Porto Alegre, Brazil: Oil attack on Italian Consulate in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/14 - 2023/01/14 by darknights

Sometimes there are so few anarchists present that more than once they have predicted our disappearance. Sometimes our fury is so intense that it provokes fear and long periods of internal explicative purge. Sometimes many, sometimes few, but constantly and with great determination, we are always for each other.

And that is why, more than once, the fire, the stones, the concentrations from Greece, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Bolivia, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile …. illuminate different territories under the same intention: We are for you Alfredo, we hate all those who isolate you and your struggle we support it from outside.

The night of December 29 we did our part, we sabotaged with 25 liters of burnt oil the main door and the access of the Italian Consulate, we left next to some pamphlets that said:

“In solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike in Italy for more than 60 days, against the death regime called 41 bis. Against all prisons. Long live anarchy.”

May our hostile actions against domination, and its consequences, always find the complicity, solidarity and anarchic affection of our comrades.

Long live Anarchy. Continue reading “Porto Alegre, Brazil: Oil attack on Italian Consulate in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito” →

Porto Alegre, Brazil: Our Response, Direct Action!

Posted on 2022/10/12 - 2022/10/12 by darknights

Faced with the anarchist debate about voting and elections, our response was, is, and will be direct action against all authority. It is urgent to transcend from paper to action.

In the early hours of Election Day we set fire to more than 300 election flags and pamphlets that ignited the tires of a barricade on the Silva Só overpass on Avenida Silva Só, an area close to the city center. With this the flow of normality of the citizenry resigned to voting as a way of life.

On the banner, and on the flyers that accompanied the fire, was written: «Against all politicians, Against all authority, Long live anarchy!».

Call for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2022 // 23 – 30 August

Posted on 2022/08/06 by darknights

The fact that capitalism does not focus on our needs but on profit, is demonstrated with all its brutality in times of climate crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and the collapse of socioeconomic systems all around the world. Those who profit from capitalism enrich themselves through times of disaster. But with ongoing crises we are also experiencing a new era of uprisings from below.

Resistance to the war in Ukraine, Sudanese protests against military rule or the social revolt in Chile are some examples that not only show us the possibilities of organizing and collective struggle. They also highlight how important it is for social movements to learn from each other and support each other in these times. Not only outside the walls but also behind them.

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve seen fierce struggles against imprisonment, reminding us that incarcerated people are the ones most affected when everything goes down. Breakouts from Brazilian and Italian prisons, people in jail setting fire to a prison in Thailand and ongoing hunger strikes like those we see in Greece or in polish refugee detention camps are examples of the courage people in prisons are showing to smash the walls.

In all of these struggles, anarchist ideas and values are the fuel for collective resistance. Unsurprisingly the repression against anarchists is increasing and solidarity is needed more than ever. The capitalist system of domination can function because of the continued isolation between people, endless competition, and overlook our real needs and desires. We need solidarity within our friendships, at work, in the neighborhood, in our communities. Those outside and those inside their walls.

Let’s break out together! That is why we are calling again for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners. Do some action of solidarity! Write letters, organize speeches or film screening, make our comrades visible on the streets with a banner drop or a graffiti and let them show that they are in our hearts and that we are fighting together.

Let’s remember those who fought against this injustice and payed with their lives.
No one is free, till all are free!

If you have any questions or comments, if you would like to send us a picture, a short text, a recording of your event or action, please write to us.
