Schönerlinde/Wandlitz, Germany: Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

A circular economy of death and destruction

Faced with climate crisis, extractivist devastation, and imperialist aggression, a burning asphalt mixing plant owned by one of the world’s largest construction and infrastructure companies actually speaks for itself. Nevertheless, we would like to say a few words about our motives and the company that has been attacked. Because VINCI/EUROVIA is much more than just a producer of asphalt and concrete. This company embodies pretty much everything we despise and that makes this world a place full of oppression, suffering, and misery: highways, airports, dams, (deportation-) prisons, nuclear facilities, military equipment, oil and gas pipelines, mining, and much more…

Everyone who wants to know already knows – the biosphere is suffocating under the gray burden of civilization, and in the near future, many regions of the planet will be uninhabitable as a result of our imperial ways of life and economic practices. Battles over living areas and resources on an unseen scale seem unavoidable, and the current escalation of military conflicts and the relentless war against migrants on the streets of US cities or at the EU’s external borders are already grim signs of what this will look like. Since long we running out of time. The late capitalist world system is in the midst of profound upheaval, and war is becoming the new normal, while the remaining natural world serves only as a source of raw materials to be plundered before others do.

Companies such as VINCI are benefiting across the entire spectrum from these developments. By constructing nuclear reactors, oil pipelines, and gas terminals (such as the one in Brunsbüttel), the company understands how to secure the future of fossil fuel dinosaurs while simultaneously profiting from the illusion of green energy through huge wind farms and hydroelectric power plants. With its motorway and road network spanning several thousand kilometers and over 70 airports in 14 different countries, built and operated by VINCI, the company is also a major pillar of the global transport infrastructure, fueling, inch by inch, a parasitic system that knows only one direction – and that’s leading straight into ecological collapse. Land grabbing, wars, and genocide are inextricably woven into this system and have enabled the triumph of capitalism, whereby our “wealth” and Western dominance are undoubtedly a product of this deadly (colonial) history. However, in the international scramble for power, influence, and resources, that Western dominance must increasingly assert itself against other players, which leads once again to senseless bloodshed, while creating a good mood in the management suites of the arms industry. ReArm Europe is the battle cry from Brussels to prevail in this conflict, and VINCI is also playing a major role in this front of rearmament and militarization. Therefor the company recently acquired Wärtsilä SAM Electronics, which maintains several German Navy shipyards or provides infrastructure services for dozens of British Army facilities. Wars and environmental destruction, which have always gone hand in hand with the expansion of capitalist exploitation, are forcing more and more people to leave their homes, and never before have so many people been displaced worldwide as today. The „dispensable“ masses of people from the global south are being fought with all severity, and their escape routes have long since turned into mass graves with countless deaths. For those who nevertheless manage to make it all the way here, it is not empathy and compassion that await them, but humiliation, racism, and repression. All of these characteristics, which have shaped the public debate on migration in almost all political camps for years, and thus significantly promote (neo-)fascist tendencies. And here comes full circle. Because even the suffering of refugees can be exploited for profit, and VINCI benefits from the construction of deportation centers and border controls under Europe’s rigorous border regime.

Athens, Greece: ‘In the Footsteps of the Struggle: Lambros Fountas Present’ Text by anarchist prisoners Marianna Manoura & Dimitra Zarafeta

Posted on 2026/03/15 - 2026/03/15 by darknights

In the Footsteps of the Struggle: Lambros Fountas

On March 10, 16 years ago, Lambros Fountas, a member of the Revolutionary Struggle organization, was shot dead by cops. The murder of our anarchist comrade took place during a preparatory action by the organization in Dafni, during an armed clash with police forces.

From its very first days, the anarchist movement has defended and continues to defend the memory and the substance of the actions of the armed fighter Lambros Fountas through marches, events, and actions. The very organization of which he was a member carried out an attack on the Bank of Greece in 2014, dedicating it to the fallen comrade and claiming responsibility under the signature “ Commando Lambros Fountas,” thereby paying tribute to the revolutionary.

