From equals to equals

Against identitarian authoritarianism

PDF IN ENGLISH:

We are some anarchist comrades who took part in the “Sabotiamo la guerra” assembly[1]. With this writing, we want to speak out on a troubling episode that occurred at our assembly, (not the only one of this kind, but the most serious) but above all on a forma mentis and an ideology that now make such episodes systematic. If we present ourselves in such a circumscribed manner, it is because “Sabotiamo la guerra” is precisely an assembly made from time to time by those who participate in it, and we cannot speak on behalf of all its many past, present, and future participants. Having said that, let us begin to explain ourselves.

On 11, 12, and 13 October 2024, the “three-day” discussion “Sfidare la vertigine” (defy vertigo), organized by our assembly and dedicated precisely to some of the vertiginous but inescapable questions posed by the present (starting with those related to the war, which constitutes no more and no less than the historical horizon), was to take place at squat “Villa Occupata” in Milan. The “three days” was postponed sine die, indeed canceled, due to the opposition of some (we emphasize: some) frequenters of the Villa, who accused a comrade participating in this path of rape, and the assembly itself of supporting him. It would have been simpler and more convenient for us to ignore this episode and carry on, as we have done on other occasions when similar attempts have been made to thwart our initiatives due to the presence of this comrade on our path. Instead, our consciences told us to express ourselves.

Colombelles (Calvados): cutting the fiber to the campus of the military-industrial complex (France)

Colombelles: arson attack on Effiscience technology campus

Indymedia Lille, June 2025

On a weekend marked by the widening scope of warfare in the Middle East, and by the Paris Air Show, we have decided to disrupt activity at the Effiscience technology innovation cluster in Colombelles, which brings together a number of companies from the military-industrial complex on the same “campus”: Safran Data Systems, Sotraban, NXP semiconductors, Telit Wireless Solution, Nucleopolis, CLARA, Probent Technology, Atos & Bull technologies, Eff’Innov Technologies…

On the night of June 22/23, we set fire to two fiber optic cabinets located on the rue du Bocage at the site. The flames were beginning to rise when we left. We can imagine that internet connection will be difficult in the area tomorrow morning.

CALL TO ACTION: CAPTURE THE FLOCK (USA)

That’s right. We’re playing the game where you dodge pigs, bootlickers, and snitches to steal their treasures while keeping your teammates from getting tagged. Maybe you’ve heard of Flock, the expressly evil surveillance company that’s been putting a creepy red (or sometimes green) eye (sauron-style) on every street corner to support ICE (https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/), extend the police state into Black and brown neighborhoods to hasten gentrification (https://www.flocksafety.com/articles/security-camera-system-specifically-for-neighborhoods), prosecute people seeking abortions (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/she-got-abortion-so-texas-cop-used-83000-cameras-track-her-down), incarcerate people taking action against fascist car salesmen (https://www.motorbiscuit.com/tesla-vehicles-car-showroom-georiga/)… the list of evil doing goes on.
This doesn’t even include the amount of fucking water and rare-earth minerals it takes to build their not-cute data centers and drone and camera factories.

Labège (Haute-Garonne): Before daybreak (France)

IAATA, June 2025

On the night of the 25th, a cell tower in Labège, south of Toulouse, was set on fire. A humble contribution to the global resistance effort against the war effort of states and industrialists here and abroad.

The intensification of digital capacity within and outside of Europe is one of the many projects for the war efforts of the countries in the transatlantic alliance. The aim is to establish a digital stronghold.

MESSAGE TO THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT

PDF: A4 | Letter

Throughout the last decade, both in Europe and beyond, a new generation of activists has brought the climate movement to the forefront. Groups such as Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for Future, and Ende Gelände have succeeded in breaking out of the sidelines, convincing millions to commit themselves in defence of the planet. It wasn’t so long ago that few were even aware of the possibility of climate catastrophe – nowadays the very opposite is the case. I have no intention to downplay these achievements. What I do want to draw attention to, however, is that climate activism has made little or no difference to something very important, to the only thing which really counts: to actually lowering the amount of carbon emitted by humans across the planet. Such emissions continue to increase every year, as do average global temperatures, weather catastrophes, and rates of species extinction. Earning recognition from across society has not been enough. In all of its core aims, the climate movement remains a decisive failure.

