ANTI-POLITICAL  ★  INDIVIDUAL REVOLT  ★  INFORMAL ORGANISATION  ★  ATTACK

London is a disneyland for the world’s dominators. The scientific and economic elites and their armies of technicians rule here unopposed – without having to fight against any idea which could challenge the foundations of this society. For this reason, they are free to use this city as a stable base to plan, launch, and profit from one-sided slaughters which subdue the lands where ‘critical resources’ are to be found, whether in Congo (cobalt), Yemen (Saudi oil fields) or Gaza and the West Bank (water and land).

But London is not spared from the relentless sacrifice of life to the economy. The bosses and their enforcers have us exactly where they want us: our time and life sucked dry in forced pointless activity called work and school, made sick by toxic materials in order to sustain addiction to useless objects. This city of exploitation and control is an endless ‘opportunity’ for anyone with money and power and an upgraded, high-tech hell for the rest of us.

The latest ‘upgrade’ here in south London is the proposal to expand the tube network of hyper-speed exploitation down the Old Kent Road to Lewisham – a dirty deal between TFL and finance capital which is already yielding luxury developments, springing up like a rash. Rent, energy, food-price hikes which sow desperation and abject dependence on charity… The oppression of passing the days in mouldy, pest-ridden, flood-prone, flammable boxes… Limitless police-state controls on the neighbourhoods… These are just a few of the attacks being deployed.

Not everyone wants to accommodate themselves, fit in, bow their heads, conform to all this. And among those who want to fight back, not everyone wants to put their trust in political parties, trade unions, pressure groups, activists, university career-critics, community leaders, official organisations, federations, large social movements.

Some make the choice of individual revolt which can spread. These ideas and acts of rebellion have nothing to say to those in power, but instead speak directly to raging hearts. Each one in struggle to unleash their own freedom, breathing life into a self-organised struggle for the freedom of all.

This is what we want to explore in the South London Anarchist Bookfair – with discussions and publications, delving into ideas which are outside of time, outside of measure and popularity, out of control. We want to share and explore our choices in the struggle against power in all its disguises, here and now.

Berlin, Germany: Claim for arson attack on Micro Resist Technology company, which specializes in the production of microchips

Posted on 2025/07/15 by darknights

Shutting down the heart of the megamachine – Fire of microchip production

Last night, we set fire to fuse boxes, supply cables and a ventilation system belonging to Micro Resist Technology on the grounds of the Wuhlheide Innovation Park. While Germany is once again unrestrainedly mobilizing for military strength and war capability with a turnaround, special funds and compulsory military service, we are targeting the heart of the technological mega-machine with our sabotage and, with microchip production, are also hitting one of the most sensitive points of civil-military cooperation. This attack is intended as a contribution to the protests against National Veterans Day next Sunday – fire and flame instead of glory and honor for militarism, soldiering and fatherland!

Tiny giants at the intersection of technology and war

The web of capitalist domination is tightening ever tighter around us. Technological progress is the engine that drives the destructive mega-machine and allows it to penetrate ever further into the most intimate areas of our existence. Inanimate objects made of plastic and metal, which, equipped with sensors, microphones, lenses, microchips etc., are increasingly becoming prostheses for social interaction, replacing genuine, empathetic relationships and causing our cognitive abilities to atrophy. At the same time, we are being tracked at every turn by social media, voice assistants, artificial intelligence, “smart” devices, facial recognition and many other surveillance tools, whereby everything we do is being increasingly incorporated into the capitalist value chain. Big data becomes big money. The implementation of such technologies in our everyday lives shapes our existence and the algorithmic calculations derived from them increasingly decide and determine our future. Once we have become accustomed to them, these mechanisms have such an all-encompassing effect that it is almost inconceivable for most people today to escape their digital grasp. For many, even the thought of it triggers anxiety. What remains is an army of slaves to the machine, dependent, controlled, externally determined and not even aware of this relationship.

However, this is only one side of the technological attack. Technology can and should not only manipulate our thoughts and actions, it should also kill. Almost all relevant technologies can be traced back to military research and development in order to gain advantages on the battlefield. Not only against hostile nations, but also in the social war against the exploited, superfluous and precarious of the population. From nuclear power to the internet, from cybernetics to artificial intelligence – our everyday lives are permeated by things that have a military logic at their core. In extreme cases, this can mean that apps that playfully accompany us through the day today feed and train the same machines on the basis of which an AI-controlled drone will determine and destroy its target tomorrow. A practice that is sometimes used by the Israeli military in particular through AI programs such as “Lavender” in their unleashed campaign of destruction against the Palestinian population of Gaza and with the friendly support of their Western accomplices. What seems like an episode from a dystopian science fiction movie is the gruesome reality of technological “achievements”, which are summarized under the term “dual-use” and are inherent in most technologies. Companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Siemens, Telekom and Tesla are just some of the best-known players operating at the interface between civil and military applications. Companies that produce highly specialized key technologies such as microchips/semiconductors, without which none of the modern technical devices would work, are far less well known. Smartphones, computers or cars just as little as tanks, guided missiles or war drones.

