In the early days of May, Anarchist elder Ben Morea passed peacefully doing what he loved, preparing for ceremony. Ben was an illuminating flame of the underground, radicalized in prison, an artist-combatant of Black Mask, the Motherfuckers and the counterculture at large. He revived the proposal of affinity, occupied Columbia university, and gave Valerie Solanas the gun she used to shoot Andy Warhol.

A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground
Eleven years ago, on April 28, 2015, the police launched a crackdown known as Operation Phoenix (Fénix). As a result, I later decided to go into hiding—that is, to live underground. The following text serves both as a memoir of that period and as a critical reflection on it.
Going Underground
In 2015, the authorities cracked down, and a lot happened in a relatively short period of time: Four anarchists in prison. Media propaganda scaremongering about terrorism. Raids on homes and at the community center. Confiscation of personal belongings. Being dragged through interrogation rooms. Intimidation, sowing discord, police surveillance. There was a lot going on, and taken together, it created enormous tension. At least for me, without a doubt. Continue reading A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground
The Cop, the Neo-Nazi, and the Elephant
In 2022, we published 2,000 french and 2000 german copies of the first edition of our book “How to defend yourself during a police interrogation.” Since then, the content of our practical guide has continued to spread, taking many forms, such as a workshops we conduct, an “interrogation” supplement for the role-playing game Blade in the Dark and translations into English, and Spanish. The book has now also been reissued in French by Éditions du Commun under the title “A Short Guide to Self-Defense During Interrogations,” as well as an audiobook version, a radio spot, a self-print brochure version on infokiosques.net, and posters illustrating the “broken record” strategy.
In short, we’ve put a lot of effort to share our self-defense advice as widely as possible so that anarchists and other rebels can protect themselves against repression. And it’s not over yet, since translations into Arabic, Italian, and Danish are underway, and our door is always open to anyone who wants to help us to diffuse it or to reach other formats and linguistic-geographic areas.

Snooping Eyes: Report on Methods and Tools of Digital Repression
From No Trace Project
“As friends and tech-savvy comrades, we are often approached with questions about what the police and other law enforcement agencies can do.
At the same time, we frequently notice behaviors that show a certain carelessness, overlooking the tools these authorities have at their disposal and the growing budgets allocated to advanced surveillance technologies in recent years. For these reasons, among others, we decided to compile this text to provide, in a structured way, some information about what we have seen or read over the past years.”
AGAINST ALL STATES, AGAINST THEIR WAR!
Answers to the questions from Maciej A. an anarchist comrade in Poland.
- Is the anarchist movement in Iran niche and fragmented, mostly concentrated in university cities? And how active is the diaspora?
The anarchist movement in Iran is young. It is only in recent years that anarchism within the geography of Iran has developed into an actual movement in the full sense of the word. It is also only in the past few years that some anarchist books have been officially translated into Persian and received permission for publication inside Iran.
That said, the movement is more geographically widespread than outsiders might expect. According to surveys we conducted on Twitter and Telegram, anarchists are present in all 31 provinces of Iran, from very small towns to very large cities, across the entire geography of the country. The movement is everywhere, even if it is not always visible.
Due to the conditions of severe repression in the country, the anarchist movement has operated in an increasingly decentralised manner. This decentralisation is not a weakness, it is a survival strategy. Continue reading AGAINST ALL STATES, AGAINST THEIR WAR!

A thorn in the side
Silence is danger, darkness intoxicates risk. It is anguish that generates the void, the sensation of finding oneself on the bridge from where you look down and see the abyss, where you cannot tear your gaze away from the chasm opening up before the world: but it is precisely in moments like this that you tend to feel alive, without mediation of any kind.
The clamour of industry or a steady trickle of devices, like democratic chatter, are unbearable because imagination, sedition, sensitivity, contemplation, and daydreaming are flattened and substituted by the constant bombardment of news, messages, notification alerts, impositions to consume and calls to the order of war.
The megamachine engulfs, sleeping slavery wears invisible chains and the impotence felt goes with the flow of continual massacres and genocides. Continue reading A thorn in the side A poster that appeared in the night, in Cremona. (Italy)
For our comrades that died for the defense of life (Berlin,Germany)
For our comrades that died for the defense of life
For the fighters, that were willing to do the necessary
For the comrades, that decided to take life into their own hands
For the revolutionaries, that demanded nothing less than everything
And for the people, that were kids like you and me
For you, Kyriako
For you, Sara and Sandro
For everyone, that gave their life for the defence of life
On 19th of March 2026, anarchist comrades Sara Ardizzone and Alessandro Mercogliano were found dead following the collapse of a farmhouse in Rome. The media is reporting about the alleged explosion of an explosive device. While the exact circumstances remain unclear, one thing is clear to us: Sara and Sandro died in action, they died fighting (https://circoloculturaleanarchicofiaschi.noblogs.org/2026/03/21/piu-forti-della-morte/).

