Hamburg, Germany: Stones against a “green” coworking space – Solidarity greetings at the Köpi

Posted on 2021/10/22 by darknights

On Sunday night, the new office of the coworking network Impact Hub at the corner of Schomburgstraße and Thedestraße in the Altona district was relieved of some of its glass. We don’t want your green and improved capitalism. We want the complete overthrow of social relations. And if the state and the cops keep evicting places where people are organizing, we won’t leave the yuppies alone in their lofts and fancy offices either.

Impact Hub sees itself as a platform that connects start-ups working in the fields of sustainability, diversity and green energy and makes them profitable. Chic offices in many cities around the world, for example a 3500 sqm creative space in Neukölln. Of course, there should be no shortage of this, as there is obviously enough space for people and accommodation in Hamburg and Berlin!

Berlin, Germany: Strabag and ATM on fire

Posted on 2021/10/17 - 2021/10/17 by darknights

As you may already know from the press, a Strabag transporter in Lichtenberg caught fire last night. The fire at an ATM in Kreuzberg has not yet been reported. We (a small autonomous group) take responsibility for both. We were motivated by the call for decentralized actions for the Köpi car park, which is to be cleared on Friday.

PS: Strabag/Züblin profited from forced labor in the nazi regime and obviously profits from exploitation and oppression now. Look at the emerging skyline of berlin: every second construction crane is from this company.

Berlin, Germany: Arson attack on vehicle fleet of the public order office

Posted on 2021/10/12 by darknights

Geisel’s chain dogs are loose again. For the next eviction of Berlin. The demonstrations against the eviction of Köpiplatz mutate into real police parades and any opposition is punished with punches. Helicopters fly circles over Wagenplatz and the neighboring neighborhoods. Cops besiege rooftops and sneak through backyards. The hardliners of the SPD interior administration and their Red-Green allies once again play occupying power to beat the way free for speculators.

The conditions are clear. There is no dialogue with those who beat us up and give the orders for it. The only way is a diverse struggle for housing for those who live in it, for uncontrollable neighborhoods and neighborhoods in solidarity. Against politics and capital, with many on the street or with few decentralized and unpredictable.

Full of rage about the announced eviction and in deep solidarity with the Köpiplatz and the Rigaer94, which is always in the target of attacks, we have in the night of October 12 in the northeast of Berlin the vehicle fleet of the auxiliary cops of the public order office in Alt-Hohenschönhausen by means of incendiary devices transported to the junkyard.

Let’s not wait until it’s too late!
Autonomous group “Peter H”

Berlin, Germany: Attacking gentrification – DEFEND KØPI

Attacking gentrification – DEFEND KØPI

On Sunday night we visited the Google office on the corner of Adelbert and Engeldamm and smashed its windows. Only a stone’s throw from Køpiplatz, it is, as a stakeholder in gentrification, co-responsible for the upcoming eviction attempt.

Solidarity greetings to all people who will defend the Køpi with us on 15.10!

Flensburg, Germany: Who clears forests, sows hate and reaps flames

Posted on 2021/10/12 by darknights

The following letter appeared today (1st Oct) on the anniversary of the occupation of the Bahnhofwald in Flensburg.

Who clears forests, sows hate and reaps flames.

One year ago tonight, the Bahnhofswald was occupied. The destruction of forests, especially of intact ecosystems – no matter where and especially in cities must not go on like this.
For five months there was hope for a meaningful, sustainable future for the forest, but once again greed for profit won out.
Destroying the forest was a wrong decision.
It is always a wrong decision.
We will continue to make those responsible feel that.
Tonight three of the Dutschkewitz – company cars burned.
No tree does not matter!
The Bahnhofwald is not forgotten!
Defend life free spaces

(Rigaer94) First statement on the raid of 6th of October, 2021 (Germany, Berlin)

Posted on 2021/10/09 - 2021/10/10 by darknights

The Berlin cops, today, 06.10.2021 at 7am, wearing their dirty trash-bag uniforms and carrying shields full of color from the resistance on 17^th of July and armed, raided our political structure and living space, Rigaer94. Once again, as everyday, the servants of the state fulfill their commands and obey to the capital.

