Carabinieri – Dark Nights

Genoa, Italy: Ex Latteria Occupata under seizure

Posted on 2024/12/05 by darknights

On the night of December 2, the carabinieri, under the usual order of PM Giuseppe Longo, seized the Ex Latteria Occupata and reported three comrades.
Ex Latteria, like others, is a place that has always opposed the exploitative and repressive logic of the state at war. A place of gathering, frequented by many girls and boys.
After the arrests on May 4th, the prosecutor still wants to tell the tale of defending decorum, that is, the normalized, racist, and alienating everyday life at the expense of every individual’s freedom.
This latest attempt to stifle anger and dissent will not work, you will find us in the streets.

THURSDAY, December 5th from 6:30 PM at Stradone Sant’Agostino
FRIDAY, December 6th at 5 PM at Piazza San Donato

Milan, Italy: Everyone hates the police

Posted on 2024/12/04 by darknights

On Sunday night [November 24, in Milan], Ramy Elgaml died after falling from the scooter he was riding on with a friend, pursued by the carabinieri for several kilometers.
Ramy was a 19-year-old boy who lived in Corvetto.
Since his death was announced, numerous boys and girls, his friends, have gathered on the street at the crash site, alongside his family.
Soon the pain of his death turned into anger and a thirst for truth regarding what had happened.
The night between Sunday and Monday there were moments of clashes with the police in the streets of the working-class neighborhood where he lived, where someone had started to set fire to trash bins and rubbish.
Even on Monday evening, for a few hours, normalcy came to a halt, and in its place appeared burning barricades and groups of people clashing with the police, who responded by launching numerous tear gas canisters in an attempt to disperse the crowd, which, however, did not let itself be intimidated.
Ramy’s death is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back. Those who come from the working-class neighborhoods deal with the police every day, for one reason or another. He knows the arrogance and violence of the cops and knows well what a police stop means.

And that’s how the anger grows.

At the end of Monday evening, a 21-year-old boy was arrested and taken to San Vittore while in Corvetto the anger and the melted plastic from the bins on the asphalt remain.
Ramy will live in the hearts of his family and friends, in the anger that will set the streets on fire.
Cops out of the neighborhoods.
Freedom for all.

Repression: Eight anarchists arrested of Ex Latteria Occupata in Genoa

On the night between Friday and Saturday 8 people were violently arrested by the carabinieri in front of Ex Latteria Occupata (the former dairy occupation) of Stradone Sant’Agostino in Genoa with accusations that include resistance to public officials, aggravated injuries and damage. The eight arrested were transferred to two different barracks in the area, to Marassi and Pontedecimo. About twenty demonstrators gathered as a sign of solidarity towards the arrested in front of the barracks, dissolving only in the early hours of the morning.

In a press release the anarchists of the Ex Latteria Occupata write “We go down to the street alongside Ema, Anais, Edo, Paolo, Michele, Jack, Lea and Davide. Against the militarization of the cities made of both baton and taser and more totalizing forms, cameras and artificial intelligence. The same technologies they design in universities build in Leonardo, devouring resources and which we see employed on all war fronts “.

Rome, Italy: Claim of the incendiary attack against a private vehicle belonging to a carabiniere

Claim of the incendiary attack against a private vehicle belonging to a carabiniere (Rome, March 29, 2024)

“Soon Anarchists we rush to the fight for victory or death with petrol and dynamite every class and the government to eradicate..”Anarchist Song

As the Mediterranean is increasingly a mass grave crammed with the corpses of the oppressed from the global south , Gaza is being razed to the ground worldwide and winds of war blow baleful to every corner of the globe leading the world’s proletarians to slaughter at the hands of master interests, we have decided to act, to attack. Identifying in the military of any side an enemy to be put down for anyone with a tension of freedom, without leaving aside the specific responsibilities of the homegrown weapon, we have decided to direct our hatred and vengeance against the military personnel of the Carabinieri Corps.

In a present in which every revolutionary hypothesis seems like a vain chimera, we have decided to keep fighting: they may deprive us of the hope for a radically different world but not of the thirst for revenge that we feel against those who perpetuate the oppression of one class over another and its defenders (such as the law enforcement) and those who enrich themselves by plundering the planet in a
dastardly manner.

The attack against power in any place and time, even at a time such as today, in which repression is striking increasingly harsher every glimmer of conflict and is burying alive our comrades held hostage in the prisons seems to us the best way to give continuity to the centuries-old clash between oppressed and oppressors, which as Anarchists we feel we are part of.

