Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attack on BRINKS security vehicle

Posted on 2022/05/21 by darknights

Our lives are daily subjected to the devaluation and the all-out attack of the state in all areas of socio-political reality. Understaffed hospitals where people are dying without even having the possibility of a decent hospitalization, labor sweatshops where workers are murdered as security measures are non-existent, uniformed scumbags chasing and shooting unarmed minors because they are Roma in the name of property and security, arrests with inflated charges linking people to organizations because of friendly relations. These are all examples that display the dystopia that the rulers want to establish.

In this effort, therefore, we feel the need to set up mounds of resistance and to fight back by all means and in various ways against the enemy, while giving the answer that nothing will end with arrests and detention of militants. One of the ways we use and consider an important tool in the overall struggle against the state and capital is direct action. In various places in the urban fabric there are targets waiting to be visited in order to break in practice the sense of security that the rulers try to maintain.

We take responsibility for the arson of a BRINKS security company vehicle in the Triandrias area on the evening of 16 April.

OUR IDEAS ARE NOT IMPRISONED

SOLIDARITY TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS

Thessaloniki, Greece: Communique for an arson attack upon mayor Dimitris Demourtzidis’ car by ‘Nightriders of the Flame’

Posted on 2022/05/14 - 2022/05/14 by darknights

Life in the metropolises is suffocating. In recent years, we have seen the urban beast growing larger and sucking life into its path. Cops and snitches lurk around every corner, poverty and deprivation are reflected in every aspect of daily life, oppression (labour, sexual, racial) is a brutal reality, while the circle of ‘freedoms’ and ‘breaths of life’ are getting narrower and narrower. In this suffocating grip, capitalism comes to remind us that we are expendable materials for its machines, which produce endlessly and thirst for profit.

The gentrification projects are the blunt admission by the state that we exist simply to produce for them. Squares, parks, neighborhoods that were once appropriable by their inhabitants are being gentrified by labor and handed over to tourists and urban bourgeois. Expensive cafes, airbnb, surveillance cameras, increasing tourist population, overall increase in the cost of living are some of the consequences of redevelopment. Consequences that result in the displacement of people who once lived in these neighborhoods as they can no longer cope with the new existing situation. So the so-called ‘gentrification’ thus creates ‘fortress’ (urban) areas with increased social control and repression while other urban areas are ghettoised and impoverished. The segregation of neighbourhoods within cities and their so pronounced differentiations, clearly facilitates the work of the cops in terms of mapping and surveillance.

We see such a project unfolding before us in the Pavlos Mela military camp. A huge space within the confined metropolitan prison, freely appropriable by all and sundry, has been included in the redevelopment plans of Mayor Dimitris Demourtzidis.

Paris, France: An RATP service car on fire

Posted on 2022/05/11 by darknights

One night at the end of April I set fire to a service car of the RATP in Paris (rue des Rondeaux)

The RATP (public transport) is a key player in the capitalist/state management of our lives (in the Paris region). It transports us to work, to the places of consumption and to the different tasks that are imposed on us. Read: exploitation and alienation.
It sorts out the good poor to be transported for free (but with the possibility of controlling their movements) and the bad who do not have the right papers or do not want to be traced. For the latter, gates, cameras everywhere, controllers, guards, all in close collaboration with the police.

The cogs of this morbid normality are right in front of you!
Let’s put a stop to the daily routine!

Santiago, Chile: Arson attack against two buses in the Simon Bolivar neighborhood + Claim by “Animales refractarixs”.

Posted on 2022/04/28 by darknights

Source: Noticias de la Guerra Social

During the commemoration day for the death of Erick and Ivan in the Simon Bolivar population, a demonstration went through the neighborhood and then went to the main avenue to set up barricades and congregate at the memorial where both were killed.

It is in the midst of this usual dynamic that a group managed to intercept two micro-buses and descended the passengers and the driver and then set them on fire. The huge blaze destroyed both vehicles and subsequently prompted firefighters to take action.

The demonstration ended without arrests and retreated through different sectors of the neighborhood. Soon after, a communiqué was sent to different counter-information pages, reaching our email (noticiasdelaguerrasocial(a)riseup.net), with the following text:

**Claim**.

Saturday, April 16.

In the context of the 33rd commemoration of the death in combat of Erick Rodríguez and Iván Palacios in the Simón Bolívar neighborhood in Quinta Normal. Together with a group of individuals we went to the usual conflict zone that takes place every year on this classic day.

With our backpacks loaded with accelerant and armed for the confrontation with the bastard police. We waited patiently for a public transportation system vehicle to cross the street. As soon as the opportunity arose, we stopped two buses coming at a medium distance. We non-violently got off the drivers and the people on the buses. Then we proceeded to spray both machines with our favorite liquid, in order to illuminate the dark night on Radal Street.

Russia: Military cars on fire

Posted on 2022/04/12 by darknights
Arson in Balashikha

At night on 03.04.22 there was an arson in Russia – cars belonging to the staff of the FSB Special Operations Center (military unit 35690, Balashikha, Moscow region) burned down. At least four cars were burned. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the owners of the cars were representatives of the executive staff of the Federal Security Service’s Central Intelligence Service.

It is reported that in recent days, cases of deliberate arson of cars of Russian military and officials are becoming more frequent. In particular, cars of servicemen of the 95th Brigade (Gorelovo, St Petersburg Region) and the 82nd Radio Technical Brigade (Vyazma, Smolensk Region) have recently been set on fire.

Russian servicemen speak of threats of physical reprisals if they agree to participate in the war against Ukraine.

