$hile: Text from compañero Juan Aliste to Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/21 - 2023/01/21 by darknights

When the journey is without return or hesitation for a revolutionary subversive or anarchist. The decisions of struggle are based on the conviction of life.
Life that we defend with integrity and consistency in every scenario. We understand freedom as a reflection of our actions, we understand it in the indomitable, in what removes and combats the slave order and not in the precarious and miserable capitalist format of opting for alternatives of welfare and consumerism.
Thus owners of our steps and sighs, owners of the life that runs through our bones and skin in war.
Life that we defend free from any space and with all means and capacities.
Hand in hand with decision we pick up the continuous thread of direct action, brotherhood breaking frontiers and impossibilities.
Today the complicity, the multiform and horizontal conspiracy unfolds and positions itself by building from resistance and international solidarity.

Far from old organizational logics or authoritarian parties, I raise my war cry. In the same trench of Alfredo Cospito, who began by making visible the isolation and perpetuity of his sentence. Faced with a State that has a whole structural framework and a doctrine of constant, sinister and class oppression. Today the mobilization of the Italian anarchist comrade battles with death. After almost 90 days on hunger strike and adding up, only sustainable in the conviction and fortitude of an unwavering heart and a life at war.
Putting the body as a weapon of confrontation and struggle is a sign of revolutionary strength. From his anarchist foundations Alfredo is not one of those who are just passing through. Alfredo is fighting against all the rottenness of the State and its machinery. He fights with his body this subversive battle.
I write from anger and as an enemy of the State from the pain that strengthens us and puts us to the test. The real word that emanates from the fierce certainty that the only freedom lies in action. That these prisons that they invented to contain us fail and will fail as long as we stand up to fight against it and all the shit that sustains them.

Strength, compañero/brother, my respect for the struggle.
I have nothing to say to power. My energies go to you Alfredo, every breath of oxygen of these letters belong to you and to each one of the comrades who fight to close the 41 bis.
A complicit embrace of struggle and unwavering resistance in tenderness.
Our life in war does not end with torture, jail or death.
Death to the prison society and to all the states and institutions that sustain them.
Internationalist Solidarity for Alfredo Cospito
Against 41 bis and life imprisonment.

Chile: Words of Tomás and Mawhünko before a new commemoration of Matias Catrileo’s death

Posted on 2023/01/06 by darknights

Time passes but you endure and resist with your example of unwavering struggle sprouting from the earth like a native forest.

Today I write to you from prison with a bit of nostalgia since I cannot be present as I would like to be. I think that nothing is finished and in a personal way for the memories I have with you when I had no worries … I watched in wonder your punky crest while you took me in your arms you were with your jacket full of studs on your neck that I watched innocently; I can firmly say that with you I spent my best moments as a child. I remember to the surface that January 3, 2008 where as a result of the context everything was overturned in my days, with that burning that feels alone sometimes and that you try not to forget … because I would not see you anymore, however only disappears what we do not know how to look / feel and this is not the case because your flame fuels mine to feel the breeze, the rain and the smell of damp earth that like a blanket covers the roots of the great araucarias.

This is how time passes but you live in our memory and even though the road of the insurrectional struggle against capital and the miserable authoritarians who perpetuate misery may lead us to prison or death, it is still beautiful because those of us who throw ourselves with feeling and courage can say that we have been free and dignified, this is how we advance with nothing to fear.

“You accompany me in every step I take as I walk in the forest that they try to devastate and I say try because they will not be able to do it. You live in every outbreak feeding the storm waiting to lurk like a pangui to defend and attack those who want to occupy the land to exterminate.”

Matias Valentin Catrileo Quezada lives in the weichan!”

‘Ready or Not’ – Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/04 - 2023/01/04 by darknights

In these three years I was faced with choices which led me by the hand through a path fraught with crossroads and bifurcations.

Like on a minefield, I had to decide carefully where to step, with my pride and my self-respect at stake. The first choice I had to face with was whether I should continue to contribute, or let the prison overflow me, patiently waiting to get out. As limited as my situation is, I chose to continue to contribute through the written word. Once I made this decision I faced another crossroad: whether to confine myself — ecumenically — from this “high point” of my “status” (sic.) of a “revolutionary” prisoner — to bestowing blessings in each directions, applauding to every anarchist practice, paying attention not to make any enemies; or to use the weapon of critique, ever more harshly, trying to outline some analysis, to open some discourses. I chose the easier way (at least for me): openly push my critique to the extremes, at the cost of isolation (less letters, less information, less generic solidarity).

But always aware of the abyss between the thought and the action.

Words, strong as they may be, always carry something that sounds phony, even when they pose real, concrete risks, which may effectuate in years of prison for apology or incitement.

