international call for the revolutionary union of anarchists by Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis. (Greece)

International call for the revolutionary union of anarchists

First part, introductory: 12th of February 2012

On 12 February 2012 the last big battle of the anti-austerity movement (in the Greek territory) took place. Other open battles followed in the following years, but after that day, when the movement realized that it had reached the limits of its power, it did not revive. The objective of this longstanding insurrectionary movement, which was to cancel the parliament during the passing of the controversial laws or even to occupy it, was lost for good during the popular attempt on 12/2/2012. It was the biggest militant gathering since 1973. Half a million people, once again, but for what would be the last time, surrounded the central institution of the regime and after being repelled by chemical bombardment, we made persistent efforts to reach the target again. The state’s military machine, without resorting to the use of standard weapons of warfare, overpowered a huge yet unarmed mass of people.

The turning point of the anti-austerity movement became a critical juncture for various poles of the anti-authoritarian movement that led them to prioritize the question of the revolutionary program and the question of organization. We all recognized the impasse of one-dimensional insurrectionism, that is, of the deferral of all questions to the dynamics of the insurgent mass and to the moment of insurrection. However, the road to overcoming all the culminated weaknesses remained blurred. The program and the political organization became the new points of deferral for all critical issues, while denouncing insurrectionary practice.

GATHERING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHISTS ACCUSED IN SCRIPTA SCELERA OPERATION – MASSA, APRIL 1, 2025

August 8th, 2023. Following a request for ten arrests in prison, Scripta Scelera operation leads to nine precautionary measures against as many anarchists accused for the publication and distribution of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly ‘Bezmotivny’. A proceeding with which the State intended to ‘normalise’ the precautionary measures for charges concerning revolutionary publications. Scripta Scelera represents another ‘chapter’ in the war policies of the Italian state, in continuity among other things with recent repressive manoeuvres aimed at removing political practicability from ever wider social sectors.

I will not be intimidated.

lukasborl

In the past, I have published an extensive analysis of how specific individuals and groups try to isolate me, attack my private life, they’re threatening my safety and sabotage the Anti-militarist activities I engage in. One of the examples given was a description of how a member of the Trhlina infoshop and the Anarchistická federace (Anarchist federation) told a friend of mine that I was at risk of a strong reaction from militant anti-fascists. In other words, the person from Trhlina and the Anarchistická federace was threatening me. At that time it was not yet clear whether the threat would come true. Now it is clear. On Saturday, February 8, 2025, I was physically attacked by one such militant anti-fascist in Prague’s Club 007.

What happened?

The attacker waited until most of my friends had left the club, followed me into the toilets, where he punched me several times in the face. No, I’m not surprised he chose such an insidious method. I’ve seen so much scheming from his cronies that I expect nothing but meanness, unscrupulousness and hypocrisy from them now.

Interview between synthesis anarchists Boina Anarquista in Chile and JURNAL ANARKI in Indonesia.

Here are two interviews by JURNAL ANARKI, anarchist publication in
Indonesia, and the band La Lira Libertaria in Chile and the
neo-platformists Boina Anarquista. These are the first English
translations. We hope you find them interesting, please feel free to
republish and translate etc. We think it important to create ongoing
communications between different territories and tendencies. For
international solidarity and insurrection.

1. What motivates you to create this counter-information newspaper?

A: Hello, good day. Well, the platform began as a newspaper, edited precariously with Word. What motivated us was that nearly 11 years ago, in 2013, when the waves of the student movement in Chile were still present, we started researching and came across a book about anarchist propaganda in Chile. We were amazed by how much of it existed in the 1920s.

Around that time, there were other physical-format newspapers: El Surco (2009-2013), El Amanecer (from Chillán, in central-southern Chile) (2011-2013), El Sol Ácrata (from Calama, northern Chile; 2011-2024), Acracia (from Valdivia, far south of Chile; 2012-2019) and Solidaridad, a Libertarian-Communist newspaper, aligned with the branch closest to especifismo or platformism (2010-2016).