As a member of the armed revolutionary organization Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas chose to act through armed proletarian resistance at a time when the social base was being battered by austerity measures. Measures imposed by the local and international elite to prevent the collapse of the European banking system. And while politicians and media moguls present the memoranda and agreements as “measures of salvation,” we experienced them as cuts to wages and pensions, as a present of destitution and an uncertain future.

The Revolutionary Struggle organization fought against these conditions by targeting the economically powerful and vigorously opposing the measures of the memoranda. It chose to create conditions of political instability, making it harder to bleed the social base dry, leaving behind a great legacy for the international and domestic revolutionary movement. Through actions against predatory “institutions” —the Bank of Greece, Citibank, etc.—, the stock exchange, and the uniformed murderers of the MAT, he defended the armed social revolution, writing new chapters in the book of revolutionary history.

And while I may never have met comrade Lambros Fountas, never gotten to know him, never fought side by side with him. But the thread of revolutionary memory bridges precisely this: fighters, movements, and struggles that, while unfolding in different corners of the globe and across different times and places, shared a common struggle and vision for liberation. Thus, the preservation of revolutionary memory is anything but a neutral process. It is a thorn in the side of oblivion and a crack in the history of the ruling classes. That is why securing it is part of our very struggle, part of the present and the future. That is why, even though the past was stained with blood, our dead managed to fill the inkwell of revolutionary history. And even if we did not walk beside them, we walked alongside them. And even if we did not choose the same path, we gazed at the same skies. Because we shared the same dreams and hopes, we experienced similar fears and rage. Thus, their struggle, the way they acted, and the way they fell serve as a call to arms, a starting point, and a catalyst for new cycles of resistance. And as long as we keep the revolutionary memory alive, we keep our history alive as well. A history built on the smiles and comradely glances of our own people, our own friends, and our own comrades. Just as our comrade Kyriakos Xymiteris did, who fell in battle nearly a year and a half ago on October 31, 2024, in the explosion in Ambelokipi. A comrade who envisioned a world of equality and freedom. A just world, built upon the ruins of the old one.

So, for Lambros Fountas, Kyriakos Xymiteris, and all the other fighters who saw themselves as part of revolutionary history and threw themselves into the fray, it is now our turn to turn their loss into a rallying cry. Let us live up to our history and our responsibilities, and let us see their deaths as a motivation to continue the struggle.

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for incendiary attacks on cops’ houses by Anarchist Cell ‘Lambros Fountas’

Posted on 2026/03/15 by darknights

We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.

The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident: we are striking back at those who trample on our dreams. To those who rape people at police stations, to those who mercilessly beat up migrants, to those who protect crooks like the “illustrious” Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, such as the one on 10/31 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. There must be no truce with those who suppress our lives.

We speak the language of social and class liberation, the language of political resistance as a counterpoint to the language of state terrorism, discipline, ruthless exploitation, moral decay, and the dead end of capitalist individualism. We defend direct action and the targeting of those who rule over us and shamelessly contribute to the shaping of this war-torn reality; from the mass media that manufacture fragmented consciousnesses steeped in alienation, bourgeois justice that blindly serves the interests of the economic and political elite, the sweatshops of wage slavery that reek of death, and even the scum of the Greek police with their boundless authoritarian arrogance.

In this current era of fragmentation within social movements, the weakening of the anarchist movement, and widespread apathy and defeatism, we must preserve our political principles intact, make direct confrontation with the enemy our foremost priority until fear changes sides, and externalize our vision for a world of equality, solidarity, freedom, and selflessness.

$hile: Interview with anarchist prisoner Francisco Solar

Posted on 2026/03/09 by darknights

In this fourth interview, we engaged in a dialogue with our anarchist comrade Francisco Solar, acting as a bridge to spread his words and delve deeper into various topics and contexts of interest. His perspective and participation in grassroots projects are vitally important, as they break with the inaction that prison seeks to impose. Throughout this conversation, we address not only aspects related to his personal experience in prison, but also broader political reflections on the ongoing struggles and challenges facing anarchist circles.