Berlin, Germany: Arson attack on car of prison profiteer SPIE in solidarity with prisoners

Posted on 2022/03/29 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

 

Wednesday night, March 23, we set fire to a car of the company SPIE in Prenzlauer Berg. SPIE participates internationally in the construction and operation of prisons and other facilities with the goal of total surveillance and control.

Educational institutions, parks, transportation infrastructure, and consumer miles become places of discipline under the electronic eyes and sensors of a mix of private and state security systems. Where people could organize and shape their own lives, where they could resist and simply take what they are not granted under capitalism, companies like SPIE are contributing to the technological assault. Too little is said to the enemies of freedom. Let’s burn down their cars, let’s paralyze their infrastructure!

With this action we declare our solidarity with the persecuted defenders of Biologico and the ungovernability of the University of Thessaloniki, with the imprisoned Thanos Xatziagkelou, Georgia Voulgari, Panos Kalaitzis and Dimitris Hatzivassiliadis.

With Ella and Lina in the focus of German repression and Claudio Lavazza under the control of the French prison system. With all persecuted fighters around the globe.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson & incendiary attacks by Cells of Anti-Militarist Action – Another war is possible

Posted on 2022/03/26 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

ANOTHER WAR IS POSSIBLE: CLASS, ANTI-STATE, REVOLUTIONARY.

We take responsibility for the arson attacks that took place from March 2 to 14 in areas of Athens. Specifically

At dawn on Wednesday 2/3 we set fire to and destroyed a company van of AKTORA in Chrysostomou Smyrnis Street in Vyronas. On 1/4/2021 in Evia, the bodies of 3 dead workers were found hanging on the DEI poles and thrown lifeless on the ground at an AKTORA construction site. The murdered workers of the class war are not included in any official statistics, many times they do not even have a name, nationality, age. They are mere fuel and legalized collateral damage. Only proletarian organization and revenge can keep alive the memory of the murdered workers and our class hatred against their murdering bosses. Giannis Carlatiras, 43 years old, George Toskas, 55 years old, and Alex Brouka, 45 years old. stand next to the names of Antonis Dellios, Stamatis Diplaris, Giritlis Tzihat and many other local and migrant workers, all of them murdered on AKTORA construction sites, in our own accounts, in our own memory.

Let us realize that the organization of class revolutionary anti-violence was not, nor is it, a secondary dimension of workers’ action. It is on organised proletarian counter-violence, on the destruction of capital’s proletarian elements and the targeting of its cadres, on the wildcat strikes, that not only any “bargaining power” of the exploited masses is based, but also their very unity in the fields of class warfare. It is the resistance and attack of the workers against the bosses that unites the Class, not the bargaining for the material conditions of its simple survival.

In the midst of declared war and class lockdowns, trade union slogans have been reduced to “health protection measures, masks, tests and vaccinations”, legitimising automatic conscription and therefore universal devaluation of labour power in the name of public health. War, every form of war organised by states, is an automatic devaluation of the class not only in terms of wages and rights but also in simple material and biological dimensions. War means extermination, destruction, death, and when it is officially declared, the generalized appeal to peace simply digs our hole. It can only seem dystopian to claim individual military helmets and safe passage routes to work in the event of an actual military conflict. A working class disciplined to the dictates of the state and capital is a working class vulnerable, easy prey to their warlike designs.

Vienna, Austria: Six police cars from “Joint Operational Office against Human Smuggling Networks” set on fire 30th January 2022

Posted on 2022/03/02 - 2022/03/02 by darknights

Also under the slogan “Borders killing” we went to the street in the night of 30th of January 2022 and visited JOO (Joint Operational Office against Human Smuggling Networks). It’s an office which is supported from Europol to prevent human smuggling.

Their investigations together with Frontex, Europol and Interpol should stop illegal border-crossing and criminalize migration.

They call it “operational police-cooperation with countries from the european south-east” in the field of “migration, organized criminality and terror- and extremism”.

We are against life-threading transports of humans who have to pay a lot of money for that, but mostly it’s the only choice they have. In the end not the fucked up transportations are the main goal of the investigations but all people who support migration.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson attack on a company vehicle of UNISON Facilities Management in Exarcheia

Posted on 2022/02/25 - 2022/02/25 by darknights

Regenaration, development, gentrification. Concepts that have become embedded as spikes in the discourse and action of the antagonist movement, must be seen as another aspect of the attack of the ruling classes against the oppressed class. Capital aims at subordinating the whole of life to its exploitation and reproduction, and therefore organizes more and more aspects of human activity in this logic.

The process of enclosing community/public spaces for the purpose of capital’s reproduction is a process as old as capitalism. In recent decades we have experienced the long deconstruction of social democratic management, with the mediation of the state receding, giving more room for the defensive subordination of activities of social life to capital. In this sense, a concerted attack has been launched in recent years on public spaces, squares, parks in the metropolises, transferring their management from the state to private individuals, with the aim of creating new fields of profitability for capital.

This is exactly the condition of the sale of a series of public green spaces by the Municipality of Athens to the company UNISON Facilities Services, such as the hills (Strefi, Filopappou, Lycabettus, Turkovounia), squares (Protomaya, Victoria, Kypseli, Attiki, Ameriki, Drakopoulos, Agios Panteleimon), parks (Platonos Academia, Kyrpo, Patision, Goudi) and pedestrian streets (Agia Zoni, Fokionos Negri). UNISON (formerly ISS), belongs to a category of a new type of company that, through contractor privatisations, is simultaneously financed by state-taxed, collectively produced surplus value, and at the same time intensifies the exploitation of its workers through miserable wages, flexible working hours and violation of workers’ rights.