The state guarantees the order of the capitalist system, so to squeeze even more profit from people and their living spaces, gain power over every life, destroy any political idea that fights against them and oppress any individual who does not fit to their plans in this capitalistic, patriarchal and racist society. It is clear that the Berlin cops still work with Lafone Investments Ltd. and are their mercenaries, who execute orders of the plan to get rid of Rigaer94 and so to force the gentrification process of Nordkiez, Friedrichshain – after they lost their last attack on us in June this year.

They entered our political structure and house today morning by smashing windows of the side house on 1^st floor, destroying once again our doors and even removing the entire wall of one of the flat-doors which was barricaded on the 4^th floor front house. They were carrying their useless papers from the court with warrants to identify everyone who is in the house at the moment of entering. They also made drawings of floor plan to check for construction changes. The warrant is based on ASOG. This law makes it easy for the cops to raid and repress political structures and individuals when they want. Officially the aim of the raid is to prepare for eviction trials of all the flats of the house. However, there is no doubt, that the raid is used to weaken our structures and the movement who fights against state and capital, capitalism and gentrification, one week before the eviction of Köpi Wagenplatz (15^th October). It is a common tactic which tries to attack and isolate structures and individuals in solidarity with threatened projects, shortly before an announced-planned attack. As it also happened with the eviction of our neighbours L34 last year, when our structure got raided and sieged for some days on July 2020, few months before the Tag-X.

Berlin,Germany: Fight For KøpiPlatz TAG X 15.10.21

Posted on 2021/10/03 - 2021/10/03 by darknights

Køpiplatz bleibt, damn it! The Wagenplatz needs your support and your presence now more than ever! We have received the date of eviction for the 15th October, but we will still not be silenced.
After a year of ups and downs, empty promises from politicians and the city, discussions in the BVV (the Berlin-Mitte district politicians assembly), false hopes and crushing realities, we are still shocked by the devastating news that we will be evicted from our homes in just three weeks.

But we will continue to fight! KøpiPlatz is here to stay!

We suspected that the election would have an impact on our date. In fact, we received the letter only six days before the German elections. This conveniently takes away the responsibility of this Government and the next during the interim period.

At this point, everyday leading up to the eviction is crucial. We are sad, emotional, and ANGRY, but we are not afraid. We have been preparing for these weeks to use every available way to fight. But now is the time that we also need our friends and supporters. With solidarity comes strength. If we plan to continue with our collective spaces in Berlin, where we live together, work together, laugh and cry together, we must also fight together! This is why we would like to call on our friends and community in Berlin and around the world to stand with us in the weeks before the eviction, to scream a message to the system that we are bigger and more powerful than they can possibly imagine.

Berlin is a city full of alternative and autonomous spaces, particularly in our beloved unruly neighbourhoods. Each one weaves something special and different into the fabric of our communities. But this does not mean that we should be complacent, and let these spaces slip through our fingers. We should not allow our streets to become beige and uniform. We need to stop this now before it is too late. Wir Bleiben Alle!

Upcoming action from Køpiplatz and Comrades

‘DEFEND KØPIPLATZ’ DEMO: Saturday 2nd October at 8pm Køpiplatz will organise the ‘Defend Køpiplatz’ demo. It will take place in and around our rebellious neighborhoods and on OUR streets.

Bremen, Germany: Once again a vehicle of prison profiteers torched

Posted on 2021/09/24 by darknights

“It is companies like Spie, WISAG, Massak, Sodexo […] that keep state rule alive through their pandering.”

Inspired by the compas who already relieved Dussmann Service GmbH of three vehicles at the beginning of the year, we attacked SPIE in the night from Monday to Tuesday and burned out a van in front of their branch at Sielhof.

Both as part of the French nuclear industry and through its cooperation with RWE in the lignite mining in the Hambach Forest, SPIE has already made itself a legitimate target.
But for us, SPIE is one thing above all: a prison profiteer.

