Genoa, Italy: Arson attack on IREN group vehicles in solidarity with anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito & anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2023/04/01 - 2023/04/01 by darknights

Received anonymously & transmitted:

Democracy cannot allow certain thoughts to be clearly expressed, and certain words to be used with impunity, because they could make inroads among the oppressed, among the excluded. These words without stakes take on greater weight for me because they cost me and will cost me more years in prison, but it’s my way of resisting, of fighting back.

Alfredo Cospito (January 2021)

On the night of 31 March we attacked some vehicles of the IREN group with fire, a leading company in Italy in the district heating service, operating in the production and distribution of electricity and technological services. IREN is a young company but with a veteran entrepreneurial posture in line with all the other criminal multinationals such as ENI and Benetton that profit from the destruction and looting of territories around the planet. This was enough to put the IREN group in our sights, if we then add, in recent weeks’ news, that IREN has entered into agreements with the Israeli Mekorot water company which implements water apartheid from the Palestinian people, then the choice of attacking her was more than spot on. Our thoughts go to Alfredo who, with his struggle, a true manifesto of dignity and freedom, gave us the strength and courage to put ourselves on the line. May the flames of this attack warm his body after more than five months of hunger strike. We close this article with a clarification: we do not participate in the dichotomy that the regime’s politicians and media are promoting, that of a struggle between an anarchist against the state. Anarchists declared war on authority almost two centuries ago, certainly not on October 20, 2022 – the start of Alfredo’s hunger strike. You must understand that if Alfredo were to die or remain alive, if Alfredo were free or would remain a prisoner, we have already declared ourselves your bitter enemies some time ago and we will continue to be however things go.

WARM THOUGHTS TO ANNA, IVAN AND JUAN.

REVOLUTIONARY SOLIDARITY TO ALL ANARCHIST PRISONERS AROUND THE WORLD!

LONG LIVE BLACK INTERNATIONAL!

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

DEATH TO THE STATE!

Athens, Greece: 40 windows smashed of Italian insurance company Generali’s new HQ in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/26 by darknights

On Saturday night 18/3 we chose to attack the Italian company Generali, one of the largest insurance companies in Europe. The insurance company sells the illusion of security which we broke when we smashed with hammers about 40 windows of their new headquarters on Syngrou Avenue. The action was done as a minimal sign of solidarity with the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike since 20/10/22 against the barbaric 41 bis prison regime and the sentence of life imprisonment without possibility of appeal. The struggle that Alfredo is fighting is a struggle for all.

Explosion and fire in 41 bis

Santiago, Chile: First incendiary outburst of the year at Internado Barros Arana

Posted on 2023/03/26 by darknights

On Thursday, March 9, the first incendiary attack took place at the Internado Nacional Barros Arana (INBA), a high school for high school students, which last year was quite active in the dynamics of the street struggle against the Carabineros (COP) and a military regiment adjacent to the place. The presence of hooded students exceeded 40, responding to the call of “Mochilazo” along Alameda to exert pressure against Boric’s government.

Colonel Pedro Alvarez Ortega of the Central Santiago Prefecture commented: “There were Molotov bombs thrown and incendiary barricades set up (…) Between 25 and 30% were white overalls. We have no information regarding any damage to the interior, only what I have just commented, we are coordinating with the Army and also with the school’s directors”.

A banner was displayed in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito: “Inba 2o23. End to the 41 bis regime. Insurrectional solidarity”.

Below are some records:

Leipzig, Germany: Repression Can Be Expensive – Fire at Skoda

Posted on 2023/03/25 - 2023/03/25 by darknights

Last night, we went out and attacked several new cars of a Skoda dealer in East Leipzig with fire as a reaction to the house searches against antifascists last week. In doing so, we surrendered a total of 19 cars to the flames with simple means – 12 of them burned out completely, the rest were heavily damaged. Skoda proudly participates in equipping police units around the world.

On Wednesday, March 15 – of all days on the international day against police violence – the police stormed 5 apartments of antifascists in Jena and 3 in Leipzig with machine guns at the ready. In the same afternoon, a special task force attacked an entire house on the Eichendorffstraße in Connewitz and even shot(!) several doors open. As background, they named the attacks on neo-Nazis around an international fascist meeting in Budapest in February. Also in Karlsruhe, a house search took place, in which the pigs also proceeded with extreme brutality, background here were the protests against the AfD state party conference in Offenburg.

We were inspired by the call to react to every further wave of raids with plenty of damage to property as well as the practical proposals of the companions, who had already decided on an offensive reaction after the last wave of house searches in Leipzig, and we have already started – so that many more actions may follow!

We have chosen Skoda as a target, because they have been involved in equipping repressive organs all over the world for decades – be it in France, where the flics (cops) are currently trying to put down the social revolt raging there with full force, or in Italy, where the anarchist Alfredo Cospito is currently wrestling with death. With this action, we want to send him and all fighting companions flaming greetings of solidarity.

We are already looking forward to coming together with you militantly on Day-X in the Antifa Ost (Antifa East Germany) proceedings and to collectively oppose the current wave of repression. In case administration, cops or courts think about authoritarian measures against the demo like bans again, they should be clear: This time we are prepared, and it will be really expensive!

Freedom and good luck for all persecuted antifascists, whether in prison or on the run!
Alfredo Libero! For the revolt!

