Arms Race – Dark Nights

Never fit for war! Fire to Bundeswehr [German armed forces] fleet

In the course of the Bundestag [German federal parliament] elections, almost all parties outdid each other in increasing arms spending, (re)establishing German military capability, demanding even more arms exports, and obliging young people to serve in the military. The FRG [Federal Republic of Germany] has long since returned to the game of the arms race and mobilization. But wars don’t just need weapons and infrastructure, it needs soldiers, but above all a society that is willing to follow, that is ready to murder and that is ready to blindly and jubilantly accomplish all the atrocities of the world.

Never fit for war!
Not today
Not 2029
Never again
Resist the beginnings…

We are in a crisis in which the next world war does not seem far away. If this war continues to escalate, it will devastate our planet. While the US has withdrawn from the war of aggression in Ukraine, the “united Europe” stands together and openly discusses a real nuclear deterrent against Russia. Every day, events come thick and fast without us finding an answer that does justice to what is happening in this world.

This is not our war – we want a future.
What war is actually being prepared for here? And who benefits from the war?

The wars and conflicts of this world revolve in a significant proportion around energy distribution struggles, access to resources, economic interests and ultimately power. It is not a struggle for democracy, justice or values, even if this is the narrative of the rulers. The majority of people suffer from these wars, while the rich and powerful line their pockets. Western imperialism is trying to maintain its supremacy, while other imperialist forces such as Russia and China want to claim it for themselves. The capitalist system reacts to the current crisis, as so often in history, with destruction and aggression. And the different warring parties never act according to the interests of the people who are directly affected by them. War is always a war of capitalist powers, in which the people of all countries can only lose. Their suffering is portrayed as an inevitable fate and enmity among each other is fueled with nationalism.

We defend our revolutionary position on the question of war and fight for a friendship of all people and peoples!

What is happening in Germany is not preparation for the defense of possible attacks or the establishment of a so-called defensive capability. To become fit for war means to prepare to wage war. What Pistorius and Merz are preparing German society for, also with regard to a global shift in power and a new strengthening of wars to secure energy reserves, zones of power and sales markets, are wars of aggression in other countries with high German participation. To this end, soldiers are to be sent to schools, the civil clause is to be lifted and the infrastructure and health system are to be prepared for the event of war.

Here in the country, rents are rising, the social system is being undermined more and more and at the same time hundreds of billions of euros are to be made available for armaments. And there is no end in sight: In order to meet the 2 percent of GDP demanded by NATO, the special fund is only a milestone, and the debate about further increases has been going on for a long time.

What is happening here is warmongering. Where is the outcry?
A further intensification of a global war is being prepared here in Germany, so we must sabotage the centers of the warmongers.

Out of a clear mind, seven Bundeswehr vehicles were set on fire in the parking lot of a MAN workshop on the night of March 7, because we only like war equipment on fire.

No to rearmament! No to arms exports! No to conscription!
For the peace of the peoples!

Rome, November 28, 2024 – Incendiary attack against Italferr, militarism, and nationalism

We live in times of integration, where the boundaries that usually divided the various domains of control are disappearing. We are in the era of cybernetics, of biotechnologies applied to the body, of transhumanism through which the machine continues its war against the living, trying to integrate with the biological.

These are also the times of actual war, times in which the private sector increasingly supports the public sector in establishing and pursuing the strategic objectives of the State. Capital has entered a new phase of competition, the surplus is struggling to find outlets, and the balance of power between capitalist blocs and their respective areas of influence is being redefined. And war is always a good business.

On April 15, Leonardo, the most important Italian defense and technology company and one of the largest in the world by revenue, controlled by the Ministry, signed an agreement to this effect with RFI, part of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane group, also controlled by the Ministry of Finance. This agreement falls within the scope of the implementation of war logistics required by the changing global geopolitical landscape. The war in Ukraine, along with a broader redefinition of the balance of power between capitalist blocs, is rapidly bringing the military sphere back to the forefront of state concerns. The arms race is already underway (+93% increase in arms imports in 2023), military production is becoming the new driver for the struggling economy, and the entire military machinery must be updated and greased in anticipation of upcoming conflicts.

The agreement aims to “ensure the movement of military resources, within and outside Europe” even “on short notice and on a large scale,” as stated in the announcement of the agreement. It operates within the framework of “Military Mobility, an EU initiative aimed at enhancing existing infrastructural and digital capabilities.” The declared purpose is to create the so-called “military Schengen,” the integration of the individual states’ infrastructure network to allow the rapid and efficient movement of military equipment within Europe. This plan, voted on in 2018 by the Commission, is the only one in the defense sector to have received the approval of all member states. It commits them to “simplify and standardize cross-border military transport procedures” and to “allow the free movement of military personnel and equipment within the EU’s borders” (from the official PESCO website, an initiative of the European Union within the framework of the Common Security and Defense Policy aimed at the structural integration of armed forces). Note that this project was proposed by the commander of the United States Army in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, highlighting Europe’s subservience to the will of U.S. imperialism. While Europe is increasingly fortifying its borders, and the “free movement of goods and people” becomes a memory, victim as it is of the whims of individual rulers ready to suspend it at the first sign of new “emergencies,” efforts are being made to facilitate the “free” movement of military units and resources through the removal of bureaucratic barriers and the improvement of infrastructure.

Specifically, in this agreement, Leonardo will provide “its expertise and support of advanced A.I. techniques on multiple fronts: census and monitoring of dual-use infrastructures, modeling of infrastructures and articulated services, simulation and optimization of complex networks,” while RFI will provide the physical infrastructure, its management and maintenance, considering that it consists of a communication network that runs alongside the tracks and traverses many vectors across the Italian peninsula. It therefore seems that the main application of this agreement is to provide the company that owns the HPC (High Performance Computing) Davinci-1, one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world in the aerospace, defense, and security sectors, “a secure and interoperable communication infrastructure with the different types of networks (TETRA, LTE, 4G/5G), to ensure high levels of service and security.””What is emerging, in simpler terms, is the transition of an infrastructure primarily designed for civilian use to one of the strongest defense industries in Italy and the world.” Continue reading “Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack against Italferr, militarism, and nationalism.” →