Düsseldorf, Germany: The “Angry Birds Commando” and the collapse…

Posted on 2025/02/03 - 2025/02/03 by darknights

[In Germany’s seventh-largest city, Düsseldorf, located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, the “Angry Birds Commando” is regularly in the news.

In August 2024, for example, it claimed responsibility for setting fire to railway signal cables in Mettmann, adding to its previous sabotage attacks on rail traffic: one in Düsseldorf in January 2024, and five others in the same city claimed in May 2023. And since the angry birds can also be generous, last September they published a little manual entitled “Setting fire to cables for beginners”, which contains a number of homemade retardant techniques.

But let’s move on to more recent news: on Thursday night, shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday January 24, a fire broke out in a cable shaft near Eller station, a district in the south-east of Düsseldorf, interrupting rail traffic on the city’s most important freight line, as well as passenger line S1 between Düsseldorf and Solingen. This time, while the Angry Birds Commando’s communiqué no. 3 was written in rhyme, the one published the following day on de.indymedia and entitled “Switch off Deutsche Bahn – Communiqué no. 4” is in the form of an Open Letter.

Below is a translation from the German of this text, which develops its own vision of collapse, as a contribution to the ongoing debates within the revolutionary movement. To put this statement from across the Rhine into context, it’s worth rereading the brochure “Switch off! Radical interventions against the destruction of the planet”.

On Friday morning (January 24), we used tried-and-tested methods to take Düsseldorf’s most important freight line out of service for at least 12 hours. For at least 24 hours, its use was only possible with severe restrictions. In addition to the immediate economic damage, we would like to draw your attention to the following appeal. We would also like to apologize to the travelers affected, and hope that at least one or other of the commuters was able to enjoy a day off in this way.

Dear fellow citizen,

We were lied to. We’ve been told that our leaders always act in our best interests. We were told that we lived in the best of societies. That we were the envy of the world. That nowhere had it ever been better. That the answer to every question was “technical progress!” and that the answer to all the problems that ensued was “even more!”. We’re supposed to believe that we can live without whales, beetles, bats, forests and clean water, but that without the state, the economy and the police, we couldn’t survive a week. We’ve been led to believe that Elon Musk and his gang will build us a paradise on Mars and download our consciousness into the cloud, but that a life without smartphones and cars is utopian, that economic change is even impossible.
And we were told that everything would be fine if we did our jobs well, voted, and let the politicians do their jobs.

Let’s look at ourselves: sick, cowardly and lazy, we stare at our screens wondering what went wrong. Under the blows of constant propaganda, too dumb and confused to recognize genocide as such, it’s no wonder they can even sell us natural gas, fighter jets and solar power as sustainable. Cancer, diabetes, bad posture, severe depression and many others are no longer exceptional these days, even among the young. We drag ourselves into minimum-wage jobs where we’re treated like sub-humans. We’re then allowed to do things that don’t really make sense to us. But maybe things will get better with the next vacation. Or the new television. Or retirement. Or simply when the next beer has been drunk.

To Produce or Not to Produce – Kevin Tucker

Posted on 2024/11/22 - 2024/11/22 by darknights

To Produce or Not to Produce
Class, Modernity and Identity

Class is a social relationship. Stripped to its base, it is about economics. It’s about being a producer, distributor or an owner of the means and fruits of production. No matter what category any person is, it’s about identity. Who do you identify with? Or better yet, what do you identify with? Every one of us can be put into any number of socio-economic categories. But that isn’t the question. Is your job your identity? Is your economical niche?

