Komotini, Greece: Victory in the Struggle of Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

On December 4 we held a rally with hundreds of leaflets, banners and slogans in the central points of Komotini and in the central square in solidarity with the Italian anarcho-nihilist Alfredo Cospito, who is on hunger strike since October 20, against the special regime of imprisonment 41bis in which he is being held in revenge by the Italian state because of his unrepentant attitude.

Athens, Greece: ‘Why burn SPEEDEX?’, Claim for arson attack on vehicles of SPEEDEX by ‘Anarchist Threat’

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson of vehicles (vans/trucks) that were outside the SPEEDEX store in Botanico on the morning of November 27.

With this text we do not wish to present a bulletin of analysis of the daily misery but we want it to be part of the promotional insurrectionary material. The attack on the capitalist mechanism and its little pieces of shit is at a crucial point since we are reaching again a socio-political, economic crisis that comes to neutralize with precision, the increasing impoverishment, unemployment, high rents, repression, the bottom-up. In this dystopian present the judicial ”greatness” hand in hand with the politicians and all kinds of state self-immolators bail out and acquit rapists, murderers (see Korkoneas/Zack case) while imprisoning, convicting and repressing struggling and marginalized people. The tragedy of the reality we live in has no end and everyone is quietly watching as uninvolved spectators, ‘rebelling’ media-wise (We will not make our criticism of these individuals who maintain and perpetuate a liberal democratic world in this text).

We dedicate this action to the courier delivery workers who in the Covid years experienced a unique labour misery, carrying on their backs the insane needs of all the petty bourgeois and non, who in an effort not to be bored, ignoring the possibility of breaking the measures and working conditions in the sweatshops of the Hellenic Post, General Postal Services, ACS, followed to the letter the dictates of the capitalist system: CONSUME-CONSUME-CONSUME. In an empty city for 1.5 years the courier company vans and deliverymen flooded the city streets accepting the social anger of ‘late parcels’. Social cannibalism at its best and the bosses rubbing their hands. Taking the example of the struggle of the SVEOD and the distributors against e-food, we have to harshly criticize the apathy, victimization and lack of organization of the rest of the workers against the bosses and the state that year after year are gaining ground in labor. Take it back by force.

We dedicate the attack also to the 11 Turkish militants and comrade Alfredo Cospito who are on hunger strike and to all the comrades who are on hunger strike in solidarity with Cospito. Through this action we send fiery signals of solidarity to all political prisoners of the world.

Solidarity to the recently imprisoned comrades K., Panagiotis B., Lambros B.

P.S.1.: At the time of writing this text we are flooded with rage at the murderous attack of the uniformed bastards against the 16 year old Roma boy.

P.S.2: Don’t worry, everything will be answered in turn.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Molotov attack on riot cops & riot during the 6th December, anniversary of the killing of Alexis Grigoropoulos

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

Extensive attacks on the riot cops in the center of Thessaloniki after the march for Alexandros Grigoropoulos who was killed by cops in 2008, turned into a riot on 6th Decemeber. Beginning 5th December, there have been extensive riots in Athens and Thessaloniki, protests in many towns around the country, after the shooting in the head of 16 year old Roma kid Kostas Fragoulis. At the same time, the Roma communities in the suburbs of Thessaloniki, Athens and other towns are rising up, fighting with the cops out side the hospital Kostas is being treated in, even outside the court where the cop murderer appeared. Barricades built of burning tyres and vehicles have been erected in their neighborhoods. In Ioannina a cop station was attacked during a protest, in Volos the ruling party New Democracy had its local HQ destroyed, in a Athens metro station a cop was cornered and had to be rescued by the scum of the OPKE special unit, that are also being used to attempt to put down the riots in the Roma areas. Spontaneous attacks are increasing, while the Roma are calling for an insurrection and further protests are planned outside the court and hospital.

Nothing is over, everything continues…

Volos, Greece: Responsibility claim for the breaking of the New Democracy headquarters during the 6th December march.

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

During today’s march, a political intervention took place, specifically breaking into the offices of the New Democracy Party. We broke the glass entrance, then went up to the 2nd floor, broke the door and threw white paint.

The above action took place on the occasion of the attempted state murder of 16-year-old K. Fragoulis on the eve of December 6, the boiler room explosion that led to the death of a student in a primary school in Serres and the provocative attitude of the Prime Minister who praised the cops with 600 euros.