Locking systems, video surveillance, alarm systems, emergency and cell call systems and many other products from the repertoire of companies like SPIE form the technological basis that makes prison and the surveillance state possible in the first place. They are not only accomplices, profiteers who decide to accept the suffering and dehumanization of prisoners for a little profit. They are themselves part of the order that prison and other organs need to discipline in order to secure its existence.

The difference between state authorities and private companies is primarily one of civil law.
We shit on that right and attack them.
We call them what they are: Pigs.

Dresden, Germany: Fire Set in Prison Construction Office

Posted on 2021/09/24 by darknights

Dresden, September 17, 2021

For some time now, militant resistance has been stirring against the ongoing construction of prisons in Zwickau. In the meantime, many companies involved in construction, planning or logistics have been affected. Particular attention was paid to the construction company Hentschke Bau, whose boss had also attracted negative attention through donations to the AfD. However, such a large project involves many participants and we do not want to be accused of forgetting anyone. So in the night from September 16 to 17, we dedicated ourselves with a few liters of gasoline to the engineering office Rathenow in the Albertstadt. We broke two windows and placed incendiary devices in the rooms. We hope that the fire disturbed the smooth running of further prison planning and that the company understands: Whoever earns money from the construction of prisons will have to bear the consequences! On the area we found additionally still another Bonzenschlitten, we set it without further ado on fire.

We see in jails a place of pointed mutilation, where people are (supposed to be) broken. The outcasts of society are locked away here to hide problems in living together. Instead of taking collective responsibility for these problems, it is left to the judiciary to decide who is allowed to live in the world outside the walls and who should only view the narrow perimeter of the prison through bars and fences. As anarchists we oppose state repression, we oppose the imprisonment of people, be it through analogous walls or the technological imprisonment in the open air prison. With the same determination, we stand with the prisoners. The struggle inside and outside the jails takes a wide variety of forms that complement each other. Some people stand in front of the prison on New Year’s Eve or write letters, others organize against the conditions and make known the deplorable conditions behind the walls, still others take care of the concrete support of the inmates. Now and then, some go out with the aim of calling the profiteers of exploitation and imprisonment to account. Continue reading “Dresden, Germany: Fire Set in Prison Construction Office” →

Berlin, Germany: Molotov cocktail attack on police station in Tiergarten district

Posted on 2021/09/20 - 2021/09/20 by darknights

Some see an injustice in the institutions of the executive. Here, the officers hit a left-wing sit-in too hard in order to allow a right-wing march to pass, there they would act too gently against lateral thinkers, migrants would be deported to “unsafe” countries of origin, and if an officer’s trigger leads to death, he should be brought to court for his irregular actions, since he must have acted out of personal rather than professional motivation.

It is this attitude that sees the police as a more or less neutral hinge between rebellious forces in society and those who strive to live in a peaceful, democratic and tolerant agreement. It is this attitude that imagines itself morally on the side of the good and innocent and ignores structural differences and privileges, which could be the reason why the cudgel is rarely aimed at their heads. This attitude leads to the abstruse reproach to the police squad: “Where were you in Hanau?”. This attitude represents a distrust of the individual, who could not live in a society with others without authority and the threat of repression. It is this attitude that makes you wonder if you won’t dial 110 in an emergency? It is this attitude that makes the narrative of the individual case possible.
It is this attitude that asserts that violence against the police is violence against people like you and me. This attitude allows the uniform or badge to be seen as a garment, an occupational utensil, rather than a globally legitimized expression of a function.

Cops all over the world have the function to detect the smallest rebellion against the system of capital, against the system of patriarchy, to press it into the logic of criminal law (i.e. to present it as non-political), to discredit it and to appropriate it. In the struggle for interpretive sovereignty, their goal is to control and crush this rebellion, with visible or subtle violence, depending on the balance of power and the form of government.
In this sense, the system of subjugating every element of our lives to the standard of norming and hierarchization according to property, body, religion, gender, origin, and attitude that prevails everywhere is manifested.
Their use cannot be judged in the categories of unjust or unjustified. The institutionalization of the police has never been about justice. The police are a system of domination and any narrative of humanity behind the uniform serves only to obscure social conditions.
