Chile: Text from subversive prisoner Marcelo Villarroel for Black August

Posted on 2025/09/09 - 2025/09/09 by darknights

One year after the departure of Tortuga and Belén. Words from subversive comrade Marcelo Villarroel

The daily struggle and resistance against imprisonment in centers of extermination and isolation would not be possible without the fertile bond of insurrectionary complicity between different comrades in different parts of reality.

In high-security and maximum-security cells, in the furtive mountains, in cities and metropolises riddled with techno-surveillance, on the paths of the struggle to live free… there is always one of us, one who does not adapt or surrender to the vicissitudes of domination, and that is where we find Tortuga, on that path of subversive antagonism, and Belén, walking freely through Anarchy.

We walk with our dead, our prisoners, and our fugitives. This is not a slogan but pure reality. We walk with our lights and shadows that feed the eternal fire of our rebellion. We walk with a firm step, seeking change by first changing ourselves, even if it costs us.

We walk without lowering our arms and we resist, we persist, and nothing stops us, not even the death that inevitably embraces us on this long road.

A fraternal and complicit embrace to all those whom nothing and no one can stop. To those who organize, to the imprisoned comrades who wrote, and to all those who resist with dignity in prisons and cages.

One year after the departure of Tortuga and Belén, we will continue to sow chaos and anarchy!
With all our fallen brothers and sisters and comrades!
Subversive anarchist prisoners and Mapuche prisoners out of jail now!
Until we destroy the last bastion of prison society!
As long as there is misery, there will be rebellion!

$hile: Words from the comrades imprisoned in the Susaron Case in memory of Lupi, Tortuga, and Belén during Black August.

Posted on 2025/09/09 by darknights

As prisoners known to be opposed to order, we feel it is our duty to send our love and fond memories to three individuals who are no longer with us on this earthly plane, and to their loved ones: Tortuga, Lupi, and Belén.

We were fortunate to have known all three of them.

Tortuga, in countless days of insurrectionary expansion of the anarchist seed, giving precious moments of propaganda, music, and questioning.

Belén, in the heat of the same struggle and direct action. We all knew how she bravely and fiercely put her words into practice, and she was always greatly respected for it.

And Lupi, when we went to welcome him with our comrades from Carreta Anárquica in Santiago 1, when he was imprisoned. We tried to give him a warm and supportive welcome: bringing him delicious food and warm clothes, laughing for a while in the face of misfortune. Seeing firsthand how, despite the nervousness and fear that comes with entering prison for the first time, he maintained a stoic and proud consistency in his words and actions. We met him in prison and will never forget his innocent and beautiful energy, the light he carried above his head despite the dire circumstances.

For all of them, honor, fire, gunpowder, and flames! To remember them without these elements would be disrespectful.

Let’s bring theory into conflict: let ideas set fires.

In our colorful and dangerous hearts live the comrades who are no longer with us physically. But we, the masterless, know that they walk beside us in danger and calm.

Fire to the existent, and may memory wreak havoc.

Anarcho-nihilist prisoners, vegan straight edge, Susaron case.

Santiago, $hile: Agitation in memory of compañera anarchist Belén Navarrete

Posted on 2025/08/23 - 2025/08/23 by darknights

On the night of August 21, one year after the death of anarchist comrade Belén Navarrete, various individuals displayed propaganda in her memory, remembering her in the streets where she shared, conspired, and took action in various instances, leaving her anarchist mark.

With our dead in our hearts and active hands that fuel the confrontation against power.

Belén Navarrete present in chaos and anarchy!

Nothing has ended, everything continues!

$hile: Poster in memory of anarchist comrade Belén Navarrete

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

One year after the death of anarchist comrade Belén Navarrete and in the context of Black August.

This propaganda is beginning to appear on the streets of some cities, bringing to mind a comrade who was part of various anarchist initiatives during her lifetime.

We recognize her concrete contributions to the struggle against power with a clear position, without lukewarmness, and we value that today in a world of ambiguity and half-measures.

With seriousness, solidarity, and determination, she reached out to comrades, supported projects, and became part of others. In recent months, some accounts of her participation in propaganda and action initiatives have been published.

In this Black August, which reminds us of our sisters and brothers who have left this plane, the call is to spread their memories through the initiatives that we bring to life, that we participate in, that we support, that we conspire with.

Death is not the end for those who were committed to an anarchist journey. We will continue to contribute to the construction of the combative memory of our comrades.

For a Black August!

Because there is a whole world to destroy!

Belén Navarrete present in chaos and anarchy!

$hile: Political violence. Words from anarchist compañera Mónica Caballero

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

Political violence can be understood, from an anti-authoritarian perspective, as an aggressive response that seeks to break, attack, or fracture each of the components that make up domination.

This response could be limited to damaging the symbols of authority, thus leaving a powerful propaganda message, that is, one that manages to capture each of the motivations behind the action and, ideally, causes the violent response to be repeated or spread, or at least part of it.

As I said earlier, it is possible to attack symbolically, understanding that the current system of oppression can be seen represented in different elements or physical objects, or even in people.

For example, we have the case of Sante Caserio, who stabbed French President Sadi Carnot. From my perspective, he did this because the president represented political power, which at that time had led to the deaths of his comrades Ravachol, Vaillant, and Henry. His action sought to be a direct attack on those who publicly upheld power in the territory dominated by the French state in the 1890s. In addition to carrying out revenge, Sante wanted there to be no doubt about his motivations, which is clear in his cry: “Long live anarchy!” At the time of his arrest, as well as in his court statement.

