Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), Paris, France: The van of Valmy street

Posted on 2021/10/03 - 2021/10/03 by darknights

This is the story of an eiffage van. A brand new van. Because it has obviously replaced the one that, as we read, was burned earlier this year in the same area. A brand new van, therefore, which ends up burning.

An Eiffage van is most often used to build cages.

Sad cages with colors that sound false. Cages to get us used to conformity, to prepare us for work and to play the social role we have been assigned.

Cages that are depressing or full of noise and lights that make our heads spin, supposed to motivate us to waste our time and energy in occupations that are too often useless or harmful.

Falsely welcoming cages to fill with trinkets to park us when we are not busy producing or consuming. To hide the emptiness that our life has become.

Gloomy cages with barbed wire and bars, when we don’t want to or can’t play the social role we have been assigned.

Sanitized cages to try to prolong this existence when it is the very life that is missing.

The characteristic of this existence is its absence of life, replaced by a set of objects and more or less obliged occupations. But there will always be someone to avenge this life that is taken away from us. Because the only dignified life in a society that prevents us from living is the destruction of this society.

So this is the story of the Eiffage van that was set on fire on Sunday night, 27 rue Valmy in Montreuil.

This is the story of a van that will not be the last to go up in smoke.

Solidarity with Boris, with Toby Shone, imprisoned in England and with the three Italian anarchists currently on trial and facing many years in jail.

Long live anarchy!

Paris, France: Arson of an Enedis vehicle

Posted on 2021/09/20 - 2021/09/20 by darknights

A former dictator once said that communism is the soviets plus electricity. This image shows how compatible his worldview was with today’s society. The passage of time has shown us how false the promises of technical progress were. But the “empowerment” of workers, who no longer need foremen because they have them in their heads, or citizen involvement in the management of the “common good” are increasingly used as instruments of social pacification.

Instead, we prefer the equation “anarchy is fire plus freely and temporarily associated individuals”.

Wanting to continue to put small obstacles in the way of the incessant production of electricity, we also wanted to target Enedis.

On the night of the 10th to the 11th of September, we burned down an Enedis vehicle on the rue du Banquier in Paris.

Even if our strength is not comparable to that of state repression, attacks by small groups allow us to be unpredictable. May the autumn nights live with a thousand fires!

A thought for Boris, a wink of solidarity to all those who act against this world.

Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), France : Vinci-neration of a utility van

Posted on 2021/09/11 - 2021/09/11 by darknights

It is not easy to find a sordid domain in which Vinci is not involved. From Qatar to Chile, from France to Russia, the flagship industry exports its control infrastructures throughout the world. Destruction of the living, exploitation and confinement of the human being are of course on the menu. So the Vinci utility van that was burned a few days ago in Ivry will not prevent Vinci from continuing to build rubble.

We just hope that besides the good it did us at the time, it will help remind the enraged everywhere that we are not alone and that the flame of revolt is not extinguished. On this subject, we couldn’t help but have a thought for our friend Boris who is still hospitalized while lighting our bonfire.

Fire to the prisons and to those who build them!

Grenoble, France: Orange van set on fire in solidarity with Boris

Posted on 2021/09/11 - 2021/09/11 by darknights

In solidarity with Boris, who has been in a coma for a month now following a fire in his cell, an Orange vehicle was set on fire in front of the Orange offices in downtown Grenoble on Sunday night.

Why Orange? Simply because we read the minutes of Boris’ trial, and we saw that Orange, through its lawyer, tried to push our companion to the maximum. Of course the judges, prosecutors and wardens are just as responsible for his situation, but we wanted to start a campaign against Orange, because it is easily within our reach everywhere: slashed tires, broken store windows, tags, burned cars, burned antennas, etc., there is something for everyone who wants to take part in this little campaign, to show that we do not forget Boris and that we think of him, with our heads held high, our hearts burning!

