Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics (Rome, 13 February 2026)

Rome – Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics

Fire to the Olympics! No travelling today!

On the night of the 13th February, at various points and railway junctions, we set fire to and damaged the cables along the tracks, effectively blocking several high-speed lines.
These actions are our contribution to the warm welcome and best wishes for this edition of the Winter Olympic Games.

We participated in massive road and port blockades during the months of mobilisation for Palestine, we invaded stations and attacked the police whenever possible. But today we chose to act under the cover of moonlight, in a small group united by affinity and the desire to live up to the slogans shouted in recent months: let’s block everything!
Because we believe that, in addition to participating in large mobilisations and the conflict they can generate, it is necessary to spread autonomous action, so as not to let them be defused, recuperated and directed by the professionals of “militant” politics.

The powers that be are preparing for war, and we anarchists, revolutionaries and conscious individuals would like to do the same. The railway infrastructure is a key hub for the movement of military forces and materials, and the agreement between RFI and Leonardo, aimed at implementing military logistics on the peninsula, is the clearest example of this. Attacking RFI is therefore a concrete act of anti-militarism and a gesture of solidarity with all those who today suffer the atrocities of war and colonialism.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are no exception: rivers of money fueling construction speculation, happy to arm rivers of concrete to build disposable facilities and change the social “intended use” of entire working-class neighbourhoods. A big business that, behind the glossy and prestigious image of the major sporting event, hides hectares of larch forests razed to the ground to make way for ski slopes and mountains irreversibly disfigured by the associated ski lifts.

Finally, this action expresses our anger at the presence at the Games of ICE agents, the anti-immigrant squads now sadly notorious for murders, round-ups, abuse and violence perpetrated against undesirables and internal opponents in the United States, which reminds us that every police force and every fascist group is there to be used against its own population when “reasons of state” require it.

Only a few ingredients are needed to take action against the world of exploitation, oppression and devastation: a little study, caution and determination in equal measure, a few accomplices, a few litres of fuel… and anything is possible! Good luck!

Trento, Italy: Claim of damage to the headquarters of AXA Insurance

Posted on 2026/02/20 by darknights

Claim of damage to the headquarters of AXA Insurance (Trento, 16 February 2026)

AXA = GENOCIDE

During the night between Sunday 15 and Monday 16 February, under cover of darkness, we damaged the headquarters of AXA Insurance in Trento.
AXA derives enormous profits from the ongoing genocide in the occupied territories of Palestine, as it directly invests more than €170 million each year in companies that produce weapons, a large portion of which also deal in white phosphorus and depleted uranium weapons. Essentially, it contributes to supplying weapons of mass destruction to an army of fanatical Zionist murderers led by an unscrupulous colonialist elite. What could possibly go wrong?
A month ago, we learned of the sentencing of our comrade Juan to five years in prison for a terrorist attack (280bis) against the POLGAI police academy in Brescia, a school that also trained the Zionist militias who are now applying to Palestinians what they learned in Italy. Just one day later, Anan Yaesh, a Palestinian partisan detained in Italy on Israeli orders, was sentenced to five years and six months, also for terrorism, on charges of organising the Tulkarem self-defence brigades, a Palestinian resistance group formed in the same refugee camp.
In a spiral of internal war that the state wages against the proletariat, even more so if they fight for freedom, our task remains to identify the enemy in our own house and act accordingly. Even more so when the racist and murderous ICE militia peeks into our “home”, welcomed with open arms by all those incompetents who hide behind the issue of remigration.
We also report the victory of the British group Palestine Action which, despite having around thirty members in prison on the usual charges of terrorism, managed, with more than 50 days of collective hunger strike, to terminate a deal worth more than a billion euros between the Israeli military giant Elbit and the British government. Various prisoners joined their hunger strike in solidarity, including our comrade Stecco, a prisoner of the state in Sanremo prison.

Freedom for Anan, Juan, Stecco and Palestine Action.
Freedom for Palestine and for all the oppressed people of the world.
Until next time, who knows…

Italy: Statements by Anna Beniamino, from Rebibbia prison, and Juan Sorroche, from Terni prison, and greetings from Action for Palestine Ireland on the occasion of the “Sabotage the War and Repression” initiatives on February 7 and 8 in Viterbo

Statements by Anna Beniamino, from Rebibbia prison, and Juan Sorroche, from Terni prison, and greetings from Action for Palestine Ireland on the occasion of the “Sabotage the War and Repression” initiatives on February 7 and 8 in Viterbo

Some contributions from inside and outside prisons for the initiatives
“Sabotage war and repression” on February 7 and 8 in Viterbo