Patras, Greece: Responsibility claim for attacks on supermarket chains

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

At dawn on Monday 5 December, we attacked supermarkets of large chains in the city of Patras, with sledgehammers, causing damage. We chose the supermarkets:

Sklavenitis on the El. Stratiotou

Sklavenitis in Notaras

Market In on Souda Street

It is known to all that accuracy and the unbearable cost of living are not “sky-high” concepts that “happened” to be created by the war in Ukraine and the revaluations it brings, as the Greek state sells as a narrative. On the contrary, they are the result of an increasingly deepening crisis that capital has been in for at least 15 years. In the midst of this crisis, and the opportunity it presents to the world’s rulers, wealth is being redistributed, geopolitical balances are being redistributed, new energy hubs are being created and overall competition is intensifying. In this context, the effect on everyday life for the vast majority of society is more brutal than ever. More and more impoverishment and misery, the imposition of a working dark ages and modern slavery.

In this crisis, the state and capital are attempting ever harder, more totalitarian changes in their functioning, imposing ever harsher conditions on our lives, creating the necessary conditions and situations for the further plundering and exploitation of our lives and the natural world for the sake of their profitability.

The Greek state is certainly moving in the same direction. Only in the last 10-15 years we can mention the memoranda, the neglect and dismantling of the public health care system for the benefit of private interests, the continuous subsidizing of banks from state funds, costs that fall on the backs of society, financial scandals in every sector, bills for the exploitation of the environment, the dismantling of the remaining public character in education and health, the anti-labour bill – the infernal Hantzidakis bill, the tightening of repression and criminal treatment especially of those who struggle and so much more.

Greece: Scenes from the riot in Exarcheia after a 16-year-old kid was shot in the head by cops in Thessaloniki

Posted on 2022/12/06 - 2022/12/06 by darknights

 

Dec 5, 2022

It was during the early hours of Monday 5 December 2022, when a 16 year old kid was shot in the head by a greek police officer of the DIAS motorcycle unit during a car chase in Thessaloniki.

He was accused that he filled his pick-up truck with 20 euros worth of petrol and left the petrol station without paying. Following the news and his dire physical condition, riots erupted in the city of Thessaloniki, located in the north of Greece, later on the same day. At the same time, in Athens, several different protests were held in the evening of December the 5th. The protest in Exarcheia, held in front of the memorial of Alexis Grigoropoulos, (a 15 year old kid that was shot dead by a cop on 6 December 2008, sparking the events that would lead to massive riots all over Greece, known as the December Revolt) soon turned into a march that led to a riot, as seen in the video.

It has to be noted, that today 6 December, protests have been planned in dozens of cities and towns all over Greece, in remembrance of the December Revolt and the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the police in Exarcheia 15 years ago to this day.

Berlin, Germany: Fire against police for Anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

Fire for Alfredo

1/12/22

This night we set fire to pigs’ cars in front of a police station in Berlin.

We dedicate our action to Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan. they are all on hunger strike against the brutal repression by the Italian state.

In the night before Alfredo’s court hearing to review the 41-bis measures against him, we send a message of solidarity. We, your friends and accomplices around the world, walk next to you on the path of refusal and attack.

With the sentence, the italian state wants to silence Alfredo and prevent him from spreading the anarchist idea of total liberation, subversion and autonomy. but they forget that there are many of us and we are everywhere .

41-bis is used as an instrument of control against our comrades. the number of criminal acts punishable by imprisonment is increasing, as is the severity of the punishments. but you will not silence us, you will not suffocate our rebellion.

Our targets are all the repressive instruments of the nation states, like police, prisons, solitary confinement, §129a, 41-bis. There is no difference between Italy and Germany, there is no difference between all these so called “democracies”. Our enemy is the cruel system we live in and all those who want to maintain it.

These flames are also an expression of the flame of rage that burns under our skin after the racist murders committed by the pigs in the last months. Those who were involved in the murder of Mouhamed Lamine Dramé and defend the murderers: feel our hatred and wait for us, ready to strike in revenge, breathing down your necks.

With this action we also show our solidarity with our comrades and the Community of the Squatted Prosfygika in Athens, and we make it clear that we will not accept any attack on our structures without resistance.

LIBERTÀ PER ALFREDO, ANNA, IVAN E JUAN! LIBERTÀ PER TUTTI E TUTTE!

