Berlin, Germany: You are the crisis – Episode 17: Police supplier Peugeot

Posted on 2023/05/05 by darknights

A series of attacks around the world on car dealerships and authorized dealers of certain vehicle brands in recent years opened up the suggestion of a strategic line: anyone who provides mobility and transportation for the police is treated as an enemy. In the police equipment market, a handful of corporations compete for the favor of state death squads.

We are facing them, on the side of the mass riots in the French state against the “pension reform”, in the hot neighborhoods of the banlieues where BAC and other units have been killing for decades, on the side of our comrades in Sainte-Soline, with the insurgents of the French colonies … , everywhere where with Peugeot the vehicles of one of the most important vehicle manufacturers of France are in use.

To give just a few examples, also in Greece we see the same enemies of freedom as helpers of the Greek police. Almost four hundred Peugeot 308 were handed over as new patrol cars. With tinted windows “to transport delinquents inconspicuously”, the group advertises its product.

Peugeot Deutschland GmbH supplies the Saarland police with everything the technocratic brain desires, 120 patrols, 80 undercover investigation vehicles, vans …

On the night of April 21, we burned twenty-five vehicles on the premises of the Peugeot dealership on Landsberger Allee in Berlin-Marzahn. Among them fancy electric SUVs and several vans (presumably leased vehicles) of the security company ISS. ISS is not only involved in the operation of jails but also through a share in the company UNISON in the destruction and privatization of parks in Athens.

UK: Two statements from anarchist prisoner Toby Shone

Posted on 2022/05/02 by darknights

First of May 2022

01/05/22

As a minimal gesture I refuse to eat from the prison servery to mark the Revolutionary 1st of May, to join in the demonstrations around the world using my body as a means of solidarity and to protest the denial of my correspondence by the security company G4S. I will not be isolated from my family, friends and comrades and I continue to define my anti-political convictions. Honour and dignity to all those who have fallen.

Remember Haymarket.

Statement for J11 International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

“We will have to go to sea and embark on a journey into the unknown. It is up to us to choose the course from the march. We are free to make mistakes.” Gustavo Rodriguez – ‘Brief Informative Report About The Weather’.

An embrace of life, fire and complicity to all imprisoned anarchist comrades for this June 11th. I have been invited to participate by the comrades in North America, for which they have my thanks and agreement. Whilst I am not condemned to a particularly long sentence, I faced well over a decade at my trial last October in “Operation Adream” and next week I will go to trial again in Bristol on the 6th of May. This time the “anti-terrorist” prosecutors demand up to five years house arrest and special surveillance, which could see me returning to prison frequently. It also has a precedent for the rest of the anarchist space in the UK if the State is successful. International mobilisations are essential for learning about and combining our shared struggles. Opening a space for discussion and praxis enables us to escape the walls and barbed wire which divides and isolates us. I’m locked up for 23 hours a day in a solitary cell, subject to enhanced monitoring and censorship, categorised as “high risk” and placed on the “escape list”. I could not care less. I will leave this place without stepping back one millimetre.

“One who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” – F. Nietzsche.

There are storms gathering on the horizon.

Putting the system of property in danger- Anarchist Block 1st of May demo 2022 Berlin. EN/DE

Posted on 2022/04/20 by darknights

„The coming change can only come through a revolution, because the possessing class will not allow a peaceful change to take place; still we are willing to work for peace at any price, except at the price of liberty.“
Lucy Parsons

„We are carrying a new world in our hearts, and this world is growing right now right here“
Durruti

„What the eye sees, the hand holds. The inflammable material of property explodes the flame of revolution“
Stirner

Very often we easily claim to be against capitalism, but we sometimes lack to truly think what capitalism means. Lost in the abstract fight against the insatiable beast, we forget how real it is.

For ages the arrogance of the rich and the people in power to proclaim exclusive domination upon our lives has been increasing. Controlling our time towards labour, they want to appropriate our emotions and social relations. Tiredness is no longer part of us, but the duty of our weekly hours. The same hour count that erases our desire for leisure time with friends and beloved ones. It is this duty that pushes our bodies and with them our first space of enunciation into the capitalist hands of the state and their servants. Connecting our lives into the most intimate weaving with property. Establishing the prison of binarism as an absolute truth and classifying some bodies and behaviors as more valuable than others.

Private property as we know it, the one we know in the capitalist system in which we were born and raised and which is therefore perceived almost as something „natural“, actually dates back a few centuries ago. It is only since the 17th century common ground that property is a fact of nature and an inviolable right of every citizen. Today, private property is considered in all countries a true sacred and natural right, absolute and inalienable, necessary and inviolable, worthy of being protected by the force of ideas and protected by the force of arms. Wealth has become an absolute good, and capitalism the best of all possible worlds. Continue reading “Putting the system of property in danger- Anarchist Block 1st of May demo 2022 Berlin. EN/DE” →

Montevideo, Uruguay: Llamado/Incitación para un 1ero de Mayo en las calles ES/EN

Posted on 2022/04/12 - 2022/04/12 by darknights

A medida que nos acercamos a esta fecha tan histórica y trascendental, a lo que la lucha revolucionaria representa, desde lxs anarquistas en Uruguay nace, surge y se cuestiona el posicionamiento del movimiento, tanto colectivo como individualmente. Sobre todo teniendo en cuenta y recordando la historia de lucha que lxs anarquistas han aportado al movimiento obrero y la lucha en general. Hoy en día la situación es diferente, no son los mismos tiempos, la sociedad, el estado y el capital sufrieron transformaciones; sin embargo hay cuestiones que no cambian…y hablamos, nada ni nada menos, que de vivir en base a la explotación, ya sea de la tierra o de los cuerpos la idea es la misma, exprimirnos hasta la ultima gota.

La vida en Uruguay no es ajena a esa explotación, el negocio inmobiliario, el turismo y el ¨campo¨ se llevan el podio (y toda la moneda) a la par que contribuyen a la precarización de la vida. Si a todo este cóctel le sumamos la tibieza de algunos sindicatos pertenecientes a la central obrera y los clásicos ¨teje y maneje¨ de la política empresarial de turno…el resultado es evidente: paz social – espejitos de colores y mucho humo. Podríamos estar rato largo evidenciando y contándoles lo ¨bonito¨ que se ve Uruguay desde afuera y la realidad de lo que nos toca vivir por estos lares, pero no es la idea de este llamado.

Escribimos esto para alentar e incitar a la acción en la calle!!! Para que no sea un 1ero de Mayo mas, sino uno bien pesado y encendido, ruidoso y revoltoso, que se note en las calles el descontento y la memoria de lxs compañerxs caídxs. Nuestra lucha no la marca el calendario pero las fechas nos recuerdan la importancia de la lucha, nos hace reflexionar sobre el pasado y el presente. Luchamos a diario por otro mundo…un mundo libre donde la injusticia, el hambre y la explotación no exista.

Lo que estas leyendo es una incitación a seguir conspirando, a juntarte con tus compas de laburo, con tus ñeris del barrio o del liceo y salir a la calle, las formas de agitar y la imaginación no tienen limites, la desobediencia es encantadora.

VIVA LA MEMORIA COMBATIVA DE ¨LOS MÁRTIRES DE CHICAGO¨

VIVA LA LUCHA REVOLUCIONARIA EN LAS CALLES!!