We take advantage of this little communiqué to participate in the debate on anarchist solidarity. For us this solidarity should not be limited to repression, because society has many ways to destroy us, and in all these situations it seems important to us that anarchists support each other, to show that affinity is not just an empty word. Especially since the beginning of the Covid crisis, which has considerably isolated many anarchists. We also wanted to say that solidarity is not only attacking, that there are many ways to express solidarity with the anarchists around us.

We also take the opportunity to express aloud the thorny problem of attack targets, which in the last years have become a common point with fascists/conspis. From antennas (remember that in almost all the antenna burning trials in France Boris was the only person who did not express conspiracy ideas), to vaccination centers. What does this say about current anarchism? And how can we not confuse anarchist acts with conspiracy acts, and why is this important? That leftists have been pounding the pavement hand in hand with fascists/conspis for weeks should alert us to the danger of the idea of common struggle, which means that we don’t care who we struggle with as long as we have the same practices and the same target. We forget that these people whose actions we applaud or with whom we demonstrate have positions opposed to ours on almost everything, and that we would be their target in other contexts.

Full of strength and courage for Boris and his family!

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson in Vyronas

Posted on 2021/09/11 - 2021/09/13 by darknights

The capitalist economy needs to sell security to society, a miserable, sleeping society. The capitalist machine, its uniformed officers and the shit that surrounds them exist to make people obey orders and then shit and buy plastic trinkets like cell phones. Of course an economic crisis doesn’t bring repression but, immigrants, virus, fires and dissidents do. Governments will use anything to increase surveillance of the masses, to sow fear, boredom through screens, just follow the apps and you are safe.

Some of course do not follow orders but are consciously on the other side, resisting against the empty capitalist reality. Some continue the struggle in the cells of tyranny. For them and for us. Let’s bring the fires from the forests to the city. Let the aristocrats, the security forces and their masters pay with every price for the disasters. Monday, August 30, we burned a vehicle of the ELTA (Greek Post Office) Courier in Vyronas, in Gmittou.

Paris, France: Eiffage on fire

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

On the night of 21-22 August we set fire to an Eiffage van in Paris (rue des Maraîchers)

Prison destroys lives, inside and also after release. It also looms as a threat against the choices of those outside. A threat to those who rebel against this order of things. It is the last bastion of this world against those who fight it, by necessity or choice.

Unfortunately, we do not have the strength to do what should be done, i.e. reduce these concrete monsters to rubble, right to the last one. But we refuse to give up, because it is through struggle, even in lesser conditions, that we can catch a glimpse of what we want: freedom and the end of exploitation.

So we are attacking, among others, the companies that get rich by building prisons or by managing them. Like Eiffage!

Santiago, Chile: Transantiago bus set on fire at the PAC + Pamphlets

Posted on 2021/08/25 - 2021/08/25 by darknights

On Sunday, August 1, 2021, a group of hooded men armed with shotguns managed to intercept the Transantiago bus, route 108 at Departamental and Galo Gonzalez.

After making the passengers and the driver get off the bus, the group set fire to the bus throwing leaflets stating: “Freedom to all political prisoners, anarchists, Mapuche, subversives and of the revolt, without conditions! Luisa Toledo and Pablo Marchant present!”

Berlin, Germany: Arson Attack on Vonovia

Posted on 2021/08/24 by darknights

In the night from 03.08.2021 to 04.08.2021, we torched Vonovia company cars in Berlin Mitte and in Lichtenberg.

Not much more needs to be said about Vonovia. They are real estate sharks and big capitalists worth billions. They are currently planning to take over Deutsche Wohnen for the third time. In capitalism, there are many responsible companies and individuals who ensure its continued existence through their existence. Vonovia, like many others, is certainly one of them.

But this arson is not a revenge action against their company policy.