It was within this context that we decided to found a newspaper called Periódico La Boina (2014), which only released 7 issues. Financial problems, time constraints, and lack of coordination led to its discontinuation, but we noticed that the website’s visits kept growing, reaching over 100,000 per year.

Heraklion, Greece: Incendiary attack against a bus belonging to the GEK TERNA conglomerate

What a beautiful sight a burning bus is!

The GEK TERNA conglomerate counts among its losses a staff transport bus, on 24/01/2025, due to arson. A giant company that is responsible for the greatest disasters in the Cretan environment, the Greek territory, but also internationally.

It does business and secures its profits by destroying forests and leveling mountains. It uproots people, animals and plants.

Capitalism has its own ethics: profit above all else. Arguments, logic and justice are unnecessary. As long as they’re profitable, they’ll keep going, even if they leave behind nothing but debris.

Munich (Germany): barbecue of police vans

barbecue of police vans

In the wealthy capital of Bavaria, Friday night (January 25) was anything but ordinary. Munich’s mayor, Dieter Reiter, who has seen it all from the perch where he administers his subjects, even issued an official statement declaring himself “horrified”. Does his statement refer to a war in the Middle East, or to the techno-industrial civilization poisoning the planet? Not in the least. But it’s nonetheless a nightmare that disrupted the sleep of good society: a nocturnal fire managed to make its way to their doorstep. Then it ravaged the tools of the lackeys charged with protecting them.

It was around 2.40 a.m., in the outlying district of Allach-Untermenzing, that zealous citizens began alerting the fire department to a gigantic fire in progress at the police dog brigade. By the time they arrived, the 23 police vans parked there were already completely engulfed in flames, while the (empty) brigade building was losing its windows to the heat. It took the Munich fire department almost an hour to extinguish the fire, while some 50 cops combed the area in vain for suspects.

South London, UK : Film Screening and Discussion about Ferguson touched the sky, at the touchpaper anarchist library.

Touch the Sky, Film Screening and Discussion

After Michael Brown was murdered by police with his hands in the air, some of the excluded and oppressed population of ferguson touched the sky. The revolt of the agonised and enraged suburb – previously known for its quietness during the 1992 unrest – led to an uprising that spread across the city of St Louis and far beyond. The participants were not deterred by self-appointed or media-groomed experts, with repressive or socially-conscious programmes for getting back in line.

Instead, they actively posed the question of freedom and dignity against the daily murderers and violators, in destructive confrontations against the enforces, urban architecture, commerce and circulation of control. This found-footage film takes up those questions which remain vital, even if they can’t be answered on a screen.

Solidarity Means Attack

February 2025, ticket machines and entrance gates were smashed with hammers in Amsterdam (Netherlands)

In the night of 4 to 5 February, ticket machines and entrance gates were smashed with hammers at the Jan van Galenstraat metro station and Lelylaan metro/train station in Amsterdam and the message “Thales kills” was left with paint.

Thales is a global military company (52 percent military) with production and research facilities in 68 countries on all continents. The head office is located in Paris.

Thales is responsible for supplying and maintaining the ticket machines and access gates of public transport in the Netherlands and can therefore be found everywhere and in just as many places you and I can break them.

Chile: CASO SUSARON STATEMENT, DECEMBER 2024

Below is a translation of two of the comrades prisoners from Caso Susaron, translated from Spanish:

We hope that our first words represent a push of strength for those who are doubting whether the value of their beautiful actions and their consequences make sense or not.

Two years and almost two months after our captivity, we continue to reaffirm that the path of war and confrontation, with all its bitterness and misfortunes, continues to be the only dignified way of life that we understand as valid.

UPDATE:
In recent months there have been several developments in our case.
Comrade Ru was sentenced to 5 years in prison, with the prosecution and the court denying the possibility of a supervised release on the grounds that he is a danger to society, with no intention of reinsertion.

