Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs

Posted on 2022/03/31 - 2022/03/31 by darknights

The tanks are rolling through Europe and the war has been dominating the headlines for weeks. But we have not woken up in a new world, as the press and politicians have been trying to make us believe since the war in Ukraine. The current war is the direct result of a militarized world. It is the same dirty racist and murderous system that we attacked on New Year’s Eve. It is the same capitalist system that divides people into groups and rules over them. The very system in which some get and stay rich with arms exports. It is the same Nato that has been waging war for years and that acts in the same militaristic logic as the authoritarian pig Putin. No, the only thing “new” about the situation is that the warlike misery has moved closer to Europe.

At the turn of the year, we set fire to a company building of OHB in Bremen. The fire unfolded in an exemplary manner and destroyed an entire building. According to OHB, the jobs of 330 employees were rendered unusable for the time being. The damage, worth millions, still delights us every day. What followed in January and February was the purest propaganda show by cops and politicians.

We learned from the media that a security guard was allegedly in an anteroom of the attacked building. According to our observations, no one was in the completely darkened building at the time of the attack. We did not want to wantonly put anyone in danger. The attack was of course not aimed at this presumably precariously employed person who has to work in a multi-million dollar corporation on New Year’s Eve. We wanted to harm the arms company OHB and sabotage its war-mongering work.

That the attack was right is shown not only by the reaction of the cops and the press. Wow, what a wave! Directly the day after, the Senator for Economy, Labor and Europe from the party Die Linke has herself photographed at the scene, backs OHB and denies that OHB is an arms company that cooperates with Frontex. Politics and the arms industry in common interest for Bremen as a business location. A disgusting melange! Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs” →

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson & incendiary attacks by Cells of Anti-Militarist Action – Another war is possible

Posted on 2022/03/26 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

ANOTHER WAR IS POSSIBLE: CLASS, ANTI-STATE, REVOLUTIONARY.

We take responsibility for the arson attacks that took place from March 2 to 14 in areas of Athens. Specifically

At dawn on Wednesday 2/3 we set fire to and destroyed a company van of AKTORA in Chrysostomou Smyrnis Street in Vyronas. On 1/4/2021 in Evia, the bodies of 3 dead workers were found hanging on the DEI poles and thrown lifeless on the ground at an AKTORA construction site. The murdered workers of the class war are not included in any official statistics, many times they do not even have a name, nationality, age. They are mere fuel and legalized collateral damage. Only proletarian organization and revenge can keep alive the memory of the murdered workers and our class hatred against their murdering bosses. Giannis Carlatiras, 43 years old, George Toskas, 55 years old, and Alex Brouka, 45 years old. stand next to the names of Antonis Dellios, Stamatis Diplaris, Giritlis Tzihat and many other local and migrant workers, all of them murdered on AKTORA construction sites, in our own accounts, in our own memory.

Let us realize that the organization of class revolutionary anti-violence was not, nor is it, a secondary dimension of workers’ action. It is on organised proletarian counter-violence, on the destruction of capital’s proletarian elements and the targeting of its cadres, on the wildcat strikes, that not only any “bargaining power” of the exploited masses is based, but also their very unity in the fields of class warfare. It is the resistance and attack of the workers against the bosses that unites the Class, not the bargaining for the material conditions of its simple survival.

In the midst of declared war and class lockdowns, trade union slogans have been reduced to “health protection measures, masks, tests and vaccinations”, legitimising automatic conscription and therefore universal devaluation of labour power in the name of public health. War, every form of war organised by states, is an automatic devaluation of the class not only in terms of wages and rights but also in simple material and biological dimensions. War means extermination, destruction, death, and when it is officially declared, the generalized appeal to peace simply digs our hole. It can only seem dystopian to claim individual military helmets and safe passage routes to work in the event of an actual military conflict. A working class disciplined to the dictates of the state and capital is a working class vulnerable, easy prey to their warlike designs.

Italy: We sabotage the war – Triggering the International

We receive and publish the editorial of the number 4 of the magazine BEZMOTIVNY, “We sabotage the war – triggering the International”, dedicated to the Ukrainian crisis

WE SABOTAGE THE WAR – TRIGGERING THE INTERNATIONAL

By the time readers hold these lines in their hands, the crisis in Ukraine may have reached paroxysm and unleashed in its dramatic precipitation. Or it may not. Some passages may have been overtaken or disproved by facts, or still awaiting verification. We are not concerned about a possible outdatedness of what we are writing, since these words can only be outdated. Faced with the war, anarchism has always maintained the same position that was Bakunin since the time of the Franco-Prussian conflict and the Commune. It is therefore appropriate to start from the obvious.