Rome, Italy: Claim of the incendiary attack on Poste Italiane in response to the internationalist solidarity call for the release of comrade Marcelo Villarroel

Posted on 2023/03/20 by darknights

Claim of the incendiary attack against Poste Italiane in response to the internationalist solidarity call for the release of comrade Marcelo Villarroel (Rome, March 18, 2023)

CLAIM OF THE INCENDIARY ATTACK AGAINST POSTE ITALIANE

IN RESPONSE TO THE INTERNATIONALIST SOLIDARITY CALL FOR THE RELEASE OF COMRADE ANARCHIST MARCELO VILLARROEL.

“THE URGENCY OF THE ATTACK DEMANDS FIRMNESS.”
Francisco Solar

MARCH 18: SOMEWHERE IN ROME

We greet the 150th day of our brother and comrade Alfredo Cospito’s hunger strike by giving ourselves the joy of attacking with fire the infrastructure of the Italian state, specifically we set fire to 16 cars owned by Poste Italiane.

Proud to join the campaign of revenge, against the abomination of 41 bis, the hostile life sentence and Alfredo’s death sentence launched against the Italian state, we choose to respond with this attack to the internationalist call to action in solidarity with Marcelo Villarroel 15 years after his arrest and in the context of the permanent campaign for his release proposed by comrades:
– Individualidades Afines
– Red Solidaria Antikarcelaria con Juan y Marcelo (RSAJM)

Against an existent that oppresses us on a daily basis and so that the impetus given to us by the hunger strike of anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito does not fade, we declare a permanent emergency (which gives us the urgency of our short lives) regardless of the outcome of the struggle our comrade has undertaken.

To the wait-and-see hope of a social revolution we place before the joy of denying the present without being clouded by the future.

10 100 1000 ATTACKS AGAINST THE STATE AND CAPITAL

LONG LIVE ANARCHIST NIHILISM

LONG LIVE THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL

AGAINST THEIR FUTURE: LET US SET FIRE TO THE PRESENT

Chile: Necessary words. 15 years in prison. Text by comrade Marcelo Villarroel

Posted on 2023/03/18 by darknights

I have been in prison for 15 uninterrupted years. 22 months in Patagonia, territory occupied by the Argentine state where I was detained and the other 13 years and 2 months in the maximum and high security sections of Santiago and Rancagua where I am today at the time of writing these letters.

Necessary letters as an inevitable reference of the passage of time and its implications.

As an inescapable trace of an oiled memory Kon la gazolina ke has lit thousands of barricades and vindictive fires demanding the release of anarchist and subversive prisoners through the years of struggle and resistance inside Chilean prisons.

I have been living for 15 years in high and maximum security confinement regimes in which sensory deprivation tends to be normalized as well as the hostilities of the environment, the structure and the internal order of the whole prison daily where the goal is to break your will and make you a citizen prisoner respectful of all its repressive and authoritarian internal order built to break the indomitable spirit of those of us who walk standing up, dignified and without fear within the prison reality through which we have had to pass.

Even from the captivity I have seen and lived the oblivion and amnesia of the majorities, the comfort and the conveniences of many, the complicit silence and the artful attack of the press and the police, their politicians and all those who in some way or another have made us invisible, defamed and attacked us from the comfort of a computer, from their comfort zones, from their privileged positions as harmless citizens servile to the normality of what exists.

Chile: Words from Monica, Mawvnhko and Itamar on the occasion of another March 8th

Posted on 2023/03/18 - 2023/03/18 by darknights

Today 8M millions of women fill the streets of large cities around the world, we gather here again in this space of commemoration and struggle. We wish to keep alive the flame that those rebellious women decided to ignite hundreds of years ago and that today comrades continue to embody day by day from different trenches.

Over the years the struggle against heteropatriarchy has sprouted, resisted and persisted in many territories. Heteropatriarchy is present in multiple areas of our lives, both in our interpersonal relationships and in ourselves, we are constantly learning and unlearning, inhabiting new experiences that make us question and reflect from different realities and environments.

The heteropatriarchy hits harder to those who resist the subjugation of their nature, that which the system defines as normal, it is not the same experience that we live indigenous, intersex, trans, gay, non-binary, pans, lesbians. Above all, it is not the same for those who decide to attack every bastion that seeks to dominate and destroy us. For the same reason we do not raise the banners of passive victimhood, on the contrary, we aim at constant confrontation against everything that seeks to subdue us.

Today we want to remember different comrades who with their struggle have nurtured the antagonistic path that we have decided to embrace. Herminia Concha, Luisa Toledo, Cláudia López, Aracely Romo, Jill Phipps, Guilly Peachy. We also wish to emphasize those comrades who have fallen in confrontations or have been assassinated for their fervent commitment to the defense of land, water and territories and animal liberation. Nicolasa Quintreman, Macarena Valdes, Emilia Baucis, the three Mapuche weychafe comrades. Nicolasa fought hard against the installation of ENDESA’s Ralco project in Pehuenche territory. At the age of 74, she was found dead in the artificial lagoon of the same project. Macarena Valdes, seed guardian, defender of water and forests in the Newen-Txagil community, was found dead in her own home at the hands of hired killers from the companies RP Global and SAESA at the age of 32. Emilia Baucis, defender of water and territories, anti-speciesist, part of Lof Llazkawe, was murdered at the age of 25 by hired killers from the Riñimapu condominium in the context of a territorial recovery in Riñiwe Lewfu.

We remember every compañera/e who has been killed for fighting against the killing of animals and the devastation of their habitat. Because we recognize speciesism and patriarchy as two oppressions that share the same system. One seeks the subjugation of other species, considering them inferior, despite their capacity to feel. And the other seeks the oppression and invisibilization of women and dissidences, considering them inferior beings that can be violated and commodified. Therefore, we believe that it is not possible to fight for the liberation of human women and dissidences and ignore the violated females of other species.