Let’s take a step back. What are economics? My dictionary defines it as: “the science of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.” Fair enough. Economies do exist. In any society where there is unequal access to the necessities of life, where people are dependent upon one another (and more importantly, institutions) there is economy. The goal of revolutionaries and reformists has almost always been about reorganizing the economy. Wealth must be redistributed. Capitalist, communist, socialist, syndicalist, what have you, it’s all about economics. Why? Because production has been naturalized, science can always distinguish economy, and work is just a necessary evil. It’s back to the fall from Eden where Adam was punished to till the soil for disobeying god. It’s the Protestant work ethic and warnings of the sin of ‘idle hands’. Work becomes the basis for humanity. That’s the inherent message of economics. Labor “is the prime basic condition for all human existence, and this to such an extent that, in a sense, we have to say that labor created man himself.” That’s not Adam Smith or God talking (at least this time), that’s Frederick Engels. But something’s very wrong here. What about the Others beyond the walls of Eden? What about the savages who farmers and conquistadors (for all they can be separated) could only see as lazy for not working?

Are economics universal? Let’s look back at our definition. The crux of economy is production. So if production is not universal, then economy cannot be. We’re in luck, it’s not. The savage Others beyond the walls of Eden, the walls of Babylon, and the gardens: nomadic gatherer/hunters, produced nothing. A hunter does not produce wild animals. A gatherer does not produce wild plants. They simply hunt and gather. Their existence is give and take, but this is ecology, not economy. Every one in a nomadic gatherer/hunter society is capable of getting what they need on their own. That they don’t is a matter of mutual aid and social cohesiveness, not force. If they don’t like their situation, they change it. They are capable of this and encouraged to do so. Their form of exchange is anti-economy: generalized reciprocity. This means simply that people give anything to anyone whenever. There are no records, no tabs, no tax and no running system of measurement or worth. Share with others and they share in return. These societies are intrinsically anti-production, anti-wealth, anti-power, anti-economics. They are simply egalitarian to the core: organic, primal anarchy.

But that doesn’t tell how we became economic people. How work became identity. Looking at the origins of civilization does. Civilization is based off production. The first instance of production is surplus production. Nomadic gatherer/hunters got what they needed when they needed it. They ate animals, insects, and plants. When a number of gatherer/hunters settled, they still hunted animals and gathered plants, but not to eat. At least not immediately.

In Mesopotamia, the cradle of our now global civilization, vast fields of wild grains could be harvested. Grain, unlike meat and most wild plants, can be stored without any intensive technology. It was put in huge granaries. But grain is harvested seasonally. As populations expand, they become dependent upon granaries rather than what is freely available. Enter distribution. The granaries were owned by elites or family elders who were in charge of rationing and distributing to the people who filled their lot. Dependency means compromise: that’s the central element of domestication. Grain must be stored. Granary owners store and ration the grain in exchange for increased social status. Social status means coercive power. This is how the State arose.

In other areas, such as what is now the northwest coast of the United States into Canada, store houses were filled with dried fish rather than grain. Kingdoms and intense chiefdoms were established. The subjects of the arising power were those who filled the storehouses. This should sound familiar. Expansive trade networks were formed and the domestication of plants and then animals followed the expansion of populations. The need for more grain turned gatherers into farmers. The farmers would need more land and wars were waged. Soldiers were conscripted. Slaves were captured. Nomadic gatherer/hunters and horticulturalists were pushed away and killed.

Pisa, Italy: Claiming responsibility for the incendiary attack on the fiber optic (2 June 2024)

Posted on 2024/07/09 by darknights

Under the cloak of darkness between the 1st and 2nd of June, we ignited a fire within a fiber optic cabinet situated in the Fontina vicinity of Pisa using rags and combustible material. Our selection of the site was deliberate, as it stands within an industrial zone in close proximity to a Carrefour hypermarket, a robotics laboratory affiliated with the Sant’Anna Institute, and the Banco di Pisa. In the tapestry of our everyday existence, the intertwining of dominance and warfare with technological advancement becomes all too evident, exemplified by the calculated decimation of the Gaza populace. Despite attempts by the media to diminish our actions by attributing the incident to mere malfunction, they reluctantly acknowledged the extensive time required for repairs. It is our intention that our actions have disrupted the operations of the aforementioned establishments, along with puncturing the veneer of celebration surrounding this hypocritical repubic.

About the Switch Off! attack campaign

Posted on 2024/01/22 - 2024/01/22 by darknights

A year ago in Europe a campaign of attack against companies and infrastructures that feed the ecological catastrophe around the world, entitled Switch Off! was launched. Large and small actions have positioned themselves in offensive from the concern and need to confront an evident eco-systemic collapse provoked by the global capitalist machinery that destroys everything in its path.

The intention of the campaign is to “attack the system in a sustainable way”, placing direct action in a common context through anonymous communication with each other, inviting to arm themselves with their own means and go on the offensive against the productive infrastructure and with it the property, without falling into false discursive, institutional and/or technological illusions, “making it clear that there can be no green capitalist alternative, nor peace with the existing conditions”.