It is meant to be a flaming call to do even more damage to property against the city of the rich and to fight for a society without hierarchies and authorities. In order to leave the age of exploitation and oppression behind us, the existing social tensions must be brought to escalation. The prerequisite for this is the symbiosis of theory and practice. We decide what, when is important for us, so attacks on the symbols and leaders of capitalism, among other things, can happen in the spotlight of the media or in the dark of the night. This time we have chosen the night. From an objective point of view, it is always to the advantage of politics and law enforcers if the subversives are accountable by acting in a temporally and spatially limited way. Subversion can be lived out, but only if it is not dictated by the guardians of the existing. This can also mean taking advantage of a demonstration to launch targeted attacks in order to eventually get into a confrontation with the cops, or instead of forcing a positional war against evictions, to occupy other houses. It would be fatal if the repression, the actions and the way of thinking of the authorities, would inhibit our insurgent ideas. We would become dependent on them and always react instead of deciding for ourselves what, when and how to attack or build.

This time it was a few cars, who knows what tomorrow will bring. Arson is only one of many tools that gives expression to destructive tendencies. It is up to us.

France, Paris, Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis): Smoke signals of solidarity

Posted on 2021/08/24 - 2021/09/14 by darknights

August 22

Last night we wanted to send a message of solidarity to Boris, a fellow anarchist who is in a coma because of a fire in his cell in the Nancy-Maxèville prison.

In Montreuil, gentrification is advancing by leaps and bounds with new buildings for a more affluent population attracted by the extension of the metro. We are not admirers of the poor slums and the neighborhoods eaten up by traffic, a simple form of capitalism, albeit illegal. But the labyrinth of alleys between the small self-built houses have their charm and allow other relationships between the people who live there, less dictated by money. Another relationship with the State too. The winding alleys make the video surveillance less efficient, which is also advancing in Montreuil (as everywhere in Paname*).

In this context, publicity is an important vector to convey the capitalist and authoritarian values of this society. These values are: property, consumption, work, “success”, conformism. These ideas have colonized the imagination of most of the world, including the poorest and most marginal social strata. This conformism of thought prevents us from imagining something else, another life. How can we talk about revolution to people who only dream of wealth, family, and futile gadgets that fill up their lives?

So we thought that a JC Decaux van would make a good target. The one that was parked on Ernest Savart street went up in smoke. Same thing for an Enedis van (no need to introduce it, in the most nuclearized country in the world) a little further down, rue Victor Beausse

Courage Boris!
The head high, the heart burning!
Long live anarchy!

Toulouse : Burning of a Tesla electric car, a Socorep vehicle and a Scopelec vehicle

Posted on 2021/06/24 - 2021/06/24 by darknights

We set fire to three vehicles during the night of June 16th to 17th, an electric car Tesla, a Socorep van and a Scopelec van with fire starters placed under the front wheels or on the rear wheel under the entrance of the gas tank of the vehicles.

– The Tesla because what it is made of comes from the worst extraction conditions in terms of rare earths, rare metals, plastics, metal and it is powered with electricity also produced thanks to the extractivism of uranium. This extractivism maintains many places and people under the neo-colonial dependence of the West while destroying the environment (see books “dossiers noirs” in collaboration with ‘l’association survie’ or other texts speaking of extractivism and neo-colonization).
That’s why this capitalism with a green varnish disgusts us, because it depends like the rest on an exploitation of the world for economic purposes and that its productions are absolutely not recyclable.

– The socorep van because it is a company of big buildings which participates in the extension of the cities and of the civilization while 40 000 houses are unused in Toulouse (only to speak about the houses) for so many people in the street and of sending back people exiled in their country of origin.

– The scopelec van because this company installs telecom networks and especially 5G, which participates in the addiction to technology and the society of the spectacle that puts so many people to sleep. Also this technology will connect more and more everyday objects and will allow an increased surveillance of populations and flows if it is maintained. Let’s cut off its vitality!

We want to put an end to the extension of this sickening civilization.
Let these flames spread and our anarchy with it!