In “my” cell, the words I listen to most carefully are those that follow the actions, those which become flash and blood. They are alive, real, there’s no mistaking. They differ from the continuous blabbering in the background of an anarchist movement withdrawn in itself, affected by an embarrassing lack of courage and fantasy. A movement that feeds on appearance, on rhetoric and sometimes on demagogy, with its demonstrations, assemblies, communicative marches, campaigns of information and on rooting in a territory, a continuous blah blah. You don’t have to support claims of responsibility, but you know for sure they are honest because they are products of an action, because they’re written by really taking part in the game, putting one’s life in danger. In these times of virtual reality it is no small thing, and when then these claims talk to each other becoming campaigns of action, the background noise, the blabbering, definitely disappears, and everything gets more serious, more dangerous, more real.

Greece: ’14 years later the only thing that has changed is the bullet in the chamber’ – Thanos Chatziangelou

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Dawn of December 5th

Thessaloniki

Simmachiki Street

Uniformed bastards of the DI.AS. chase a vehicle that does not stop at their signal. They shoot the driver who has left a gas station without paying the price. A bullet is lodged in the head and the driver loses control of the vehicle. The result? Kostas Fragoulis a 16 year old kid in intensive care from a cop’s bullet to the head.

Scum Snitch Journalists

Before the truth about the event has even come to light, police reporters have begun to weave the dominant narrative. The journalistic vagrancy is talking about a maniacal driver who rammed a police vehicle to get away from the chase. It is the compounded lie that as another truth will give extenuating circumstances to the thug of the DI.AS. In the same way that the uniformed scum in Perama were exonerated. The journalistic sycophants, bloodthirsty in the arena of spectacle, constitute the state narrative that adorns the prestige of the criminal nature of tyranny.

When the state murdered the 15-year-old anarchist comrade Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the media saw vandalism and riots. When the battalions of Chrysochoidis executed comrade Lambros Fountas, the terror panels of Lambropoulos and Souliotis spoke of an Albanian thug. In Perama 38 bullets in the body of Nikos Sampanis shielded the self-defence of the motorized assault battalions of the DI.AS. And when the lie does not overshadow the truth, they bury it by overemphasizing it in the next main news story, just as they buried the murder of 16-year-old Michalis in Ditika, when he was swept away by a police service vehicle. Today the authoritarian subjectivity of the armed journalistic pen is pitted against the same bloody truth over and over again. A 16-year-old kid in intensive care from a cop’s bullet to the head.

Chile: ‘Because there is a whole world to destroy.’ Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan for “Nueva Subversión”

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

Because there is a whole world to destroy. Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan.

“For me, “informality” is above all friendship and love between comrades who share everything, even disappointments (inevitable in human relationships, because of their fickle nature). Brothers and sisters in war united by a passion: the destruction of the existent that is sufficient by itself and does not need the constraint of an organization. A life lived intensely, a handful of comrades who make loyalty and respect for the given word an insurmountable fortress, always allowing themselves to resist.”

– Alfredo Cospito

The anarchic endeavor travels thousands of kilometers, destroys languages and borders in the incessant war against power, in this journey we weave networks of conspiracy and we twin with comrades who have decided of their own free will to give practical impetus to their denials.

In all the history of propaganda by the fact we have never been forced, dragged or manipulated to strike blows against the enemy, always from our own conscience and will is that Anarchy has opened beautiful paths of confrontation and that will not change.

Far from hesitations and contemplative postures towards life and its rapid advance, we find brothers and sisters and comrades at long distances, accomplices that make Anarchy an active giant with vast experiences in the new anarchist urban guerrilla. Of these comrades are Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan, activists, dangerous and unyielding in the streets and in the prisons of capital.

Our words emerge from action and are a wink of complicit brotherhood with those who have been trapped by power and who today make their bodies a trench of war. In special solidarity for comrade Alfredo Cospito who faces a new battle, in a new planning and action against the beast of 41bis.

Chile: Text of comrade Mónica Caballero with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

A few days ago, I received the news that the indomitable Alfredo Cospito started a hunger strike to stop the application of the 41 bis legal torture regime.

For those who do not know Alfredo Cospito, he is an anarchist comrade kidnapped by the Italian state, since 2012, for the attack against one of those responsible for the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. This action was attributed by the Olga FAI-IRF cell and assumed by Alfredo.

After this condemnation of the comrade, he has been prosecuted for several repressive operations, such as Scripta Manet, Sibilla, which have managed to get convictions and have added more years to the already long sentence of the comrade.

The 41 bis is basically a regime of total isolation, in which the prisoner is restricted, limited and censored in all his communications. Censorship is one of the main motivations that the Italian state has had to apply the 41 bis to Alfredo, the comrade has always had the opportunity to spread informal anarchist ideas that urge action, as in the same way, he has also been concerned to be part of the debates that various groups and individuals promote in different territories.