(Chile) Considerations On Freedom: Writing of Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar

December 24, 2024 / informativoanarquista

sent by email

Considerations On Freedom.
Writing of Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar

Freedom is, without a doubt, a fundamental principle within the various anarchist discourses and tendencies. It constitutes an touchstone from which proposals, projects and practices are elaborated, on the basis that the existence of a centralized power determines the different oppressions that affect communities and individuals. It is the State or any other expression of power which ultimately creates and strengthens this system of exploitation along with all of its consequences. Its tentacles, scopes and manifestations point in multiple – increasingly imperceptible – directions, covering practically all of the aspects of people’s lives.

Understanding freedom as a permanent process of taking back our lives step by step, in which we strive to eliminate any vestige of authority that tries to coerce us as well as those found in our own behaviours, doesn’t constitute an end point to which we should aspire to arrive. Therefore, it’s very likely that freedom as an established entity, as a culminating point of a path, doesn’t exist except maybe as a daydream. I believe our gaze shouldn’t be focused on this, but rather on the process of struggle contained in this concept. As Don Quijote put it, “the road is more important than the inn.” It’s the construction of relations that aim to be free and the destruction of any expression of authority that should be the center of our preoccupations and undertakings, since it’s through deepening daily practice that we seize moments of freedom.

Reportback on the Night Demo at mcgill on February 5th (Canada)

Yesterday in Tiohtia:ke, forty anarchists (and our friends 🙂 ) attacked the buildings of mcgill university. Armed with rudimentary tools, we succeeded in destroying all windows that stood in our way. With the help of hammers, rocks, and glass bottles, we vandalized this symbol of the colonial capitalist system. Within 15 minutes, we smashed over 30 windows on multiple pavillions of the institution, as well as the electronic locks of the administration building. An exam in progress during the protest was cancelled for 350 students. According to a mcgill spokesperson, the damages are estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two comrades who were momentarily detained by the failed pigs of a private security agency, subcontracted by mcgill, were gloriously de-arrested. The police response was slow and ineffective, the protest led to no arrests or injuries. We dispersed completely before the arrival of the spvm.

Graffitis were left behind denouncing the acquisition of the royal vic hospital (site of unmarked graves) by mcgill for $700 million, and its complicity in the genocide in Palestine. We also denounce the desecration of the tree of peace, planted on the lower field by decolonial activists this summer, as well as the historical complicity of mcgill in psychiatric experimentation on Indigenous children, and the transphobia and racism of mcgill’s administration. For us, mcgill is nothing but a symbol of a colonial and capitalist system, of which we call for the complete destruction.

Düsseldorf (Germany): the “Angry Birds Commando” and collapse…

[Note of Sans Nom: In Germany’s seventh-largest city, Düsseldorf, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, the “Angry Birds Commando” is a regular topic of conversation.

In August 2024, for example, they claimed responsibility for setting fire to railway signal cables in Mettmann, adding to their previous sabotages against rail traffic: one in Düsseldorf in January 2024, and five others in the same city claimed in May 2023. And since the angry birds can also be generous, last September they published a little manual entitled “Kabel anzünden für Beginner” [“Setting fire to cables for beginners”], which contains a number of homemade delay techniques.

But let’s move on to more recent news: on Thursday night, shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday January 24, a fire broke out in a cable shaft near Eller station, a district in the south-east of Düsseldorf, interrupting rail traffic on the city’s most important freight line, as well as passenger line S1 between Düsseldorf and Solingen. This time, while the Angry Birds Commando’s communiqué no. 3 was written in rhyme, the one published the following day on de.indymedia and entitled “Switch off Deutsche Bahn – Communiqué no. 4” is in the form of an open letter. 

Below is a translation, which develops its own vision of collapse, as a contribution to the ongoing debates within the revolutionary movement.]

On Friday morning (January 24), we used tried-and-tested methods to take Düsseldorf’s most important freight line out of service for at least 12 hours. For at least 24 hours, its use was only possible with severe restrictions. In addition to the immediate economic damage, we would like to draw your attention to the following appeal. We would also like to apologize to the travelers affected, and hope that at least a few commuters were able to enjoy a day off as a result.