In a first statement of presentation we can see more precisely what is the background and objective of why to invite the use of the slogan “Switch Off!”:

Switch off – a call to revolt

(DN Note: We make our own translation into English from the original German text.)

The certainty that the current system will lead to the collapse of the massively damaged ecosystem has already moved countless people and driven them into resistance. Tens of thousands are taking to the streets against the capitalist machinery’s “business as usual”, people are resisting the destructive large-scale projects en masse, the system’s infrastructure is being blocked and courageous fighters are setting fire to the machines that are robbing them of their livelihoods.

What we need in the struggle against the destruction of nature and the resulting social misery is the common striving for the real revolutionary break and the freedom of all. For an initiative that rejects all compromises and cosmetic corrections of the state and brings about a transformation of our social relations.

Because the destruction of the planet by the neoliberal economic system is inextricably linked to patriarchal thought patterns, racism and colonialism. The initiative for this must necessarily come from below. From the struggles of the marginalized. From the struggles of those who oppose the state’s promise of salvation with a self-organized, solidary coexistence. From the struggles of those who see that there can be no compromise in the fight against the systemic destruction of the biosphere.

We should also be aware that we cannot completely prevent the gradual collapse of a massively damaged ecosystem. Not the loss of biodiversity. Not the depletion of resources. We will not be able to prevent the climate catastrophe, as we are already in the midst of it. Admitting this – without any doomsday pathos – does not paralyze us. On the contrary: it should open up the question for us and our contexts of what our lives and our revolutionary struggles could look like in the future.

We can hardly block and sabotage as radically and uncompromisingly as the climate change caused by capitalism requires. But we should not be discouraged by this. Let us question, sabotage and sustainably attack the infrastructure of capitalism in the fight against exploitation. So that another world becomes possible! Let us cooperate with each other in solidarity so that we can live a dignified life. Let us realize our ideas in the here and now and already within our struggles and actions. We will not be lulled into complacency by the attempts at appeasement by those in power.

Against their technological solutions

The solutions offered by those in power for the now noticeable effects of the ecological crisis are primarily technological. This is obviously also driven by lobbying, but above all it is a strategy to legitimize themselves. The development, control and application of the “technologies of the future”, which are supposed to make growth capitalism “sustainable”, are in the hands of the state, industry and science and are inextricably linked to them. If we are being sold the illusion that climate change can be stopped technologically, then this is based on the belief that those in power only need to take the right steps, the right measures, to save this world.
 For one thing, they have absolutely no interest in ending the expansionist capitalism that secures their position of power. And for another, technological reform, with the new dependencies it produces, is also doomed to failure. Examples of this could be e-mobility or technologies for the production of so-called renewable energies. The required raw materials are often procured in the course of neo-colonial environmental exploitation. The transportation of these raw materials and components is in turn highly dependent on fossil fuels. As a result, a conversion of the current industry to renewable energies before the global oil reserves dry up is unthinkable anyway. Continue reading “About the Switch Off! attack campaign” →

France: All fire, all flame. Interviews with former members of the Revolutionary Cells (RZ) Germany, 1973-1993 FR/EN

Tout feu, tout flamme
Entretiens sur la résistance armée avec des anciens des Cellules Révolutionnaires (RZ)
Allemagne, 1973-1993

En 1973, deux attentats à la bombe contre une multinationale des télécommunications en République Fédérale d’Allemagne marquent les débuts de ce qui allait devenir les Revolutionäre Zellen (RZ, « Cellules Révolutionnaires »). Inspirées par les mouvements de libération armés dans le dit tiers-monde et portées par l’agitation subversive qui secoue les métropoles occidentales, les RZ réalisent des dizaines d’attaques, ciblant plus particulièrement le complexe militaro-industriel. Au début des années 1980, elles définissent un angle plus social-révolutionnaire avec le foisonnement d’importantes luttes offensives contre la construction de centrales nucléaires et d’autres nuisances industrielles, de conflits contre l’OTAN et le militarisme, de combats contre le patriarcat et les nouvelles technologies, ou encore de révoltes d’une jeunesse enragée. Dotées d’une solide logistique souterraine décentralisée, les RZ revendiquent près de 200 attentats, principalement explosifs et incendiaires, jusqu’en 1993.

