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.
On July 25th, the FBI conducted an early morning raid on a home in Portland and kidnapped a 24 year-old on federal charges related to a protest at the ICE building. They are facing up to 20 years in prison for allegedly “assaulting an officer” and damaging the facade of the ICE facility in SW Portland in early June. The FBI identified them by running a photo (in which their face was visible) through facial recognition search software. The photo was taken by Mark Graves, a photographer from the Oregonian.
Every camera is an asset to the state and a threat to those who fight back. From the professional journalist “just doing their job” to the movement livestreamer who’s “on your side,” to the protester waving their phone around for a social media post- all cameras are cops. This case is just the latest example, but there are many more that have come before. As AI and facial recognition software use expands, it is more important than ever to block, paint, and smash cameras at protests. Continue reading All Cameras are Cops (Portland, USA)
It is dark, large stones lie scattered on the fresh asphalt. Next to the new lane that is being built here, a highway stretches into the infinite black of night. The air smells of summer and instead of noisy hustle and bustle, there is only timeless silence.
I often come here to this construction site, which will one day become another expressway. Like a labyrinth, I follow the path that the large stones point out to me. It is a long walk until I reach my destination, but deep down I know that the effort is worth it – that it has been worth it every time I have come here. After I’ve left the last stone behind me, I’m standing in front of a paved hill, just like you know it from San Francisco. So I set off on the climb to finally reach my destination, the long-awaited meeting point.

Note from Informativo Anarquista:
We spread these words from Tehran to not disregard international geopolitics, especially the recent wars in the Middle East. But we want to clarify that we remain distant from pacifist vision to confront nationalist and fundamentalist wars. Anarchist antimilitarism has no reason to deny political violence. We share what some comrades who recently carried out an anti-militarist attack told us:
Furthermore we believe that speaking of “zionist militarism”, could suppose the unquestionable existence of another zionism, which we totally reject. This could signify some issues regarding anti-militarist tendencies that question war but not states. We shouldn’t lose the horizon with respect to the grotesque existence of national zionism as colonial and supremacist thought in the 21st century. As anarchists, we seek the destruction of all states through our acts, whether theocratic, zionist, socialist, progressive and many other systems that perpetuate domination.
(Iran) Tehran Beneath the Bombs: Testimony of an Anarchist
From Tehran, an anarchist activist gives testimony of the Israeli attacks, the daily chaos and the role that anarchists attempt to play between war, repression and survival. A moving account that I translated with tears in my eyes. My condolences are with those on both sides who fight for peace and freedom! With the deserters, the only war heroes!

Introduction
[…]we enter a vicious circle with mournful calls to a miserable bartering with the State one wanted to fight.
When individuals find themselves alone at night, no longer supported by “collective strength”, the arms of Morpheus transform the imprisoned comrades one wanted to support, to whom one wanted to express one’s solidarity, into a real nightmare with no escape.
So! Should we no longer show solidarity to imprisoned comrades given that it serves no end? Continue reading About Munich 2019-2025 : Petrol, Printer Ink and Paranormal Activity

Torture — the deliberate infliction of severe pain or suffering for punishment, interrogation or intimidation — is one of the tools used by the State and its allies in their war against anarchists. What individual and collective strategies can anarchists implement to prepare for, resist, and fight back against torture? This collection of texts aims to help answer this question by sharing the experiences and insights of anarchists, communists, and other militants who have been confronted with torture in the past five decades.
Torture is one of the toughest challenges that our movements can face. How to prepare for the risk of torture? How to organize so that if a comrade is captured, tortured, and talks, the risks to other comrades and to our activities are minimized? Should we commit to not talk under torture? How to not talk when faced with the most brutal physical and psychological treatments? How to deal with comrades who have talked under torture? How to fight back against torturers? How to help survivors of torture manage their pain and traumas?
We have strived to select texts that can help comrades answer these questions here and now, without relying on the enforcement of international laws or the lobbying of humanitarian NGOs. Each text is preceded by a short introduction in which we present the author and the original context of publication. Some of the texts include explicit descriptions of acts of torture.
We would like to express our gratitude to the authors of the texts, as well as to the translators who made their inclusion in this collection possible.

These pages address the excesses of repression in the Bavarian kingdom and attempt to view the repressive strikes in the context of the broader state militarization taking place. Furthermore, this publication also touches upon the history of censorship in the BRD, the spectre of “eco-anarchism” and sabotage, what actually sucks about wind turbines and how it might be possible to deal with increasing censorship measures against subversive publications in the future.
First and foremost, however, this publication is above all a declaration and expression of solidarity with the repressed anarchist projects, the imprisoned comrades M. and N., as well as all the other anarchists impacted by repression in the Bavarian kingdom.
Since 2022, there have been a series of repressive strikes against anarchists in Munich. The preliminary highlight was the arrest of the anarchists N. and M. at the end of February 2025 on charges of publishing the newspaper Zündlumpen with another person. The Munich Public Prosecutor General’s Office decided to prosecute and censor Zündlumpen and its alleged editors as a criminal organization. The crimes committed by the criminal association of the Zündlumpen editorial team are to have published and distributed incitement, counseling, and condoning of criminal acts.
If it is a crime to endorse violence against this murderous system, then we are all guilty as charged.