Our internationalism translates into an absolutely simple sentiment: the exploited, in Russia as in the United States, in the Ukraine as in Italy, are our sisters and brothers, their blood is our blood; the industrialists and the bosses of finance, the generals and the official lords, all governments, are our eternal enemies. Being moved by feelings of eternal hatred and love, our passions cannot but shy away from current events, from their opportunism, from a paracular evaluation of the conditions and propaganda of the moment.

And yet, in order to prevent these lofty sentiments from turning into abstract and harmless intentions, good for clearing one’s conscience and, in the end, for finding, by a slightly more tortuous, but for this very reason even more hypocritical, way, one’s own accommodation, a settlement in an opportunistic position, another must be added to these intentions: the only practice compatible with the internationalist discourse is the one that sets as its main enemy one’s own government, one’s own state, one’s own imperialist bloc.

Madrid, Spain: GUERRA A LA GUERRA. FUCK OTAN. NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29 AND 30 EN/ES

GUERRA A LA GUERRA. FUCK OTAN
NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29 AND 30

On June 29th and 30th a new NATO summit will be held in Madrid. This military organization was created after World War II as a weapon to defend the interests of the winner of the war: capitalism.

During these days the streets will be filled with military, owners of arms companies, leaders… with the aim of planning and developing new war scenarios, new weapons and ultimately prepare for all the difficulties and adverse scenarios that the techno-capitalist project may encounter.

In a world increasingly precarious and full of miseries we have been able to see how little by little the military presence in the streets has been normalized, as for example the military deployment during the pandemic generating a climate of war, terror and social control. A demonstration of force, of government of the catastrophe with military forces as protagonists such as, for example, NATO.

NATO not only defends the geostrategic projects of capitalism and imposes its way of life on the entire planet, but will also be the main shock force against the revolts that follow. One of these geostrategic conflicts is the one taking place right now between Russia and NATO, with Ukraine as a scenario. That region has been destabilized in a state of permanent low-intensity warfare and with elements of the so-called “hybrid war” between the imperialist powers since 2014.

From the media, the army has been getting a facelift since the pademia and now they pretend to sell us the idea of NATO as a pacifying force, which is totally far from reality.

That is why we launched this blog with the aim of providing information, analysis and calls against the NATO summit because we refuse to become merchandise for their wars.

OUR WAR IS THE SOCIAL WAR
FUCK NATO

Spoleto, Italy: NOI NON CI ARRUOLIAMO – WE DO NOT ENLIST IT/EN

Posted on 2022/03/02 - 2022/03/06 by darknights

NOI NON CI ARRUOLIAMO

Alla fine la guerra è arrivata. Dopo due anni di preparazione alla guerra, di canti, bandiere, disciplinamento, quel «siamo in guerra» annunciato a partire dalla primavera del 2020 è infine realtà. Le tragiche notizie che vengono dall’Ucraina sono la miccia che si andava cercando per la militarizzazione definitiva della nostra società.

Le guerre sono sempre un bagno di sangue per gli sfruttati e un ricco affare per i padroni. Non ci interessano le contrapposte ragioni della propaganda dei belligeranti. Gli sfruttati in Russia come in Ucraina, in Italia come negli Stati Uniti sono i nostri fratelli, il loro sangue è il nostro sangue. I governi, i generali, gli industriali, i finanzieri sono i nostri nemici, i nostri carnefici, i nostri affamatori.

L’arrogante e insaziabile espansione trentennale della NATO e la crisi interna della Russia sono state la miscela per la situazione esplosiva nella quale ci troviamo gettati. Da una parte, una lunga serie di precedenti imperialistici come i bombardamenti in Serbia, le guerre in Afghanistan e in Iraq, il sostegno a bande criminali come quelle che governano l’Ucraina, dove i sindacalisti vengono bruciati vivi; dall’altra, dei regimi, come quelli di Putin e Lukašenko, che si tengono in piedi con la colla della paranoia da accerchiamento e le nostalgie imperiali, dove gli anarchici e gli oppositori vengono arrestati e torturati. Di fronte a tutto questo schifo nessun fronte è il nostro. I nostri nemici non sono gli sfruttati dall’altra parte del fronte, ma i governanti tutti, a partire da quelli di casa nostra.

Bremen, Germany: The enemies of freedom are ours! Offices of the arms company OHB System AG in flames

Posted on 2022/01/08 by darknights

We usher in the new year with restless nights for Marco R. Fuchs and his billion-dollar space and defense company Orbitale Hochtechnologie Bremen (OHB System AG). With hammers, we smashed several windows of a building of OHB and then set the offices on fire.

The damage to the company’s image is certain. Happy new fear!