1.- How are you doing now? Could you tell us a little about your experience in La Gonzalina prison? What differences do you see between the prison systems in Europe and Chile?

Almost a year ago, I left the maximum security wing where I had spent almost five years and moved to a high security wing with a normal regime, which basically means eight hours of yard time and the possibility of conjugal visits.

Based on the above, my situation is clearly more favorable, as I am not subject to the restrictions of a maximum security regime. However, sharing my daily life with fellow anarchists and subversives who were already in this unit makes prison life much more bearable. Escaping at times from the harmful authoritarian dynamics that exist among prisoners and trying to practice relationships that are contrary to these is a constant challenge and struggle that involves constant questioning. It is clear that we are not an island within this unit; we deal with contradictions and obviously sometimes reproduce behaviors that we say we reject. However, our dynamics, those of the anarchist and subversive prisoners, are different from those of the rest of the prisoners. Our relationships are not based on the stark authoritarianism of the other prisoners, and that is evident.

My daily routine consists of playing sports in the yard, talking and walking with my compañeros, and reading. As I have pointed out in other writings, it is important to have a daily routine, which, at least in my case, allows me to maintain a certain mental clarity and avoid falling into prison despair.

The differences between the Chilean prison system and that of Spain lie mainly in control. The Spanish prison system has managed to discipline life inside prisons through constant and prolonged adjustments to its control strategies. Through the FIES (Ficheros de Internos de Especial Seguimiento, Special Investigation and Security Unit) and dispersion, the Prison Service has pacified Spanish prisons, even managing to turn prisoners into their own jailers, as can be seen in the increasingly numerous “respect modules.”

Although the Chilean prison system is moving towards exercising control in the “Spanish” (or European) manner, the truth is that it is still a long way from achieving this. The control mechanisms are much more precarious and ineffective, which leads, among other things, to the establishment of certain “rules” imposed by the prisoners themselves within prison life. These rules are based on extreme authoritarianism that produces and reproduces relationships of outright slavery among the prisoners themselves. If solidarity was once present in these dynamics, today such relationships have been virtually relegated to make way for ostentation and the aforementioned authoritarianism that makes prison life a hostile environment.

Athens, Greece: Intervention at the offices of “Efimerida ton Syntakton” (EFSYN)

Posted on 2026/02/22 by darknights

This text was published in the course of an intervention at EFSYN in Athens, Greece and translated by the Berlin Assembly in memory of Kyriakos Xymitiris and in solidarity with the persecuted in the Ambelokipi-case.


We are intervening at EFSYN’ in order to publicize the following texts. This intervention follows our presence and the distribution of these texts in the area of Ampelokipi and on Arkadias Street in order to show our solidarity with the residents of the apartment building.

At the same time, we went to the spot where our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life.

 

TEXT FOR THE APARTMENT BUILDING ON ARKADIAS STREET

On 31/10/24, my comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and I were in the apartment at 4-8 Arkadias Street. During the processing of explosive materials, an explosion occurred that took the life of my 36-year-old comrade, caused my own very serious injury, and resulted in damage to the apartment building. Since then, I have been detained in Korydallos women’s prison under horrendous conditions, having to confront the loss of the person closest to me, my own injury, and very serious accusations.

This explosion obviously was not part of any plan, nor did it happen due to carelessness. This tragic development was the consequence of defective material, something that unfortunately could not be foreseen.

The anarchist political space to which we both belong fights for a world of equality, solidarity, and self-organization. For a world where monthly survival does not cause anxiety, where interpersonal relationships are not based on competition, and where a life in dignity is not a matter of luck. And when this anarchist political space chooses to attack those who impose poverty, exclusion, and insecurity with such means, it takes all necessary measures, often putting the acting subjects themselves at risk, in order to ensure the safety of unrelated people.