Athens, Greece: Message of Resistance – Intervention at the Greek-Italian Chamber as a gesture of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

“The question of the issues, the lever for awakening the insurgent power of the world is therefore Internationalism.” (Alfredo Cospito)

“Because for those who love life, to react when the question of life and death is at stake is an act of duty, from Monday 7 November I am starting a hunger strike” ( Anna Beniamino)

Anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito has been on a hunger strike to the death in Italian prisons since 20 October, demanding that the 41bis solitary isolation regime applied against him be lifted.

41bis is a sensory solitary isolation regime that constitutes torture and is one of the harshest special detention regimes in the European Union. The Italian state’s attack on Alfredo Cospito is not simply a state choice to eliminate an unrepentant anarchist guerrilla. It symbolises the full frontal assault on the choice of armed struggle and is carried out through anti-terrorist policies and special detention regimes.

The comrade’s strike is therefore both a struggle against torture and special conditions of detention and a battle so that the defence of the choice of armed struggle remains relevant and is not defeated through the murderous silence imposed on Alfredo Cospito.

Santiago, Chile: Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI

Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI (Santiago, Chile, November 28, 2022)

(Santiago, Chile) ATTACK WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST OXIQUIM S.A.

With anarchist attitude, the central offices of Oxiquim S.A. in the municipality of Providencia, Santiago, Chile, were attacked.

The high-powered device did not explode because of a solvable technical problem, so we are aiming for more.

Oxiquim, a giant of the Chilean chemical industry and a direct supplier to the country’s major extractive industries in the forestry, mining, agroindustrial and fishing sub-areas.

Oxiquim, a company headed by Fernando Barros Tocornal, a businessman with a high level of influence in Chilean politics, a direct advocate of dictator Pinochet, former president Sebastián Piñera, and a board member of the animal exploitation company Agrosuper.

Oxiquim, directly responsible for the pollution and ecocide of the waters, territory and inhabitants of Quintero-Puchuncaví, defended by the Chilean Navy during protests against the so-called “sacrifice zones.”

This is a new act of revenge against the perpetrators of Earth devastation and destruction. It’s a new violent action by anarchist hands in permanent conspiracy and revolt. It’s a new attack justified by the existence of domination. It is another insurrectionary action in the no-holds-barred struggle for Total Liberation.

Against technological industrial complex that seeks to exploit and dominate all forms of life, WE ARE SELVAGE FORCE. Against illusions of democracy and against all governments and those responsible for Earth devastation, WE PROPOSE CHAOS AND ANARCHY.

We want that the news of this action reaches eyes and ears of imprisoned anarchist comrades, claiming solidarity as the continuity of the attack against power outside and inside prisons.

With particular complicity we stand with the vegan anarcho-nihilists arrested after the anti-speciesist attack against the animal exploitation company Susaron and with anarchist prisoners Joaquín García, Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar. We also salute the high school students imprisoned for the anarchist uprisings in Santiago high schools and all those who from prison resist and struggle against the state and capital.

We send strength to Boris, Ivan and the anarchist prisoners in France. Strength for Erick King and the anarchist prisoners in the USA. Strength for Toby Shone in England. Strength for Gabriel and the anarchist prisoners in Spain. Strength for Giannis Michailidis and for anarchists imprisoned in Greece, Russia, the Czech Republic and around the world.

Strength for all anarchists who take action.

This attack is part of the international campaign of solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike against Italian state-imposed isolation. Alfredo, this is for you.

For anarchist sedition against every expression of civilized domination!
By all means against authority! With caution and courage!
To multiply anarchist attacks against power!

Athens, Greece: ‘Life is not so good.’ Claim for the incendiary attack on an LG van in Kaisariani

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

In the early morning hours of November 19 to 20, a van of the multinational company LG (life is good) in Kaisariani, was torched. Life is good only for the bosses and the rulers of this world. For us it becomes good only in moments like this, when we are attacking. We dedicate this attack to the Turkish fighters who are on hunger strike demanding a fair trial and to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike against the 41bis regime.

Solidarity to the 4 comrades who are being persecuted for the case of “comrades”.

We send fiery signals of solidarity to the 4 imprisoned comrades accused of the attack on the Piraeus traffic police and to the imprisoned comrades D. Hatzivassiliadis and V. Stathopoulos, who are currently undergoing an appeal.

Practical and aggressive solidarity with all political prisoners.
