Issue 9

Dear readers,

The latest issue of the paper L’Urlo della Terra is about to come out and we hope we’ll have it ready for distribution in mid-July.

We ask you to support us, if you can, earlier than the usual time required for dispatching the paper and sending a contribution. This will help us to meet the not small printing expenses and those for distributing the paper in Italy, abroad and among not a few prisoners.

Contact us also for a wider distribution of the paper in your area: libraries, circles, info centres… and for benefit initiatives.

We are available for presentations and discussions on the contents of the paper, in public and open places where good thought is nourished.

Warm greetings and thank you

The editors

Over the past month the need for discussion with comrades from other countries has intensified; exchanges with like-minded people also across borders is revealing itself to be fundamental for having a broader perception of what is going on. Even if we cannot get an exact overview from these discussions, they certainly help us to look beyond our own small surroundings. They are often purely individual evaluations or those of small collectives.

Often a perception emerges of being unable to maintain an autonomous discourse against those who express reactionary or purely “conspiracy-theorist” conceptions of society in the streets; fear of falling into the “denialist” cauldron has frequently been blocking comrades from intervening in the streets, or has pushed them to contain the fascist presence with antifascist speeches alone. In a few words, this is what comrades from some northern European cities told us. Another problem arises from the difficulty of intervening with proper discourses, given the complexity of the problems that the reality surrounding us is posing us, the unpreparedness in the face of such vast thematics.

The phrase ‘it’s difficult’ is often echoed. On this site we have already expressed the fact that over the years anarchists have expressed themselves in a radical and articulated way on issues that are indeed complex such as GMOs, vaccines, nuclear power, various harmful sciences, but also on justice, self-management, health, concepts which are no less important given the extent of their impact on human life and relations between individuals; if we never backed down in the critique of the new nocivities that capital has put in front of us gradually, perhaps we have never sufficiently addressed the problem of imagining a society without prisons, courts and other authoritarian structures. We have always brought out our best abilities to succeed in crushing the arguments of the bosses, technicians, politicians and priests. We never lacked the courage to take uncomfortable, minority positions, which have repeatedly hit the nail on the head of what is happening in this historical phase of humanity. Often our evaluations were not wrong but well-founded. It would be nice to say unfortunately, but reality is throwing the truth of the situation in our faces.

No GREEN PASS… sure! But also No Capitalism, No Patriarchy, No God, No Borders, No Cops, No State…

It is difficult to insert oneself clearly within a public discourse when the world of communication has trained us (and dumbed us down) to choose and/or shout only “Yes!” and “NO!”: just like the binary system of the machines that rule our lives. Like football fans in a stadium.

And so behind a slogan as direct as it is reduced, such as “NO GREEN PASS”, there are dozens of very different nuances, even in opposition to one another, and we are taking the liberty of alerting those who, in all sincerity, are coming out into the streets against this umpteenth measure of cop-like control, which has nothing to do with “being healthy”. If the method of organization through social networks can also make these initiatives extremely horizontal (for example the revolts after the murder of George Floyd in the USA), on the other hand the vagueness of the web allows politicians/demagogues to camouflage themselves. (Our choice in this respect remains that of seeing one another, talking to one another, knowing one another, without schema).

———

We are relaunching solidarity with Andreas Krebs, who is facing a very difficult situation in the prison of Secondigliano (Naples), all the more so as he is seriously ill. We learned about his situation from an imprisoned anarchist comrade who spent some time in jail with Andreas in Germany, and we started corresponding with him (Andreas speaks and reads Italian fluently but has some trouble with writing).

Since this rather outdated summary that we are reproducing here from a blog in solidarity with him, his health condition has deteriorated further and his lawyer has confirmed that the court of Naples has repeatedly refused to accept claims submitted by the defence up to September last year, demanding acknowledgement of the incompatibility of his health situation with imprisonment. Meantime Andreas has been waiting for a biopsy which was ordered urgently over a year ago.

Letter

In February 2019 I signed the declaration that I submitted at a review trial for operation Scintilla. My responsibility for writing the text is entirely my own. The piece in question presents numerous problems, the most serious certainly that linked to the refusal of the alleged indiscriminate nature of certain practices which unquestionably belong to the history of the anarchist movement. The phrase in question is: “the idea or the will to harm ‘an unspecified number of people’ such as could be office secretaries, employees or passers-by, does not belong to us in any way”.

At the time of elaboration of the text I firmly believed that I was capable of expressing myself, that I was able to take a stand about my life, accept or refuse the accusations and profiles constructed upon me by the prosecutor. I expressed what I thought sincerely, as if I could do that without any problem. As an anarchist individuality I don’t belong to any group or court category, I have my own way of thinking and, reasoning superficially, I said to myself: “why can’t I express it?”.

Almost two and a half years have passed since, after only 19 days’ prison – I’m telling you – 19 days, you decided to leave a declaration in a review trial, it was 26/2/19.

When I got to know of your decision at the time, sorrow and anger resurfaced as they did when the texts entitled “dotting i’s” and“I burabacio” made their appearance.

I ask myself and ask you: you declare you are anarchists and revolutionaries, you practice conflictuality in the neighbourhoods in daily life, you live in or frequent squatted places, you organize or take part in gatherings outside prisons, detention centres for migrants, benefits; but what do you talk about on those occasions?!

The pamphlet Fuorirotta. Raccolta di testi sulla rivolta di Genova e su chi cercò di governarla is out

Info and orders: chrysaora@autistici.org

From the introduction:

Where to start?

Memory can stay alive, without becoming a symbol or liturgy, as long as it remains linked to a vital desire for permanent conflictuality, self-management of the struggle and attack. If acting becomes doing, a simple repetition of schemas disconnected from a more complex project, then we might as well give up. Already such a big part of our lives is losing any sense so increasing the emptiness around us only means harming ourselves alone.