Hoping that these glimmers of individual revolt can risk this gray and pacified present, we reiterate that as anarchists we put the liberating violence of the oppressed before the systematic violence of those who hold the monopoly of the latter and we affirm the legitimacy of revolutionary violence as an instrument of the struggle against the state and capital.

It is in the firm conviction of the rightness of our ideals made of freedom and equality that lies the courage to fight, in the first person, choosing to take the upper hand and trying to return, albeit in a small way, the blows inflicted by the enemy.

For these and 1000 other reasons we chose to attack by making use of incendiary instruments 1 private car belonging to a cop: The choice to attack in the “private” stems from the desire to make those who choose to defend the social order pay the price for their choices in an increasingly targeted manner, those who choose to defend the established democratic social order, wearing a uniform.

COPS, BOSSES AND BOURGEOIS :

YOU WILL PAY DEARLY AND YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING.

We take this opportunity to reiterate our solidarity with the Anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche- Fernadez, Pierlorenzo Fallanca, Luca Dolce, and to all of the Anarchists placed under seizure in state prisons everywhere. You are not alone Comrades.

Incendiary greetings to the fugitives, may life smile on you, see you again on the barricades.

Note from La Nemesi:

Errors are present in the opening quote. The song mentioned is “Mano alla bomba.” a translation of the Spanish-language song “Arroja la bomba,” and the portion of the correct lyrics is the following: Soon anarchists we rush / A fighter for victory or death / With oil and dynamite / Every class and the government to undo and eradicate.

According to what is known, the Italian was published in “Guerra di Classe,” a newspaper of the CNT-FAI (Sección Italiana), Barcelona, year II, no. 14, May 1, 1937, p. 6, with the title “Mano alla bomba!” and the indication Adaptation of VIR. Motif of the anarchist anthem “Arroja la bomba.” (VIR is the pseudonym of Virgilio Gazzoli, an anarchist from Pistoia). “Arroja la bomba” was composed during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) and was sung in prisons by imprisoned anarchists.

Rome, Italy: Clashes and demonstration in Trastevere in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on 101st day of hunger strike

Posted on 2023/01/31 by darknights

Clashes and demonstration in Trastevere in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on 101st day of hunger strike (Rome, Jan. 28, 2023)

We publish a brief contribution on the demonstration held on Saturday, January 28 in Rome in solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito at 101 days into his hunger strike. Near the concentration in Piazza Trilussa–which lasted a few hours and from which a procession had failed to leave–after some of those present had deflected out of the encirclement, there were some clashes with the repressive forces, shortly thereafter in trouble due to finding themselves partially surrounded and the determination of comrades to hold the streets (but who did, however, manage to stop a comrade near Piazza Trilussa). After the clashes, a procession was held in the alleys of Trastevere.

At the end of the procession several dozen comrades were stopped by DIGOS, riot police, and carabinieri. All 41 people stopped during the day, who were taken to police headquarters and released without restrictions as of the early hours of Sunday 29, were charged with Article 337 c. p. (resistance to a public official). We reproduce below a brief information note released on January 29 itself.

In these days when the comrade’s health condition is rapidly and dramatically worsening, with this initiative the comrades present affirmed the importance of a presence and consequent confrontational practice to be held in the streets, in solidarity with Alfredo and in support of the hunger strike. Let us continue the struggle with anger and determination. Get Alfredo out of 41 bis!

* * *

Yesterday in Rome street fight against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment, with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike for 101 days. Police wanted to surround the protesters, remained surrounded. The celere in total confusion charged the DIGOS twice, managing to send one of them to the hospital. The piazza chief wanted to prevent a harmless procession, had two hours of wild marching through Trastevere, which resisted by barricading itself and repelling numerous charges in the alleys.

While it is true that a good part of the 41 stopped could have been avoided if it had been realized a few minutes earlier that the party was ending, this does not detract one iota from the message of anger at our comrade’s now imminent execution coming from the streets. In fact, if anything, it reinforces it.

A big thank you to all the rebels and solidarity with all those who have been charged.

Long live anarchy!

Santiago, Chile: Responsibility claim for bus set on fire outside the Ex-pedagógico (UMCE) and armed confrontation with special forces of the carabineros

Posted on 2023/01/13 - 2023/01/13 by darknights

Note: The events that are claimed below happened on November 4 of last year, and their late date is explained by the fact that, in the words of the comrades themselves, it is “to be able to remember it with the aroma of the passing of time and to begin a new year of subversion and explosions.”

(Received at informativoanarquista@riseup.net)

Santiago, Chile: Bus set on fire outside the Ex-pedagógico (UMCE) and armed confrontation against special forces of carabineros for the iconoclastic memory of Kevin Garrido and in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and the comrades of the Susaron Case. (04/11/2022).

