For Kyriakos

How many conversations about the rebellion did we not have time to finish, how many friendly glances did we lose but also how many disagreements did we leave half way? Look, something happened that I never expected, you probably got tired of talking sitting on that step and decided to get up and never sit down again. It seems you heard the footsteps of the rebels and decided to follow them into the fire. You too took the step into History, along with all those romantic souls who chose to attack the horrible world of bosses, without fear of death, only with the beauty of violence.

And now all those frightened petit bourgeois, with their awful morals, will start talking hatefully about you because you escaped the future that awaits anyone who doesn’t break the chains of their lot. From now on, however, you will make them tremble because from a room there in Ampelokipoi a noise was heard so loud that it was able to break forever the quiet of social peace. They will try to bury you under the rubble of social oblivion but you will escape them once again on the paths of freedom.

The void of your loss seems huge right now, but whatever it is, it will be filled by all those moments you gave to those who knew you. It will be filled with all the words we wrote together for some text. It will be filled with all those moments when you came late to some of the meetings that we probably set early. It will be filled with all those times you bridged our differences so we could go down the road together. It will be filled with all those moments when we were side by side on some demo and you calmed our fears.

So we close our eyes to remember your face and then we see your smile, and we realize that it looks like all those rebels who looked death in the face because they were sure of the life they lived. And it is strange how much your look is similar, it will probably be because you know that this world does not work for us and you are smiling at us because you made the decision to change it. That’s probably how Ravachol must have been smiling as he walked towards the guillotine singing. That is probably why the smile of all those who cannot and will never be able to live a life like slaves should look like this.

But remember that one day we will destroy this rotten world of power and those who hear the sound of its crash will know that you also participated in its destruction.

Goodbye comrade, goodbye friend, we will miss your smile, but we will carry it with us forever on the roads of fire…

Fire to the world of power

The passion for destruction is the passion for creation


 Athens : Claim for the arson attack on Friday 08/11/2024 at the rectorship of ΕΜΠ (polytechnic university)  in Zografou.

Power means the total denial of freedom. Coercion is the ultimate measure used by who decides to rule. So we are talking about a world that was built on this fundamental choice. This choice of the ruling class invites its slaves to implement it. The rectorship of ΕΜΠ is one more cog in the machine, one of the threads of the institutional fabric of the state, whose role, on an ideological level, is to sterilize, increase productivity, create an “excellent” skilled worker who does not look any further when it comes to a better career choice. In short, the ideological role of the university in the neoliberal bourgeois state is to present the “governance of science” as the only way societies have to organize themselves.

The means that the university has to carry out this role is the monopoly on knowledge, or rather the cultivation of the illusion that it really monopolizes knowledge.

Anarchist Toby Shone is Free! (UK)

Anarchist Toby Shone Free in the Forest!

Toby Shone walked free from HMP Garth on Monday 11th November after serving his entire sentence. He was released at 830am and picked up by friends and comrades. He has no licence conditions or restrictions.

The State made a few last desperate attempts to exercise their spite and misery at losing Toby, including removing another close comrade from his phone list four days before his release, but it was to no avail.

Nothing is over, everything continues.

Colorado Broadband Outages Being Blamed on Vandalism, Fires (USA)

On Sunday, Denver-area broadband customers from multiple companies experienced outages that the companies are blaming on fires and vandalism.

Chris Schroll lives in Parker and was impacted. His service is back but he received an email from BAM Broadband that said in part:

“We have been given more information from our upstream carrier regarding the damage and we wanted to share this with you. It has been reported that the cause of the outage was vandalism. Handholds/Manholes have been lit on fire randomly across the state for a few days and happened again last night along I-225.”

Berg (Germany): incendiary attack on a wind turbine

On Sunday night, September 9, the waxing moon had just formed its first quarter over Lake Starnberg, some twenty kilometers southwest of Munich. Was this enough for the fish to discern the thick smoke coming from the wind farm that has been standing for ten years in the forest above the village of Berg, on the right bank of the lake? In any case, they won’t breathe a word to the investigators from the Upper Bavarian Criminal Investigation Department, tasked with solving the arson attack on one of the giants planted there at around 3am. Firstly, as a matter of dignity. Secondly, as a matter of principle, the limpid waters of the Ice Age have seen many others, such as the lifeless body of King Ludwig II, or the first summers of his cousin “Sissi”, before she was lightened of her burden on the shores of another lake by the sharpened blade of an anarchist.

What happened on that cold autumn night in the forest between a freeway and the eastern shore of Lake Starnberg? According to Bürgerwind Berg GmbH, the engineering office in charge of technical support for the Alpine wind farm operator, a first warning message was sent to them by the safety sensors on a wind turbine, followed by a second at around 3:59 a.m., which recited in code: “smoke in the nacelle”. In other words, in the machine room, some 150 meters up on the rotor side. The facts became much simpler as soon as the sleuths were able to get to the scene. According to the police report, unknown persons attacked the massive door of the wind tower with an angle grinder, cutting an opening of “40 by 60 centimetres”, before introducing “previously ignited objects” inside the structure.

“…for I obeyed only my heart, which was torn by the suffering of all
proletarians, the unfortunate, the hunted and the enslaved outcasts ”
Germaine Berton

These are the moments when big words seem inappropriate and presumptuous, when life in all its intensity makes us realize how short our path can be. When we speak up at such a moment, we hope to offer empathy, solidarity, perhaps a little solace to those who want it.

It is these moments that make us painfully aware that the life we have chosen is not only intense, exhausting, dangerous and at the same time beautiful, but also very fleeting. When a person with revolutionary ideas dies fighting for them, it is important to take a moment.
