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…

Against the Silicon Forest (USA)

LETTER

Silicon Forest (n): A high-tech industrial corridor in the Portland Metro area, primarily Beaverton and Hillsboro, known for its concentration of tech companies fabricating and applying semiconductors such as Intel, Tektronix, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and more.

Introduction

The speed of technological advancement feels like a train that’s off the rails. What seemed like a distant dystopia even just a few years ago has passed into the regular order of the present day, whether with a bang or subtly, without most of us even noticing. A degree of skepticism and nervousness towards this dystopia in progress is permitted and even affirmed in the mainstream, as long as no one starts to question the trajectory of technological advancement which those who dreamed up this virtual reality want us to see as the unstoppable path of progress. They want us to see their digital world as being all around us, and, at the same time, nowhere at all.

Postcard from Clandestinity, Greetings from an Anarchist on the run.

Dear comrades along the way,

An annual greeting is not easy to write, it is exhausting; as it tries to express in a few sentences thoughts, feelings and experiences of a whole year – and beyond. A task whose failure, however, has something beautiful inherent in it: the concentrated attention on this one moment of verbalized devotion. It is beautiful to carry you in my chest, eight years after my departure into clandestinity.

The last few days were rather cloudy, as I had to think about my old life and the loss that came with it. Fortunately, this gloom does not predominate, but only spreads from time to time. For the most part of my time, I am in good spirits, happy and proud of my decision to have chosen my free feet on constantly new adventures to the chains on a few square meters of dreariness. If you are unfortunate to face such a decision – take the risk. It is worth it!

Waiting for the anarchist guerrilla…

Translated from German, originally posted to kontrapolis.info

Spring 2024, the situation is unbearable. Fascism has conquered the minds of many people, not only in the territory controlled by the German State. The rulers of many countries seem to be on a death trip; hot wars between States, wars against migration, war against the planet’s resources and social war are in a phase of enthusiasm for death, reminiscent of descriptions shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. Meanwhile, humanity has its fingers glued to smartphones, numbed by the flickering of algorithms.

As for the hot wars, many anarchists remain in the spectator position. In one of these wars, there are good reasons to join the Kurdish structures and be active against the Turkish State and its Islamist proxies. There are also good reasons to stay away from the PKK’s cult of personality and instead attack Erdogan’s interests in Europe, although the initial waves of action here have subsided considerably. The anarchist space has also not yet developed any practice against the State systems that are largely responsible for the current massacres (NATO/EU/Israel/Iran/Russia) or the war profiteers that is capable of influencing the course of history.

Now, a text published on March 2, 2024 under the title “Developing Incisive Capacity: Making Actions Count”1 raises questions that are certainly relevant to many of us:

What could equip anarchists to carry out more significant strikes, to hone a quality of action that goes beyond the symbolic? What are the current obstacles to anarchists developing a capacity for action on a significant scale, organized in small autonomous groups that can coordinate around a particular focus? In other words, what needs to happen for more anarchists to establish the necessary skills and a certain routine for attacking identified vulnerabilities?

To answer these questions not only theoretically but also practically requires nothing less than an anarchist guerrilla. For with the methods developed in the autonomous movement over the last few decades, we have come no further than exactly where we have been for some time now. In order not to indulge in lengthy analyses, which could hardly be more appropriate than issue 2 of the newspaper “Antisistema”, spring 2024, please refer to this issue.

Greece: Against borders, states, homelands, armies (here, in Palestine, in Israel, everywhere)

Here, in Palestine, in Israel, everywhere

Against borders, states, homelands, armies

War is everywhere. Without ever having been absent from the capitalist world, the world of homelands, armies and borders. It has always been present, except that nowadays every “war episode” tends to acquire global dimensions with different levels of transnational involvement: from the war in Palestine, Ukraine, Yemen, to the “tension zones” that presage a future conflict (e.g. Taiwan, Guyana, Red Sea, etc.), the world map seems to be shaped by a continuous geography of war “fronts” and “rears”.

And war takes many forms: from the famous trade sanctions that create “inflationary phenomena” in primitive societies and “food crises” in the capitalist periphery, to the Western States’ war on immigrants, the military-style management of “states of emergency” (be it viruses or floods, fires, etc.), the management of social policy in police terms. What the rulers cynically call “era fluidity” is on the one hand the other name for systemic contradictions reaching a limit point and on the other, it is a clear statement to subjects: in “fluid times” our lives are sadly expendable and survival is defined in terms of probability, risk, risk. And whoever lives through it… Then comes the famous “love of country”, the need for “national unity”, to form a “national body” in danger, with the State and the army defined as its “natural protectors”.