Beyond protecting people’s physical integrity, our political spectrum targets those who oppress and exploit us. It sets its sights on the powerful of this world. Those who eat with golden spoons while we make do with the absolute necessities, those who live off rents while we beg that there not be yet another increase, those who reap profit while we work twelve-hour a day. Those who spread death through wars, misery through high prices, fear through racism, extermination through long and uninsured labor. Those who impose uncertainty, insecurity, danger even when you simply take the night train to Thessaloniki or try to cross the border for a life with dignity.

We struggle so that all of this does not remain unanswered. To win back the right to live. To put a stop to injustice, exploitation, oppression, cover-ups. Within this struggle we risk much, we are targeted, we receive violence and repression, we endanger our safety, our freedom, and sometimes even our lives. Not because we are indifferent to life, but because we care about the life of our struggle and then we feel responsible for many people. Thus, we consciously set social solidarity as a priority.

My comrade adopted this stance in life, and that is why he decided to struggle with all means. And if he was still here, he would be the first to try to help the residents of the apartment building, not because he would regret the means he chose to struggle with, but because for him, as for all of us, solidarity and mutual aid are a deeply human feeling, a driving force that pushes us to action.

“We are not terrorists, nor criminals. It is precisely because of our love for life, because we rejoice in the human spirit, that we became fighters for freedom against this racist and deadly imperialist system.”

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for coordinated attack in Ano Patissia

Posted on 2026/02/16 by darknights

The daily grind of medieval working conditions, class humiliation and extermination of the proletariat, employer impunity and terrorism, austerity measures that strangle the social base, torture in the hellhole police stations, the hundreds of murders at the borders of Fortress Europe, the destitution in detention centers, the permanent panoptic surveillance and mapping of every movement, the upgrading of repression and the legal arsenal of the state, demands the intensification of social resistance, the breaking of the omnipotence of the state through the spread of polymorphous aggressive actions of social violence directed against this insatiable system that annihilates human life and treats us as expendable, as numbers.

Even more so when this daily routine is stained with the blood of people from our class, with state-capitalist murders committed in the name of profit and greed, as was recently the case with the mass murder of workers at the “Violanta” in Trikala, where five female workers were buried under tons of rubble after an explosion caused by a propane leak, as well as the murder of 15 migrants by port police off the coast of Chios during a violent push-back.

Similarly, the anarchist urban guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris, who was killed prematurely while handling explosives in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ambelokipi, on October 31, 2024, chose to arm himself to fight “this rotten world that feeds on its own flesh,” chose to hold fast to the thread of revolutionary history and devote himself entirely to the Revolutionary Struggle, against complacency and compromise, with steely determination, humility, and optimism.

We, in turn, on the evening of Sunday, 1st February, carried out a raid on targets on Patission Street in Ano Patissia, striking and causing material damage to the windows and ATMs of three banks (Eurobank, Alpha Bank, and Optima Bank), as well as the window of Nova Bank. We dedicate this action to our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and to our persecuted comrades in the Ampelokipi case, who have been imprisoned for 15 months. We call for the spread and multiplication of aggressive actions, in view of the upcoming trial for the case.

PS. Solidarity and strength to the comrades in Thessaloniki who have recently been targeted by increased state repression and police arbitrariness, the latest example being the unprecedented number of detentions (over 300) from a concert at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki following attacks on police forces that took place outside the venue.

Athens, Greece: Attack on Kypseli Police Station – Claim of responsibility and video

Posted on 2025/12/14 - 2025/12/14 by darknights
https://darknights.noblogs.org/files/2025/12/video-at-s.mp4

Justice is resistance

On the afternoon of December 7, 2025, we attacked the torture chamber of the Kypseli Police Station on Thiras Street.