From February 2019 to September 2021, “Anarchistisches Wochenblatt Zündlumpen” [“Zündlumpen Anarchist Periodical”] was published in Munich, at first on a weekly basis, and at increasingly greater intervals over time, but also with an ever increasing page count. It was never really clear whether Zündlumpen was more of a street paper or a discussion paper for anarchists – it included elements of both approaches, depending on the issue, sometimes veering more in one direction and sometimes the other. The texts were both introductory and in-depth, new and old, translations, analysis and commentary on current local events as well as happenings from further afield, communiqués, instructions, discussion texts and polemics as well as news from Munich and all over the world, from torched e-scooters in a Munich park to prison riots in Italy, along with photos of graffiti – the “Graffiti of the Week” – were wildly compiled.
The Munich paper underwent quite a few developments throughout its existence. Apart from several radical changes in design and format, it evolved from a weekly local anarchist paper encompassing various leftist tendencies which covered one A3 page, into a discussion paper of dozens to sometimes even hundreds of pages in length, starting more or less at the beginning of “covid”. It was notorious for its combative style, which formulated a radical critique of the covid measures and all of their supporters, whether they call themselves anarchist or not, and it reinforced and developed this critique over time with ever more detailed and in-depth analyses.
In one of Europe’s most densely populated regions, the unceasing flow of traffic, along roads, tracks, pipelines and cables, is a prerequisite for the functioning of the mega machine that holds us all hostage, leaving only destruction in its wake. When the smooth functioning of this infrastructure breaks down, even for a few hours, it can have a cascading effect, interrupting the logistics required by the war machine, capitalism, and the state.
This past month traffic in the Randstad was a bit more chaotic than usual.
Major road closures aggravated the usual rush hour traffic; half of Amsterdam’s ring road was closed for the weekend of the 21/22 of June for an overhyped celebration of the city’s 750 year anniversary.

Last week, the French state implemented a huge police detachment to carry out raids on undocumented persons.
After being rounded up these people were taken to various CRA – Administrative Detention Centres. Without these detention centres, its abhorrent policy with the exiles would be more difficult to carry out. Continue reading Bouchemaine, Maine-et-Loire, France : Starry windows for Vinci!
Two years of Switch-Off – an evaluation
April 2024
It has been two years since we first spoke. The call was made in the middle of the ongoing strategy debate in the climate movement. At that time, after Hambi, Danni and directly after Lützerath, the potential of mass actions seemed to have been exhausted for many. In the context of these and other climate protest and mass actions, we wanted to propose a project with a focus on decentralized and direct actions.
At this point in time, the view of and fear of the impending climate collapse made it clear to us that radical methods and an intensification of revolutionary practice within the climate movement were urgently needed.
We formulated anti-state, autonomous, anarchist perspectives on sabotage and wanted to incorporate these more strongly.
In terms of content, we focused on an anti-colonial and technology-critical analysis. We were inspired by indigenous struggles and their practices resisting against (neo-)colonial exploitation and the destruction of their territories. Colonial exploitation is not only part of the racist ideological history of the West, but continues to be part of the economic and imperialist expansion efforts of large corporations such as Deutsche Bahn with the Tren Maya megaproject. With our analysis and call, we stood in solidarity with international struggles. In the ongoing destruction of the earth, we saw the necessity of attacking industrial infrastructures and the possibilities of a strengthening international points of reference in these struggles.

“An extra eye on the network”: how SNCF is using drones to monitor its railway tracks
Le Figaro, May 3, 2025
The rendezvous is at 11pm in the middle of nowhere, in an undisclosed location. There, on the eve of major departures for the long weekend, the SNCF is organizing a rather special surveillance operation, using a drone at the intersection of several high-speed railway lines. High-quality equipment resembling a small plane, capable of flying more than 100 meters above the ground and more than ten kilometers away from its pilot, making it invisible to even the sharpest eyes. Equipped with a thermal sensor and able to see “as in daylight” despite the advanced darkness, it can spot the slightest intruder as well as confirm that the catenaries and other technical installations are in a good condition. “The advantage of the drone is that it can monitor a large area in a very short time, and possibly detect anything abnormal,” explains SNCF Réseau’s Executive Vice President Projects, Maintenance and Operations Olivier Bancel.
The aim of this operation? To prevent the slightest risk in these tense times, but above all to communicate the SNCF’s ability to take advantage of new technologies to protect its 28,000 kilometers of track. As we watch, the exercise begins shortly before midnight, and the drone takes off. A few meters away, the aircraft spots an unmarked car in the vicinity of an SNCF critical juncture that, on the face of it, has no business being there. On the ground, the telepilot indicated this disturbing presence to the rail safety authorities, who immediately took over and sent a team to check it out. Five minutes later, the verdict was in: “all’s well”. “That’s the end of the exercise for us,” says railway safety officer Sébastien Conseil, team leader for the evening. Although this was just a practical exercise, the SNCF assures us that it carries out “doubt verification almost every time a drone is deployed”.
