Around 3 a.m. on Sunday night, September 2, employees of a small company called the fire department to report a fire at their neighbor’s premises. Their neighbor, in the Detmoldstraße industrial park to the north of Munich, is none other than a huge factory: the Max Bögl Concrete Plant, which has been covering the world in its filth since 1929 and, according to its own figures, employs 6,500 people at 40 sites worldwide.

On site, the firefighters were quickly dismayed. The flames were engulfing the production site in various places. On one side, six concrete transport trucks were ablaze, on the other an excavator, and finally, high in the sky, the company’s conveyor belt lit up the night. Despite the general alarm sounded by the first firefighters, who were joined by some fifty colleagues, the fire continued to spread, and the conveyor belt fire eventually reached the top of the mixing silo, starting to eat away at it, at the same time as several blocks of compressed cardboard from a nearby waste disposal site began to smell a bit scorched. It wasn’t until 6.30 a.m. that the sabotage against the concrete plant, which caused millions of euros worth of damage, was finally extinguished.

In the Bavarian context, needless to say, not only did the investigators immediately emphasize the arson aspect of the fire, particularly in view of the number of scattered fires, but they also referred to an “extremist context”, pointing out that “in the past, fires have occurred on several occasions in and around Munich, notably against construction sites, geothermal and railway installations and cell towers. The most recent of these was a rail-mounted machine set on fire in the Munich district. The Munich public prosecutor’s office has entrusted the investigations to the Raute specialized investigation group, which has already been responsible for previous cases focusing on the “radical extreme left”.

As for concrete multinational Max Bögl, whose motto “Progress is built on ideas” is waved from Shanghai to Amsterdam, and from Bucharest to Berlin on every one of its excrements (including the Tesla factory in 2020 in the latter city), all that’s left for him to do is grumble about a far more subversive meaning of the word “ideas”. At least, if we are to believe an old revolutionary, who precisely concluded his text “The Reaction in Germany” with a famous phrase, which he would explain a few years later as follows: “The negative passion for destruction is far from sufficient to raise the revolutionary cause to the desired level; but without it, this cause is inconceivable, even impossible, for there can be no revolution without profound and passionate destruction, a saving and fertile destruction, precisely because from it, and only through it, new worlds are created and birthed”…