Currently, we understand that the capitalist, heteropatriarchal system of domination is intertwined with complex social and cultural relationships, in addition to material structures and the people who sustain them. Consequently, and from an anarchist perspective, I have (and have held for several years now) the following questions:

How could a decisive qualitative leap be made that goes beyond attacking the symbolic? Is it really possible to “hit where it hurts” the capitalist system, in a world where relations of domination have reached a network of networks throughout the world?

The answers to these questions have changed as I have come to understand how domination has developed and persisted, and I have tried to act on these answers by shaping the many ways in which we can destroy everything that prevents the full development of each individual.

On the long road of how anti-authoritarian political violence is exercised, the successes and failures must necessarily be a collective learning experience for those of us who stand on the same side.

Among those of us who have found ourselves in anarchist/anti-authoritarian “action,” we constantly meet new comrades, just as we painfully say goodbye to many others.

Comrades Belén, Tortuga, Lupi, your memory lives on.

Health and Anarchy!

Chile: May actions thin the veil that separates life from death. Words from La Zarzamora in the context of Black August

Posted on 2025/08/23 - 2025/08/23 by darknights

August has a black memory. One that is indispensable for those who stand their ground and decide to act against domination. In memory, something from the past merges with the present, even more so when memory ceases to be words and manifests itself accurately in insurrectionary action or in a concrete gesture of solidarity. Thus, black memory manages to transcend the censorship of power and advances without temporal or generational boundaries.

There also come moments when those who kept that black memory alive become part of it. And in diffuse temporal spaces, the present, the now, memories, and memory converge once again.

There are moments when life and death, from a binary understanding, vanish, creating an instant in which nothing and everything exists.

How must those who witnessed the cowardly and despicable trial that ended in the execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti have felt in August 1927?

Despite the insurrectionary actions of comrades, demonstrations, and petitions of all kinds for their release around the world, they were electrocuted by the United States on August 23, 1927, at midnight.

“We must respond to their violence with our violence: revenge. We must oppose their infamous instrument that burned the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti with our instruments of vengeance,” said Di Giovanni in Culmine, in response to the infamous execution of his comrades. He also made it happen: he blew up the Washington monument and the Ford Motor Company in Buenos Aires…

The physical separation from so many comrades is an experience that weighs heavily on us. Only by breaking free from imposed understandings can we heal the absences and learn to live with them.

Last year, two dear comrades left us physically: Luciano Pitronelo and, a few days later, Belén Navarrete, both close to people we loved very much, comrades in ideas, activists, and supporters of our comrades in prison.

After that blow, after the impact, the actions began. The banners and graffiti with their names, barricades and pamphlets with their faces, incendiary outings and other chem were once again merging the present and the recent past, in violent actions, in fire, in banners, in graffiti.

And just as others remembered and made present their comrades almost a century ago, confronting cowardly and pacifist positions, today’s actions serve the same function.

Belén Navarrete lives in the explosion that blew up the door of the Abbott Recalcine laboratory on the stormy night of May 19 this year. The cells that bear her name made her present in an act of revenge for the distribution of contraceptive pills that forced an as yet undetermined number of women and pregnant bodies into pregnancy.

In every gesture, in every action, memory and action, a mixture that fuses the present and the past, in August when the renewal of the trees reappears, when the buds are about to burst, the black memory opens the portal where we make our comrades present… every gesture… every action.

May actions thin the veil that separates life from death.
Belén Navarrete and Tortuga live in insurrectionary action.
For our comrades who transcended the earthly plane.

(Chile) Words from fellow anarchists Aldo and Lucas Hernández

For an August of black memory of struggle…

The absence they leave behind for their comrades must have an impact on the daily lives of those who knew them, those who exchanged more than a few words with them must miss them, and how could they not? Who is prepared for the death of a brother or sister? Even if we can put ourselves in the situation, the scenario, there is no certainty of being prepared. All feelings are personal and individual; what one feels inside must be experienced firsthand in order to speak of the loss.

We did not walk with you, we did not know you, but our comrades bear witness to your determined and resolute journey to face this reality.

These lines are to bring Luciano, Belén, and Lupi to mind, so that no comrade has to die in a distant memory, but rather be present in every moment that one decides to confront the establishment.

For Luciano, Lupi, Belén, Santiago Maldonado, Macarena Valdés, and so many others who died or were killed…

First week of a Black August.
Aldo and Lucas from “La Gonzalina” and “Santiago Uno.”

Santiago, Chile: Claim of Molotov Action in Solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH

Posted on 2025/08/12 by darknights

Claim of incendiary outing in solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH, July 10.

The urban guerrilla persists in every action, in every moment where the foundations of this society tremble and fear is replaced by the terror of the imminent conflict.

These are the words that we hear in everyday life, in the diversity of spaces that at some point in our journey we have heard but that have multiplied even more with the passage of time, however fewer and fewer violent actions occur in this disgusting society, rather than wanting to deepen and carry out a thorough analysis of this (which we believe should be taken care of by the pathetic academics who enjoy playing the passive role in the face of the enemy of much theory and no action), we want to vindicate our brothers Aldo and Lukas through actions that were carried out in the search to break the passive and unhealthy daily life mentioned in which at the gates of their trial we decided to show brief but necessary gestures of combative solidarity, that those who face decades of imprisonment are not alone and that the conflict persists against those who subject us to this alienated life, that although today it was only an incendiary confrontation against the bastard police, in the near future there will be bullets piercing their bodies and bombs exploding in their faces, Prosecutors, gendarmes, police or any collaborator of the day we are living in, do not sleep peacefully, that we continue to sharpen our ideas and real threats will be made against you, that nothing is finished, that everything continues here in one way or another, that we know our path and that no matter what we will take our freedom and that of our brothers by assault.

LONG LIVE THE FIRE AND THE TERROR OF EXPLOSIONS.