[ABMB] When the exhaustion of concepts intensifies

via: /tridnivalka/

Source in German: https://anarchistischebuechermesse.noblogs.org/?p=231

As we are unfortunately repeatedly confronted with groups that support the Ukrainian side in the war between Russia and the Ukraine from an allegedly “anarchist” position, and as an article appeared in April (When ideology gets in the way of solidarity) in which ABC-Belarus was surprised that we described them as supporters of the war and therefore we did not invite them to the bookfair, here are a few words from us. More than once we have had the dubious pleasure of being involved in discussions with people who call themselves “anarchists” and supporters of the Ukrainian side in the Russian-Ukrainian war, people who are also referred to by some as anarcho-militarists, anarcho-nationalists, NATO anarchists and the like – specifically, we are talking about ABC-Belarus, ABC-Dresden, Operation Solidarity/Solidarity Collective and all groups that support the war – whereby it should be noted that we personally deny that they are anarchists as a matter of course. Among other things, it has been shown that, contrary to their claim to seek debate, they do not do so, but instead skillfully ignore every counter-argument and move deftly at a level that can sometimes be confidently described as populist and statist.

What they are looking for is an approval and anyone who doesn’t give it to them is then accused of Putinism, Westplaining, etc. And even if their arguments have changed over the course of time and certainly also due to the course of the war in the Ukraine, they are still generally repeated again and again. In the following lines, we will address these arguments, as they have been expressed to us and in some cases published, and explain once again why these groups support the war and why we do not consider them as anarchist comrades, despite all the praiseworthy and important work they do and have done in the field of prisoner support.

GR-EL: Σκότωσε τον μπάτσο στην τσέπη σου -Kill the Cop in Your Pocket

Σκότωσε τον μπάτσο στην τσέπη σου

Η αποτελεσματική κουλτούρα ασφάλειας και η επιχειρησιακή ασφάλεια εμποδίζουν τις δυνάμεις καταστολής να γνωρίζουν για τις συγκεκριμένες εγκληματικές μας δραστηριότητες, αλλά και για τη ζωή μας, τις σχέσεις μας, τα μοτίβα μετακίνησής μας και ούτω καθεξής.

Αυτή η γνώση είναι ένα τεράστιο πλεονέκτημα για τον περιορισμό των υπόπτων και τη διεξαγωγή στοχευμένης παρακολούθησης. Αυτό το άρθρο θα περιγράψει μερικές στρατηγικές για να σκοτώσετε τον μπάτσο στην τσέπη σας

Η τοποθεσία του τηλεφώνου σας παρακολουθείται ανά πάσα στιγμή και αυτά τα δεδομένα συλλέγονται από ιδιωτικές εταιρείες, επιτρέποντας στην αστυνομία να παρακάμψει την ανάγκη έκδοσης εντάλματος. Τα αναγνωριστικά υλικού και οι πληροφορίες συνδρομής του τηλεφώνου καταγράφονται από κάθε πύργο κινητής τηλεφωνίας στον οποίο συνδέεται το τηλέφωνό σας. Υπηρεσίες hacking, όπως η Pegasus, θέτουν τον πλήρη συμβιβασμό των τηλεφώνων σε απόσταση αναπνοής ακόμη και από τις τοπικές αρχές επιβολής του νόμου και είναι “μηδενικό κλικ”, που σημαίνει ότι δεν εξαρτώνται από το αν κάνετε κλικ σε έναν σύνδεσμο ή ανοίξετε ένα αρχείο για να χακάρουν το τηλέφωνό σας. Από την άλλη πλευρά, αφού περισσότεροι από 30 εμπρησμοί σε μια μικρή πόλη της Γαλλίας έμειναν ανεξιχνίαστοι, οι ερευνητές παραπονέθηκαν ότι «είναι αδύνατο να χρησιμοποιηθούν δεδομένα τηλεφώνου ή οχήματος επειδή λειτουργούν χωρίς τηλέφωνα ή αυτοκίνητα!»

Κρυπτογράφηση και γεωεντοπισμός

Σε μια πρόσφατη κατασταλτική επιχείρηση εναντίον ενός αναρχικού, η αστυνομία παρακολούθησε τη γεωγραφική θέση του flip phone του υπόπτου σε πραγματικό χρόνο και έφτιαξε μια λίστα με όλους όσους είχε καλέσει ο ύποπτος. Είναι γνωστό ότι τέτοιες παρακολουθήσεις δεν είναι ασυνήθιστες, και όμως πολλοί σύντροφοι έχουν μαζί τους ένα κινητό τηλέφωνο όπου κι αν πάνε, ή κάνουν μη κρυπτογραφημένες κλήσεις σε άλλους αναρχικούς. Πιστεύουμε ότι και οι δύο αυτές πρακτικές πρέπει να αποφευχθούν. Ας μην κάνουμε τη δουλειά της αστυνομίας και των υπηρεσιών πληροφοριών τόσο εύκολη, παραδίδοντάς τους τα κοινωνικά μας δίκτυα και το ιστορικό γεωγραφικού εντοπισμού σε ασημένιο πιάτο.