The cowards of the police station, so “brave” towards chained people, so “courageous” in sweeping migrants in Amerikis Square, realistically assessed their situation and locked themselves inside. It took them five whole minutes to come out…

Seventeen years and one day after December, we struck at the heart of Athens, in a center that they have turned into a fortress. Seventeen years in which violence, torture, and murders have not stopped for a moment. Seventeen years later, the same murderers with different faces. Sampanis, Fragoulis, Zackie, Lambros Fountas, Kamran, Maggos…

The combatants who go on the counterattack, who respond to the blows of the state, are neither superhuman nor unaware of the danger. They are your colleague at work, your fellow student in the next seat, the neighbor you greeted yesterday. You may have seen them yelling at their boss during some shitty season, demanding lower rent and humane neighborhoods, fighting against femicide, against the cops who murder. You’ve probably been caught up in a strike at some point. These are the people who, when enraged by injustice and violence, turn their anger into determination and a plan. They lay out maps, plot routes, and look for cameras. They fill bottles with gasoline, approach calmly, and set fire to police stations. This is how December 2008 was born, and November 1973 before it. With stubbornness and organization. With collective struggle against injustice.

Our attack was a direct response to the crescendo of police violence during the march on December 6, 17 years after the murder of student Alexandros Grigoropoulos by cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis.

“[…] At the end of the afternoon protest, at around 8:05 p.m., a group of approximately 400 individuals, carrying sticks and anti-gas masks, violently attacked riot police squads at the intersection of Panepistimiou and Emmanouil Benaki streets. […] ”

This was announced by the police and reproduced without a trace of skepticism by 90% of the media, from the center-left (news247.gr) to the far-right (Proto Thema). So what if dozens of videos show exactly the opposite, namely the violent attack by riot police on the march, the chemical warfare, the brutal beating of even protesters who had already been arrested.

To the media: Reproducing the police’s announcements verbatim in the current climate and circumstances is not simply poor journalism. It is a conscious choice to support and be complicit in barbarism. Every era has its Nuremberg, and every Nuremberg has its Streicher.

The police’s decision to ban the December 6 march, with heavy injuries and arrests, did not come as a bolt from the blue. It is a path that began with the pandemic and the handling of demonstrations at that time, culminating in the dissolution, under extreme conditions, of the march in memory of anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris.

The wind is changing, the signs are warning of a storm

We could be tempted to see this intensification of repression as typical right-wing state management. It would not be difficult. Even before its current complete dismantling, the crippled Hellenic Republic was not renowned for its “robust institutional checks and balances” or its “healthy democratic institutions.” The Greek regime is perfectly suited to a capitalist formation where the upper echelons are made up of smuggling shipowners and the mafia, while the lower echelons are staffed by anti-Lombard figures such as Frapes, Magierias, and Semertzidou.

However, the political and economic crisis is permeating the “liberal” West vertically and horizontally.

In the US, France, Germany, and the UK, governments change but policies remain the same. Profits for the few, poverty for the many, support for genocide in Palestine at any cost. Hand in hand with poverty goes the violence of the bosses, the violence of the police. The post-WWII redistributive model is dead, the possibility of exporting internal contradictions to the Third World has been limited. The capitalist “flight forward,” the future they are preparing for us is to go and fight—in truth, to die—for our country.

We must confront this darkness, politically and practically, because if the enemy wins, there will be no safe rear. Along with our stubbornness and will to fight, we must reintroduce organization, strategy, and tactics into our vocabulary. We must strike at the bosses and their henchmen, protect social/class struggles from repression.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary barrage by ‘Incendiary Anarchist Nous’

Posted on 2025/12/12 by darknights

The new global economic crisis is approaching

The new economic crash in the West is closer than they would have us believe. Western imperialist states are trying to redivide the earth and drain economically weak states of raw materials, labor, and anything else that can bring them profit. However, in countries that are not in the West, they must also contend with indigenous forces that either resist for their land, such as Palestine, or are ruled by theocratic regimes that they themselves had installed there to avoid the “communist threat.” The imperialist states of the East, Russia and China, are also entering the game, trying to emerge victorious from the coming crash. Intra-imperialist rivalries once again fall on the backs of the peoples of the earth with devastating results.