Dans ces entretiens, trois anciens des RZ donnent leur vision du parcours historique de cette organisation de résistance armée. Avec une disponibilité au débat encourageante, ils dressent des bilans critiques, s’interrogent sur l’action offensive, réfléchissent sur les difficultés qu’implique une structure organisationnelle décentralisée mais permanente, questionnent les rapports au sein des groupes d’action souterrains et reviennent sur les péripéties de vies ayant une dimension de combat clandestin.

« Notre objectif est et a toujours été la diffusion de la résistance armée, était et reste le soutien d’un réseau de groupes autonomes qui, en tant que tendance armée au sein du mouvement, sont capables d’agir par eux-mêmes dans leurs villes et régions, qui y poussent plus loin les contradictions. »

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary attack on a Volkswagen dealership

Posted on 2023/05/14 - 2023/05/17 by darknights

The future dystopia of a fully controlled life by smart cities, 5G, where your fridge communicates with your mobile phone or a street lamp, and supermarkets offer you everything you ask for in the (anti)social media is already here. Everything is increasingly connected and everything is being monitored. It’s a future where people will be controlled by the artificial intelligence of big capital – big data and machine learning. Whatever information capital collects is shared with the state. Technology means repression, blackmail and total social control.

At the same time, the ecological war for plutocratic resources called green energy is nothing but a new form of slavery on other continents, allowing Western capitalism to be as independent as possible from Russian gas or oil-producing countries. All this is another new great stage of capitalism – green capitalism. It is the exploitation of the climate crisis and biological extinction by capital and the state.

When the New Democracy government came to power, it began an unprecedented upgrade of the repressive apparatus in numbers and technical equipment. The cops are used as a solution to every “problem”: the pandemic, the universities, demonstrations and protests of all types, the gentrification of Athens. The cops are the number one remedy for everything.

All of the above are condensed in the memorandum of understanding between the government of the New Democracy and Volkswagen with the aim of turning Astypalaia into the first smart island, a laboratory that leads the inhabitants to become guinea pigs of the dystopian future. The contract began in September 2021, and aims to gradually replace the island’s conventional vehicles with electric ones. The project is being portrayed by the mainstream media as a technological leap that will benefit the environment and residents. In reality, of course, the memorandum of understanding is nothing more than another way of increasing profitability and repression at the expense of the natural environment and the inhabitants. VW will be able to test autonomous vehicles on the island on terms outside the strict EU legislation, gaining the upper hand against competition. At the same time there is talk of installing hundreds of wind turbines on the island, turning it into a hub for electricity generation and completely destroying the natural environment. Finally, one of the first moves of the project was the donation of electric vehicles from VW to the murderous assault battalions of the cops and the coast guard.

The cooperation between the bloodthirsty New Democracy government and VW is not unprecedented. VW has a long history of supporting fascist and oppressive regimes. From Nazi Germany in the 1930s, to the military dictatorships in Brazil and Argentina, to Franco’s Spain, VW has always been and continues to be at the forefront of capital profiting on top of harsh oppression.

For all these reasons, at dawn on May 10, we visited the VW dealership on Alexandras Avenue. Our intervention resulted in the destruction of several new electric vehicles and the destruction of the front of the dealership, without endangering passers-by or residents of the area. We consider it an integral part of anarchy to recognize those who profit on oppression, misery and exploitation and it is our duty to return the violence they cause.

We dedicate our action to the prisoners of the social war, Fotis, Iasona, Panos and Lambros, who are being prosecuted for the attack on the Piraeus traffic police.

Solidarity with our wounded comrades Boris and Serge from the militant ecological defence on the territories of the French state.

Solidarity to Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar whose trial against them starts in a few days.

For a Black May, in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales, who fell in battle 14 years ago.

“The logic that commands us is less and less simple profit but even more ruthless scientific logic; Once a scientific discovery is made, it is impossible to go back, even if the resulting technological innovation leads us by the hand to self-destruction.”
ALFREDO COSPITO

In a society that pushes us more and more towards technological alienation, towards a future that excludes real contact by giving our existence a virtual alternative, a place based on the illusion of having control over any aspect of our time, a blinder that distracts us from reality.

As anarchists and anarchists we are aware that there is only one class that has control of hyper-technological society, and it alone enjoys its benefits, so we believe that there is no more concrete sabotage than going to strike at the heart of the future and progress.

DEATH TO THE STATE AND ITS MEGAMACHINES, FOR A FUTURE FREE FROM SCIENTIFIC EXPLOITATION.
LONG LIVE INTERNATIONALISM AND LONG LIVE ANARCHY.

Actforfree receive and speed.