On February 7, about 150 people took to the streets in Viterbo for a radical demonstration that showed how it is possible and necessary to link the issues of war and repression: with the resistance of the Palestinian people, against defeatism in Ukraine, against repression as an expression of war policies on the home front, against 41 bis as a war prison, and in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito. These issues were explored in greater depth the following day, again in the city of Viterbo, at a very rich militant conference. Here is the text announcing the two initiatives:
https://ilrovescio.info/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Sabotiamo-la-guerra-e-la-repressione-corretto-al-23.12.pdf

While waiting to publish further material as it becomes available, we are circulating letters from Anna and Juan from the prisons where they are being held as contributions to the conference on February 8. We are also publishing a greeting from Ireland, as partial testimony to the internationalist nature of the days of struggle and discussion on February 7 and 8.

Contribution by Anna Beniamino from section AS2 of the Rebibbia women’s prison (Rome) for the conference held on February 8 in Viterbo.

First of all, thank you for asking me to contribute to the conference on War and Repression. I will try, starting from the perspective that is, despite myself, clearer here: repression and the ‘local’ repercussions, in prisons, of global policies of war, economic austerity, and the militarization of society.
I am aware that there are no theoretical recipes or detailed, definitive analyses, but only a simple and solid certainty that any real, non-virtual struggle implies reaction and repression.
The problem is ‘only’ to take this into account, to be ready and not to be paralyzed by fear of it, to build solidarity and awareness of one’s own means and ends, with continuity and tenacity. Especially in these times when preventive repressive work is spreading across multiple levels, both covert and overt.
Starting in 2022, when Alfredo was transferred to 41 bis, I wrote several times about differentiated circuits and regimes as well as, long before that, inside and outside prison, about struggles and repression, in ordinary and “extraordinary” terms; I refer back to all this and to my latest notes for the Roman assembly against 41 bis.
Essentially, I believe that the discussion should be resumed… because it is never over, nor have the ethical assumptions that supported it fallen away, so as not to leave a well-established discussion unfinished, not to leave a comrade alone, not to waste an opportunity in which a single battle has shown how we can be together, “irredeemable” and positively recognizable outside the narrow area of the anarchist movement in its content, so as not to leave alone the comrades who are now facing the various trials connected with the mobilization, because credibility is also built on continuity and consistency, because the mask has been removed from one of the pillars of bipartisan rhetoric on “mafia and terrorism,” because the “fight against terrorism” is now a global smokescreen and the current context of militarized capitalism and blatant neocolonialism in the procurement of resources and the opening of trade routes lends itself well to the reception of an anti-authoritarian, anti-militarist message of solidarity among the oppressed.

Italy: “Operation City”, a crackdown on the mobilization against 41bis prison regime in Italy and in solidarity with anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2026/02/16 - 2026/02/16 by darknights

“Operation City”, a crackdown on the mobilization against 41bis prison regime in Italy and in solidarity with anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito

From October 2022 to April 2023, a strong solidarity movement accompanied the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito, an anarchist prisoner in 41-bis, the most afflictive prison regime in the Italian penitentiary system, a regime of extreme harshness and isolation, a tomb where one spends 22 hours in a cell, with hardly any possibility to communicate with the outside world (censorship on all communications and with only a one-hour visit per month with a family member or a ten-minute phone call, also a month).

Initiatives, demonstrations, direct actions have marked in Italy, and in many other parts of the globe, the steps of a heterogeneous movement that has grown to give strength to Alfredo’s protest. A protest which not only called for the transfer of Alfredo himself from the 41bis regime but also demanded the abolition of this legalized torture together with that of ostensive life imprisonment i.e., life sentences without the possibility of access to parole or benefits, with which the Italian State as of today condemns almost 1300 prisoners to die in prison.

A government that is strongly characterizing its policy on the tightening and embitterment of laws and sentences, obviously had no problem ignoring, and sometimes mystifying, that struggle that highlighted the State’s torturer’s true face and it certainly would not have given in, if Alfredo, after 6 months of struggle, had not interrupted his hunger strike. But the objectives of protest and mobilization remain on the table of causes worth fighting for. Obviously that same government, which probably would have left our comrade to die of hunger, did not delay in presenting the bill with investigations and trials in various territories and cities where the solidarity mobilizations of those months spread like wildfire.

