Luciano Balboa (Lupi) – Dark Nights

$hile: Words from the comrades imprisoned in the Susaron Case in memory of Lupi, Tortuga, and Belén during Black August.

Posted on 2025/09/09 by darknights

As prisoners known to be opposed to order, we feel it is our duty to send our love and fond memories to three individuals who are no longer with us on this earthly plane, and to their loved ones: Tortuga, Lupi, and Belén.

We were fortunate to have known all three of them.

Tortuga, in countless days of insurrectionary expansion of the anarchist seed, giving precious moments of propaganda, music, and questioning.

Belén, in the heat of the same struggle and direct action. We all knew how she bravely and fiercely put her words into practice, and she was always greatly respected for it.

And Lupi, when we went to welcome him with our comrades from Carreta Anárquica in Santiago 1, when he was imprisoned. We tried to give him a warm and supportive welcome: bringing him delicious food and warm clothes, laughing for a while in the face of misfortune. Seeing firsthand how, despite the nervousness and fear that comes with entering prison for the first time, he maintained a stoic and proud consistency in his words and actions. We met him in prison and will never forget his innocent and beautiful energy, the light he carried above his head despite the dire circumstances.

For all of them, honor, fire, gunpowder, and flames! To remember them without these elements would be disrespectful.

Let’s bring theory into conflict: let ideas set fires.

In our colorful and dangerous hearts live the comrades who are no longer with us physically. But we, the masterless, know that they walk beside us in danger and calm.

Fire to the existent, and may memory wreak havoc.

Anarcho-nihilist prisoners, vegan straight edge, Susaron case.

$hile: Political violence. Words from anarchist compañera Mónica Caballero

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

Political violence can be understood, from an anti-authoritarian perspective, as an aggressive response that seeks to break, attack, or fracture each of the components that make up domination.

This response could be limited to damaging the symbols of authority, thus leaving a powerful propaganda message, that is, one that manages to capture each of the motivations behind the action and, ideally, causes the violent response to be repeated or spread, or at least part of it.

As I said earlier, it is possible to attack symbolically, understanding that the current system of oppression can be seen represented in different elements or physical objects, or even in people.

For example, we have the case of Sante Caserio, who stabbed French President Sadi Carnot. From my perspective, he did this because the president represented political power, which at that time had led to the deaths of his comrades Ravachol, Vaillant, and Henry. His action sought to be a direct attack on those who publicly upheld power in the territory dominated by the French state in the 1890s. In addition to carrying out revenge, Sante wanted there to be no doubt about his motivations, which is clear in his cry: “Long live anarchy!” At the time of his arrest, as well as in his court statement.

Currently, we understand that the capitalist, heteropatriarchal system of domination is intertwined with complex social and cultural relationships, in addition to material structures and the people who sustain them. Consequently, and from an anarchist perspective, I have (and have held for several years now) the following questions:

How could a decisive qualitative leap be made that goes beyond attacking the symbolic? Is it really possible to “hit where it hurts” the capitalist system, in a world where relations of domination have reached a network of networks throughout the world?

The answers to these questions have changed as I have come to understand how domination has developed and persisted, and I have tried to act on these answers by shaping the many ways in which we can destroy everything that prevents the full development of each individual.

On the long road of how anti-authoritarian political violence is exercised, the successes and failures must necessarily be a collective learning experience for those of us who stand on the same side.

Among those of us who have found ourselves in anarchist/anti-authoritarian “action,” we constantly meet new comrades, just as we painfully say goodbye to many others.

Comrades Belén, Tortuga, Lupi, your memory lives on.

Health and Anarchy!

(Chile) Words from fellow anarchists Aldo and Lucas Hernández

For an August of black memory of struggle…

The absence they leave behind for their comrades must have an impact on the daily lives of those who knew them, those who exchanged more than a few words with them must miss them, and how could they not? Who is prepared for the death of a brother or sister? Even if we can put ourselves in the situation, the scenario, there is no certainty of being prepared. All feelings are personal and individual; what one feels inside must be experienced firsthand in order to speak of the loss.

We did not walk with you, we did not know you, but our comrades bear witness to your determined and resolute journey to face this reality.

These lines are to bring Luciano, Belén, and Lupi to mind, so that no comrade has to die in a distant memory, but rather be present in every moment that one decides to confront the establishment.

For Luciano, Lupi, Belén, Santiago Maldonado, Macarena Valdés, and so many others who died or were killed…

First week of a Black August.
Aldo and Lucas from “La Gonzalina” and “Santiago Uno.”

Santiago, Chile: Barricades in memory of the compañeros Lupi, Tortuga, Belén and Risue.

Posted on 2025/02/07 - 2025/02/10 by darknights

Received on 28/01/2024:

Encapuchados (hooded ones) raised barricades, while at the same time there were demonstrations for the forced disappearance of Julia Chuñil and her dog Cholito. Facts that should not leave anyone indifferent and that show us -once again- that the Power and its accomplices can carry out this type of acts against those who become a nuisance, a threat to their interests.

A banner was left at the site in memory of the recently deceased comrades Lupi, Tortuga, Belén and Risue.