In this way Alfredo, despite all the difficulties, continues to be an active and very valuable comrade in the construction of destructive ideas. The powerful know that Alfredo’s pen is dangerous, that is why it is better to leave him in the cage, as small as possible and with as many eyes as possible that can control his every move.

Abstraction and loss of meaning

Posted on 2022/11/16 - 2022/11/16 by darknights

“Thought and dynamite, thought to lift up the weak,
dynamite to bring down the powerful.”
(Paul Schicchi)

The meagreness of the times does not happen by accident. For those with a world to demolish, abstraction and insignificance are increasingly becoming spectres. On the one hand, it is clear how an extremely technological system makes alienation abstract: real and virtual tend to mix, and feeling is devoured by it. What to do when despondency emerges in all its inconsistency in living? When one perceives the stasis but does not want to see the substance? This weightless alienation is strongly linked to the loss of meaning of every word. With whom to argue if everything has become unintelligible? If the juxtaposition has blurred the opposition? If one can say this and do its perfect opposite? If one considers life separate from survival because so much of this separation makes it comfortable to submerge in the safety of need, rather than to venture into the dark wilderness of desired and elusive freedom?

Then reinventing oneself might become an endeavor all to be explored. The struggle against oppression is but a tiny part of the insurrectional incumbency to take what is unheard of: life. We are always too young to wait, our existences are too short, and there have never been so many heads of tyrants to outrage and their kingdoms to destroy. To become expendable commodities in false consciousnesses is the opinion good for all seasons and to soothe tempers: realism. But my ideas, my body, my actions are not yesterday’s, will not be the same in tomorrow, and belong to no one but myself, for I think and feel. What has already been minted on currency, what has already been identified on commodities, what has already been programmed in infrastructure, what has already been shouted from captivity, what has already been drawn in art and what has already been written on so many smeared sheets of paper, hidden behind the imperatives of daily living, there is only the bondage that places us in a completely totalitarian constraint: lingering in the future.

The rulers of time and censors of space want to impose their own measure on all and everyone. Only our boundless pretensions can become the indispensable device to overturn all the abjectness of this world. Something can always happen, beyond generalized insignificance and alienating abstraction.

Without making an appointment with anyone, clutching the unpredictable by the hand, enjoying endlessly to embody what is furthest from technology: the thrilling beauty of revenge.

Does the enemy lie to the right? A discussion about the current series of attacks on Green offices in the Federal Republic of Germany

Posted on 2022/11/15 by darknights

Does the enemy lie to the right? A discussion about the current series of attacks on Green offices in the Federal Republic of Germany

The following text was prepared and published by the new German-language website “Aufstand! “, the birth of which we had communicated with the translation of their introductory text, and refers to an uninterrupted series of attacks and defacements against the offices of the governing coalition party “Die Grüne,” the Greens, that are taking place all over Germany; the latest attack in chronological order dates back to November 7, 2022 when, during the night, the windows of two offices of the Greens and an office of the Social Democrats of the SPD in three different districts of Berlin were attacked with hammers.

A series of attacks on the offices of the governing party, the Greens, is sweeping through the Federal Republic of Germany these days. Sometimes windows are smashed, sometimes the facade is defaced with paint, sometimes there are communiqués, sometimes political slogans are left behind, sometimes not. All of these attacks have something in common: They are an attack against a party that in recent months has increased arms spending, exported weapons, supported wars, but whose policies have also further impoverished people, continued to poison and destroy the environment in which we live-especially through wind turbines, continued to operate nuclear and coal-fired power plants, built liquefied natural gas terminals, and so on. All of this with the arrogant smiles typical of those who are warm and full-bellied, dispensing people with the classic hypocritical advice from politicians who evidently live on another level outside of reality regarding what to do to save on shower, heating and electricity consumption. Meanwhile, these political Greens have not been sparing themselves, signing contracts for new colonial energy projects, further strengthening European borders, persevering with their murderous practices and continuing to promote investments in domestic militarization. The consequences of the Greens’ policies are proving once again (nothing to be surprised at) far more dramatic than the conservative policies of recent years. Faced with a predominant focus on the part of militant antifascism in siding against the populist right wing represented by the AfD (in fact among other things politically less influential than its leftist counterpart currently in power)-and at the same time, however, not hesitating in the face of broad “antifascist” alliances with Green organizations and their youth structures-, these “antifa” should certainly ask themselves the question whether, in fact, they are nothing more than a para-state bastion along the lines of the various communist and fascist thugs of the late 1920s. That then fundamentally this question should be asked by many among those who in fact only wish for a state with a slightly different and agreeable political form.

A Contribution to the Fourth International Meeting Against Techno-Sciences – Dino Giagtzoglou

Posted on 2022/09/28 - 2022/09/28 by darknights

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
MEETING AGAINST TECHNO-SCIENCES

Hi everyone!