I have a suggestion as to why this is the case. Because the climate movement remains stuck in the assumption that those in power must be convinced to bring about the necessary changes for us. Despite utilising a direct action aesthetic, most climate activism focuses on getting media attention (including mainstream social media, which is as much an extension of capitalist power as television or the newspapers) in order to achieve social recognition, ultimately in order to lobby politicians. However, the political elite will never be able to solve this crisis, because the system which grants them power is also a system which literally thrives on wrecking the planet. What we call “the economy” is an out-of-control megamachine which deems anything short of unlimited expansion (a process which entails ecological devastation) some kind of disaster. No matter their affiliation or the promises they offer, all the politicians and corporations pledge allegiance to the backward logic of this world-eating monster.

Some would argue that certain elements of the climate movement escape this concern. Contrary to Extinction Rebellion and Fridays for Future, anti-capitalist groups such as Ende Gelände do not make explicit demands of politicians, instead focusing on disrupting critical infrastructure directly. However, we cannot suppose that peacefully occupying a coal mine (or its arteries) for a few hours is a realistic way of shutting it down for good; this is just another way of getting the media interested. Such actions make no sense unless one hopes, consciously or otherwise, that they might serve to convince politicians to step in and reform the economy for us. Other mass organisations (for example, Soulèvements de la Terre/Earth Uprisings) might seem like an improvement, given that they favour sabotaging ecocidal infrastructure, and in this sense encourage something resembling direct action (albeit directed by a secretive vanguard). Again, however, this might only be a more seductive way of receiving media attention; for such attacks would be far more effective if performed by small, autonomous groups who strike under the cover of darkness, especially where the authorities do not expect it.

Call for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2025

We call for actions during Week of Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners 23 until 30 August 2025!

Against Prison Society, Towards Connection

Standing at the exterior of the prison we are greeted with the stark reality of alienation and separation. A wall, a fence, guard towers, surveillance cameras, concrete boxes and steel cages aimed at keeping the accused and “guilty” separate from the rest of society, concepts of rehabilitation and repentance constructed from ideologies of States in order to hold onto and secure their power, to freeze territories with fixed national identities and to punish whatever falls outside of their notions of legality, progress, outside of their morality and capitalist value. The thing is, once we stand outside the walls of the prison we realize that it is a touchable construct. It is a wall, it is concrete, it is material. Those who keep it functioning are living beings… Yes, prisons isolate us, but they isolate us as much as we let them, as soon as we accept them. The walls become fixed and permanent to those of us on the outside as soon as we forget and accept the separation they impose. Those on the inside of the boxes can’t forget, as it is everyday they are confronted with the harsh reality of life on the inside. As long as states exist, there will be prisons, and we will find ourselves within their walls.

It is in the carrying forth of memory that we continue the struggle and life of comrades who have died before us, we carry the ideas and actions of those separated by cages and concrete, creating continuity and connection in the endless acts of resistance that make up a life in search of freedom. Prisons and the struggles that take place within their walls are a constant contribution to this collective memory of resistance.

Komotini city , Greece: Memorial gesture for comrades LUPI, TORTUGA, BELEN by Utopia AD

Memorial gesture for comrades LUPI, TORTUGA, BELEN
by Utopia AD

Hanging a banner in the centre of Komotini and specifically at the Municipal Library in memory of Luciano Balboa “Lupi”, Luciano Pitronello “Tortuga” and Belén Navarrete on the occasion of the call for a black August.

The memory of the comrades who have gone only remains indelible when we continue the struggle they left behind, even more decisively. The insurgent revolutionaries who have gone do not deserve memorial services and funerals, but an intensification of the anti-authoritarian struggle until Anarchy.