“We speak of a new war, a new partisan war. Without front or uniform, without army or decisive battle. A war in which the focal points are deployed far from the mercantile flows, although they are connected to them. We speak of a totally latent war. That has time. Of a war of position. Which is being waged where we are. In the name of no one. In the name of our own existence, which has no name” (How to do? Tiqqun).

About the action.

During a quiet and bohemian Friday afternoon at the Ex Pedagógico, while the citizen/student mass lives its lethargic and alienated youthful fun, a violent direct action took place. This action is framed within the so-called “Black November”, where it is informally called to commemorate the life and death of comrade Kevin Garrido through the violent, diffuse and multiform attack. The action begins with our exit through the front of the university to proceed to cut off vehicular traffic in the area. We set up a barricade of tires and debris that we lit at the moment of intercepting a public transport bus. Our intention was to cross the bus horizontally to the street in order to cut off all traffic, however the driver of the vehicle blocked its driving, so we proceeded to set it on fire at the place of its interception with accelerating liquids. Without intending to harm the mass of citizens, we were constantly rebuked and repudiated for this action. We did not care and we responded verbally to their desperate insults and we were attentive to any onslaught that could emerge from any individual-citizen-cop with a craving for civil heroism, we shit on those people who, upon seeing armed comrades, dare to insult them, believing themselves -imbecilically- untouchable, voluntarily putting their physical integrity at risk in front of us. After this eventful moment, we entered the campus to wait for the police deployment and to receive it with all our strength: thunderous gunshots and a rain of Molotov cocktails hit the bodies of the squad of henchmen who naively took cover on the corner of Juan Gómez Millas street while the armored cars crossed the street. They clearly did not expect our means of attack to put their miserable lives at risk, which left a couple of policemen on the ground (apparently wounded by the shots) and provoked an almost immediate response: they shot at us with their service weapons and gassed the entire area of the front gate. After this counterattack, we used and unloaded all our material and disappeared fleetingly from the place.

Motivations.

This action -as we mentioned before- is part of the international campaign for a Black November in memory of the savage iconoclast Kevin Garrido, 4 years after his murder in the Santiago 1 prison. It is also a blow to the gears of capital that subject all forms of life to a lethargy of normality/passivity typical of a counterinsurgent period catalyzed by the democratic mechanisms of a social democratic government that has established an atmosphere of post-transition.

We abhor this reality and have no hope of reforming it, whether for democratic or “revolutionary” ends, so we attack it. Besides, hope (even the “hope of revolution”) is just that: hope. We do not hope. We attack… “when hope dies, action begins” (Beyond Hope, Derrick Jensen). Let those who still believe in social and human redemption wait while their social bases are camouflaged according to the dictates of the government of the day. We no longer believe. We do not even believe in the Social Revolution that the prophets of anarchy occupy to embellish their babbling tongues and project a false image on the depressing reality of this world. We deny it. “The idea of “progress” is central to the modern Western paradigm in which the assumption that the whole world is moving towards an ever better future predominates. The idea of the inevitability or possibility of a global libertarian future arises from that belief” (“Desert”, anonymous). We leave theoretical fables for the masturbatory leisure of academics. We are not part of any revolutionary tradition that dictates and imposes our practical work. Our action is Pleasure through destruction. We live our anarchy today and not in a “revolutionary” tomorrow.

Perhaps a burned bus, a few Molotovs and a couple of bullets will not put an end to domination. However, we prefer to contribute decisively to its destruction without any consequences. Our freedom is found in the attack, because it is only when we untie the chains of morality and the servitude of capital and decide to take action, that we conquer that freedom of which the old and dusty philosophy books talk so much.

Rome, Italy: Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Five years later, we publish – taken from the website anarhija.info (DN: English translation from Insurrection News) – the claim text of the explosive attack against the Carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district of Rome. Consistent with the need for support for the practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity, we consider it equally important and necessary to find, and therefore disseminate, the documents and claim texts.

Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI (Rome, 7 December 2017)

In times of social peace and compliance there is no better reply than action. A stimulus, a continuity and a jolt to wake up those who sleep.

Acting on one’s own initiative breaks the compliance and inaction and ignites those whose blood boils.

The anarchic praxis of attack must be the basic stimulus of anarchy, otherwise it is a walking dead. Action is necessary to make us alive in the ways we consider opportune, removed from every program, hierarchical and vertical structure. Many revolutionary practices are part of an anarchism in its bowels.

We have decided to take our lives into our own hands by breaking the oppressive peace that surrounds us.

On the night of the 6th to the 7th of December we placed a steel thermos containing 1.6kg of explosives outside the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district in Rome.