Italy: Breaking the ice. Claim of responsibility for the incendiary sabotage of the railway line against the Olympic Games (Pesaro, 7 February 2026)

Breaking the ice. Claim of responsibility for the incendiary sabotage of the railway line against the Olympic Games (Pesaro, 7 February 2026)

BREAKING THE ICE

At dawn on 7 February, the railway line near Pesaro station (PU, Marche) was sabotaged.
This action aims to highlight the contradictions inherent in the “spectacle” of the Olympics, in this case the Milan Cortina 26 Winter Olympics. Among the various official partners of these games are companies such as Leonardo, Eni and Gruppo FS, which collaborate and speculate on wars and the devastation of the earth in the name of ferocious capitalist progress.
Combative solidarity with all workers who rebel against exploitation by their bosses, with peoples fighting for the liberation of their land, and with those who rise up against this society.
Freedom for all rebels in cages!

“Yet Another War of Extermination” – Letter by anarchist prisoner Luca ‘Stecco’ Dolce (Italy)

Posted on 2026/01/21 - 2026/01/22 by darknights

Now that the masses all over the world have expressed their solidarity with Gaza, I’d be curious to know how social scientist Elias Canetti(1) would describe his concept of the “masses” in such a technological, warmongering and at the same time, exterminating age as ours. He says that mass society exists in the mind of human beings before it materially expresses itself. If ancient societies chose certain social and economic forms of mere subsistence, it was because they deliberately chose not to use bureaucratic or authoritarian methods: they foresaw their dangers. Our ancestors, therefore, were perfect political animals, aware and active observers of the community’s social life.

So what are these squares and streets full of people today, if in our daily lives we go back to the riverbed of a life organized and imposed by others?

Now that the “truce” in Gaza is divulged and imposed with the stamp of the army boot and the mediatic hype on the Flotilla, now that they are silencing and dampening the surge against the massacre, how to transform it into an action going beyond the manifestation and expression of opinions? Power uses human emotions as a can opener; often, the former gives its best in its “delayed reaction” empathic emotion and during “emergencies”, and it coagulates in peaks of scorn. A humanity which is nevertheless still alive despite all the efforts to atomize it. Its more progressive components are proving united in the face of the evidence of an extermination. Over the reaction timing, we should reason at length. Unfortunately, we haven’t yet understood in depth how deceitful and blackmailing the tactics of the enemies of life are, to what extent do commodities and quiet living manage to recuperate the movements, even sincere ones, at least here in Europe. In order to be more incisive and longsighted they have to doggedly overcome exactly the traps scattered over the ground of the struggle, which have the precise function of making everyone go back to the wishy-washy pen of the democratic morals, to issues such as the use of liberating violence or not, to inaction. Let’s move from emotions to self-organizing and direct action. If the roads of freedom are hindered, revolutionary movements of the past teach us opacity and going underground.

PROIEZIONE DI “TO KILL A WAR MACHINE” SU PALESTINE ACTION
(CARRARA, 11 GENNAIO 2026)

Proiezione di To Kill a War Machine su Palestine Action
Domenica 11 gennaio 2026

Ore 18:00. Proiezione del documentario To Kill a War Machine (2025) sull’attività di Palestine Action contro l’industria bellica nel Regno Unito.

Il percorso di Palestine Action e lo sciopero della fame attualmente in corso nelle carceri britanniche da parte degli aderenti al collettivo Prisoners for Palestine ci interrogano sulle prospettive e i limiti delle forme di attivismo contemporanee. Mentre gli Stati si attrezzano per la guerra e le condizioni di sopravvivenza qui da noi si fanno sempre più difficili, non è più rimandabile lo sviluppo delle lotte antimilitariste in una prospettiva antiautoritaria e internazionalista.

A seguire aperitivo a buffet.

Italia: FUORI DAL VORTICE qualche parola su una nuova operazione repressiva a Genova

Posted on 2026/01/08 - 2026/01/08 by darknights

PDF: FUORI DAL VORTICE- operazione repressiva a genova

Il 5 maggio 2024 un partecipato ed energico corteo ha attraversato le vie del centro storico di Genova in solidarietà a 8 compagne e compagni arrestati fuori dallo spazio occupato Ex Latteria. Un corteo nato per rispondere a un intervento brutale in cui i carabinieri, con uno spropositato dispiegamento di forze, l’uso di teaser e spray urticanti, hanno compiuto l’ennesimo atto di superflua repressione in cui quotidianamente è possibile imbattersi se si abbandonano le vie patinate dello shopping e ci si spinge tra chi non è perfetta- mente assimilabile dal sistema, non è conforme o esprime dissenso.
La partecipazione incondizionata, la determinazione e la rabbia di quel corteo hanno provato a ribadire l’inconciliabilità con un presente opprimente e tutti gli apparati che lo sorreggono. Continue reading “Italia: FUORI DAL VORTICE qualche parola su una nuova operazione repressiva a Genova” →