The Palestinian struggle

The Palestinians, with their struggle, like a modern Vietnam, show us the way and the necessity to fight wherever we are. Since October 2023, the Palestinians have been rebelling against the Zionist fascists, the American imperialists, and Western capital. All of them aim to rebuild the whole of Gaza and turn it into a tourist resort. The vultures (construction and real estate companies) have started selling off pieces of land in Palestine. The recent ceasefire agreement and the joke with Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize are not enough to stop what is happening in Palestine. What is happening is genocide, occupation, and the uprooting of an entire people, justified by the most ridiculous arguments.

There is nothing more despicable than using one of the darkest chapters in human history to justify genocide. Anyone who does so must be met with fierce anger and overwhelming force.

The puppet of the fascist state of America and Western capital is trying to convince us that he will resolve every conflict by telling blatant lies repeatedly in public (such as Armenia-Azerbaijan). At the same time, he is sending the army onto the streets to maintain order within his country and to deport all immigrants within America to private prisons in Ecuador. The so-called “democracy” of the United States could be better described as a junta and a military dictatorship.

GREECE—an accomplice state

The Greek state is an accomplice to the genocide of the Palestinians. As such, it should be treated and punished accordingly. As a member of NATO, an ally of the United States, albeit of negligible value, and a member of the tripartite family alliance of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel. It has surrendered land and water to the needs of Israel and the United States. The base in Larissa is used openly, and the base in Souda became the starting point for the war against the Houthis and the American bombing of Iran. At the same time that an arrest warrant is being issued for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Netanyahu, one of the best and biggest lackeys (OUR GREECE!) is covering for him and protecting him in the most vulgar way. Appealing to sentiment, government scum talk about the persecution of Jews. At the same time, they are increasingly strengthening the economy of the Zionist state by signing investment and agreements. It is no coincidence that the ELVO railway industry has been bought out or that thousands of Israeli funds have flooded the metropolises.

Anyone who does not oppose their country’s participation in an imperialist war has no right to complain about any reprisals. Continue reading “Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary barrage by ‘Incendiary Anarchist Nous’” →

Athens, Greece: Claim for the commando attack on the OPKE team at Strefi Hill in Exarcheia on 1/11/2025

<<MIND THE STAIRS>>

A year and a day after comrade and armed anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was killed in an apartment on Arcadia Street, following a premature bomb explosion, he was destined to remind everyone that social peace is nothing more than empty words in an empty space.

Along with the explosion, a promise was made. That the comrade would not be forgotten. The comrade has not been forgotten. His name became a slogan on the lips of thousands. Then it adorned walls, was written in texts and was the subject of events. However, it was not long before this name became a signature. The name of the fallen anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos ceased to belong exclusively to him. Conspirators met and nuclei were formed with his name. Commandos slipped away in the night and in the shadows in order to give light and noise to the quiet monotony of the metropolis. Going along this path, we decided to carry out a raid on the cops who have taken up camp on Strefi Hill.

We struck in broad daylight, reminding the uniformed bastards that they will never be in peace amid us even for a moment. In recent years, there has been an effort to turn the Exarcheia neighbourhood into a well-guarded alternative resort, where tourists enjoy the aesthetics of the “subculture” and the unconventional character of the neighbourhood without actually contributing in the slightest to the Cause and the goals for which we are fighting. Seeing what is happening before our eyes, we choose not to stand by as observers. We choose direct action, militantly defending our projects and ideas in the here and now. The Exarcheia you dream of will turn into your worst nightmares.

PS: We were saddened about the absence of the riot police as we really wanted to see them running after what happened the previous night, during the memorial march and more generally in the neighbourhood. On the other hand, their colleagues from the OPKE (Special Police Teams for Crime Prevention and Suppression) team proved to be satisfactorily efficient in the game of hide and seek.

PS2: We also dedicate this action to comrade Christos Spilios, who died recently, but will always be in our struggles.

HONOUR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST GUERRILLA KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS.