Three years ago, when Resistenze al nanomondo took on the initiative to organize this annual and international meeting for the first time, I couldn’t have imagined what would follow in the years to come. In that very first meeting I tried to describe my thoughts and concerns on the ongoing fourth industrial revolution by focusing on the futuristic and technomaniac (gentrified) neo-theory of Singularity and what follows on from the transhumanist ideology and the practices of its priests.

Today, after more than two years of continuous health terror full of scaremongering propaganda, informational carpet bombing and psychological manipulation via humongous and humdrum lies, nefarious threats, blackmailing, curfews, lockdowns, punishment, hypocritical calls for “solidarity”, promises and “rewards”, we can clearly see what for many comrades – although they always seem to be just a few – was evident and foreseeable since decades or centuries: how the ruling class creates and/or exploits various successive “crises” under the guise of “states of emergency” to apply, impose or make desirable (by the populace) “new” technologies and techniques, but also to extend old and identical-to-the-core forms of psycho-social control and capitalist accumulation, lately going even up to the cellular and molecular levels of the human species by making our bodies living foundries and factories of protein production owned by the biotech pharmaceutical industry.

One thing is sure, two things are certain: a “new”, “green” and, of course, “safe and effective” nuclear power will be suggested to address the “energy crisis” as well as the “climate crisis”, while a huge push for the approval of “gene-edited” food passed off as non-GMO is underway supposedly to become the solution to a “food crisis” of some vague, obscure and undefined cause, or even the treatment of modern civilization diseases such as obesity, in the same way that “new” and – let’s repeat it with one voice – “safe and effective” gene therapies, in the form of injections that were deceitfully labeled and falsely accepted as vaccines, were introduced to deal with an alleged “health crisis”.

It should come as no surprise if the proposed solution to a possible surge of auto-immune or genetically inherited diseases, resulted from these incapacitating or deadly injections of genetic engineering and the generalized biotechnological omniviolence (spanning from genome editing of various species to bioweapons), would come from her majesty the “queen of all (pseudo-)sciences” Eugenics and the “safe and effective” way to come into the world would be growing GM embryos of medically assisted “procreation” and surrogate “gestation” in artificial wombs, i.e ex-vivo plastic bagssimulating the living functions of the maternal body. Let alone the scenario of artificial reproduction mandates, such like the “vaccine” mandates, becoming the “socially responsible” choice to have a child passed off as a “free and conscious” choice for the health of the social body, which eventually is about the health of the Machine.

Chile: Text of the antiauthoritarian prisoner Juan Flores during the week of action and solidarity with the anarchist prisoners.

Posted on 2022/08/30 by darknights

“Humility as the basis for the growth, development and strengthening of anti-authoritarian ideas.”

Because we are still on war footing!!!

Because we continue clearing the paths that will lead us towards the longed-for revenge, giving continuity to our insurrectional yearning.

Together with Maury and Angry!!!!

Together with Ravachol, Severino, Mateo Morral, Sante and all our brothers and sisters who have fallen rabid and thirsty for revenge!!!!

These words are born and fly free from the extermination center Las Gonzalinas in Rancagua, saluting in a fraternal and accomplice way the insurrectionist action of each individual that in any place of the globe resists to a death in monotony in the asphyxiating life of total control, a thousand times I will say it, they are my strongest heartbeat, the continuity that the power fears so much. Also to those brothers and sisters who at the point of insubordinate creativity have decided to show solidarity in this week of agitation.

I have declared myself and acted as an individual in confrontation with domination and its repressive apparatus, making it clear that the anti-authoritarian ideas, the anger against the prevailing order and the memory that shape me will not be bent either by their long sentences or by their askerosas prisons in this sense I transit in war inside the prison like so many anti-authoritarian brothers and sisters is a call to all those individuals who recognize themselves as irreconcilable enemies of the power, to continue advancing along the path of social warfare, giving life among peers and like-minded people to the intensification of conflict and anarchic action in an unbridled manner and against all odds. Today, almost 8 years after my imprisonment, I can share the result of a life in rebellion in which humility has been the basis for maintaining the continuity of my anti-authoritarian struggle in a dignified manner in these dungeons. Every step, decision and even every mistake have been learnings, never regretted or part of something that is posed as absolute that can disregard or belittle the courage of so many comrades through the centuries of struggle against the power of which I consider myself continuity, without exalting always questioning even my own steps. Today I continue to firmly consolidate the certainties of our infinite negating capacities of the existing to break the captivity, its norms, logics, control and all its order in the everyday and the clandestine in anti-authoritarian complicity. For this there are no absolute truths or manuals that can more than our yearnings for freedom, dignity and rebellion, for many the anti-authoritarian struggle seems to be extinguished to many would accommodate them but for our pleasure and their concern our rebellion will continue to exist.