OHB System AG is considered a respected space and high technology company. Since the 1950s, OHB has mainly been building satellite-based systems used for military interests. Due to direct orders from the German Armed Forces, OHB can no longer even attempt the fig leaf of dual-use, i.e. using its satellites for both civilian and military purposes. OHB is an armaments group.

Defense groups are crisis winners: Despite the pandemic, OHB is not only visibly expanding by means of new buildings in the Bremen Technology Park, but is also tapping into the US market.

Milan, Italy: Bomb against Unicredit

Posted on 2022/01/08 by darknights

The clamour of revolt shattered the silence of a freezing winter night. Anarchist violence was unleashed against Unicredit, exploding in the night against one of its Milan branches in the neighbourhood of Barona. An explosive device placed on the threshold of the institute destroyed the entrance and adjacent cash machines.

The bank giant, chaired by ex-minister of the economy Padoan, is the second most important bank in Italy and can be found in eighteen countries. It has been financing exports of arms and military systems for years, and among its shareholders is Black Rock, a world leader in investment funds. In a world where banks have the power to determine market trends and people’s lives, direct attack on these structures is one of the best weapons of struggle.

Revolutionary solidarity and complicity with anarchist prisoners in the world, proud of their path of struggle.

Nothing is over.

No surrender.

Bremen, Germany: Incendiary devices against a Frontex collaborator

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

Attack on the arms company and Frontex OHB supplier in Bremen

Last night 24/11/21, we attacked the arms company OHB SE on the Manfred-Fuchs square in the industrial park of the university of Bremen and set several cars on fire.
OHB SE is one of the biggest players in the field of aeronautics and aerospace with its headquarters in Bremen, but it makes its money on the deaths with which the federal army and Frontex pave their way. In 2001, OHB became one of the biggest players in the satellite and aerospace sector when it won a contract worth more than 320 million euros with the German army ‘for the development, construction, launch and operation of the SAR-Lupe radar reconnaissance system’. This was to enable the German army to obtain information through autonomous military espionage, independent of weather conditions.
In 2008, the Federal Army officially received the satellite system. OHB itself stated: ‘With SAR-Lupe, OHB has succeeded for the first time in running a satellite program as the main contractor. In doing so, the company developed and built the satellite system and is jointly responsible with the Federal Armed Forces for its operation. OHB is thus not only a supplier to the Federal Army, but also actively participates in the German warfare and surveillance machine. In 2013, the German Army again placed an order with OHB for the development and construction of the SARah tracking system. This was and is to be used by the German army exclusively for military purposes.

The German army has had an unbroken tradition of killing since the beginning of its existence. Even today, hardly a week goes by without a right-wing extremist network being uncovered in the Federal Army or tons of ammunition disappearing, only to resurface in precisely these networks. The OHB not only provides the German army with the instruments it needs to commit murder, but also actively participates in this process itself.
But that’s not all; both SAR-Lupe and SARah data have been and are being passed on to Frontex. Frontex uses the data from the German surveillance satellites, as well as from the “earth observation program” COPERNICUS, to monitor potential routes of passage, groups of people on the routes of exile, as well as the boats they use to cross the seas and flee the war and terror that Europe exports to their countries of origin, all in order to eventually attack them.

Bremen, Germany: Against the borders of Europe! Army vehicles should burn (again and again)!

Posted on 2021/12/14 by darknights

We are for anti-militarism!
We are for a world that does not need borders!
We stand for desertion!

We are for response!
We are for anti-racism!
We are for a revolutionary perspective!

We are for revolutionary violence!
We are for the violence that opposes the horrible and brutal violence of social conditions!
We are for the struggle against war!

Sometimes it almost seems that the slogans of the radical left are outdated. Sometimes it seems as if the idea of a world without war is no longer in fashion. War is accepted with a shrug, as a realistic option. Sometimes it seems that all these military operations “without alternative” have put us to sleep. Sometimes. Encouraged by the attack on the arms company OHB in Bremen in November, we decided to fight the war here. That’s why in the early morning of December 7th we set fire to a fleet of army vehicles in the Neustadt district of Bremen – in the parking lot of the company MAN, which profits from the war.

As the old slogan says: what burns in Germany cannot cause damage elsewhere.

Twenty years of Afghanistan have shown us not only in a very banal way, but also in a very brutal way: war is shit, war brings nothing but suffering, destruction and death for many people, and huge profits for a few. Twenty years of war in Afghanistan, during which countless civilians have lost their lives. In addition there are all the dead who, while fleeing this murderous war, lost their lives on the way to a supposedly safe Europe. Drowned in the Mediterranean. Frozen to death on the north-eastern borders of Europe. The borders of this Europe that won the Nobel Peace Prize. It makes us vomit. Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: Against the borders of Europe! Army vehicles should burn (again and again)!” →
