life to a constant fratricidal war, have stopped dreaming, have stopped questioning those responsible for injustice and the causes that have brought society to a moral, environmental and material level that is disturbing to say the least.

Voltaggio, Italy: ‘HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!’ Relay Antennas sabotage in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

recieved by email

HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!

This increasingly pervasive and intrusive society is now entirely illuminated by the beacon of science, and it treads, step by step, the path indicated by it.
This light is not only nefarious but is leading us toward a point of no return, toward a deadly precipice.
Although this is well known, it is also pointedly reiterated by scientists and members of the political class themselves.
In a speech a few months ago, the former minister of ecological transition, Cingolani, said that every “breakthrough” procures more problems than it solves, but that nonetheless it is progress and therefore we must move forward.
This “moving forward” translates into the “green” model.
Everything is or must become green: green economy, green nuclear power plants, green technology to which the digital revolution belongs.
It is yet another transformation of society, no longer political as at the time of the French Revolution, nor economic as in the various restructurings of the capitalist model, but techno-scientific.
The various sectors of the capitalist economy either adapt or disappear, and politics supinely carries out the various impositions dictated by science.
The current transformation has certainly taken advantage of three major opportunities that have come its way: climate change, covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.

– Climate change, in the public eye, has led millions of people to demonstrate and thus bring attention to our society’s environmental impact on the planet.
Since very few are actually inclined to radically change their lifestyles, but want to enjoy all the comforts they are accustomed to, their protests are already a blunt weapon from the start. The power system has found in this a nice proposal to renew itself by initiating the so-called “ecological transition,” which consists of a major restructuring of the way of producing energy (renewable sources) and consumer products that are more “sustainable,” that is, with less environmental impact, thus killing three birds with one stone.

THE FIRST political: thus dampening the protests and making it clear that the voice of the governed is close to the hearts of the rulers; one never knows that these, despite the reigning social peace, if unheeded will not seriously disturb the sleep of the masters.

THE SECOND economic: a profit opportunity for companies that can launch new products on the market and by appearing “friendly” to the environment, attract to themselves a slice of new consumers and consequently new earnings.

THE THIRD scientific: the chance to experiment, research in hitherto untrodden fields and further increase their influence on living things.

– The covid-19 has given a strong impetus to medical science, which by appealing to fear and a desire for a return to “normality” has in fact imposed compulsory vaccination without, moreover, waiting for the necessary testing time of a serum before it can be “safe”; a testing on billions of individuals.
Not only to medical science but also to technical applications to monitor and card all those people refractory to the vaccine. The various green passes and permits to be able to travel or work could not be effective without widespread control of individuals, control made possible by the increasingly new and invasive technological apparatuses.

Russia: Bombing and undermining of bridge leading to facility of Minsitry of Defence

Posted on 2023/01/07 by darknights

04.01.2023

The Anarcho-Communist Militant Organization takes responsibility for undermining the railway bridge leading to the facility of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The action was carried out some time ago. Unfortunately, the bombing was not 100% effective, but the experience will be used in future attacks. So it was decided to make the experience public, not only for our benefit, but for the benefit of the whole guerrilla movement.

We used a charge of ~10 kg of permons in a metal casing (a paint bucket). An intermediate detonator of ~1 kg of ammonal-3 (saltpeter, sugar, powder) in a plastic case (mayonnaise bucket) was used to start the permons. To detonate the ammonal, a detonator made of ~10 grams of acetone triperoxide in a paper case (paper cylinder wrapped with duct tape) was used.

To place the detonator in the center of the ammonal charge, a paper tube with a diameter slightly larger than the kiso detonator was placed through a hole in the lid of a plastic mayonnaise bucket. This solves two problems at once: it is possible to place the ammonal in the container in advance, while isolating it from the outside environment (because it is hygroscopic). And secondly, the detonator can be inserted at the very last moment, reducing the risks. Continue reading “Russia: Bombing and undermining of bridge leading to facility of Minsitry of Defence” →