A message to Day Wireless Portland (USA)
It is easy to feel helpless in the face of what is happening around us and allow ourselves to sink into despair and inaction.
In trying to find some way out of the hopelessness, we found some of the work had already been done and a lot of people are collecting info on who is working with ICE and making money off of human suffering. (a few of the posts below this one, this website: , and others) Day Wireless outfits ICE with radios and other surveillance tech so they can more easily carry out the ethnic cleansing ordered by Trump and his collection of ghouls in cheap suits.

In Tension – an anarchist agitation zine. (USA)
In Tension is a journal acting as a place for anarchist analysis, dialogue, and reflection on activity that extends beyond single subcultures, issues, and social groups. Intended for people beginning to learn what anarchists are fighting and creating as well as people who have identified with anarchism for decades, In Tension is a way for us to talk to each other and report actions, issues, and intiatives that are otherwise under- or un-reported. We are interested in promoting the practice of doing things for ourselves and connecting our struggles locally, regionally, and internationally. In Tension also functions as an archive of sorts, a way to foster collective remembering.
In Tension is published in so-called Bloomington, Indiana each season. We welcome submissions of actions, events, and analysis from different perspectives that hold true to an anti-authoritarian, anti-state, and liberatory lens. Continue reading In Tension – an anarchist agitation zine. (USA)

Criminal or association? Charges dropped against one of the three accused in the Munich “Zündlumpen” case
Once again yellow envelopes fly into the mailboxes of anarchists in Munich. This time without the spirited ramblings of our favorite General SA employee Firoozi (or rather we seem to be her favorites). Instead this time it is the association “VRIOLG Dr. Stoll” & Co., from the higher court of Munich, that has honored some anarchists with their text. More than three months after the judicial association Himmelstoß & Co. declined to reopen the “Zündlumpen” case in the Staatsschutz (SS) chamber, due to a lack of evidence connecting one of the accused to the publishing of “Zündlumpen,” and after General SA Firoozi appealed the decision, the higher court of Munich has finally graced us with their decision.

Lukáš Borl – March 2026 (Czech Republic)
I have finally been acquitted of several criminal charges brought against me by the police on the basis of dubious speculation. The acquittal ruling states:
“(…) the court finds that no evidence was presented that would lead to the identification of the perpetrator, and thus to the proof of the defendant’s guilt. The defendant’s guilt has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by Section 2(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code. These doubts are fundamental, logical, and insurmountable, as the expert opinions confirmed that the perpetrator cannot be identified by any scientific method.”
What made this court case unusual was that the prosecutor tried to use my book “Tato kniha není (z)boží” (This Book Is Not a Commodity) against me However, the court ultimately ruled that this book does not constitute evidence.

An idea of freedom. For Sara and Sandro by Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine(Italy)
2026/03/26
That Sara and Sandro’s gesture was the decisive affirmation of the “here and now”, we can only imagine. As anarchists and comrades we feel a strong need to stand by them and defend them from anyone who allows themself to slander them. And we are in no doubt that revolutionary violence is part of anarchism and an antiauthoritarian idea that would uproot every kind of oppression and hierarchy. An idea that expresses itself with many varied methods and which, when it decides to use violence, never strikes in the heap but aims its attack against oppression and who and what constitutes one of its gears. Continue reading An idea of freedom. For Sara and Sandro by Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine(Italy)

Against the new war in Iran, against peace that sets the ground for war.
The joint attack of Israel and the USA against Iran on the 28th of February 2026 is what comes next after the so-called “12-day war” of June 2025, when Israel attacked Iran with the help of the USA. In that phase of the war, the Zionist regime attacked, thus escalating the situation and limiting whatever scenario of “mild” resolution to the open issues concerning the Iranian state such as its nuclear program. The June war actually formed the terms and the political context to prepare and set off the current “episode”, which includes the greatest part of the ambitions of the American-Israeli coalition. Under the doctrine of “precautionary war”, which has been announced since the beginning of 2025 by the Israeli state claiming a sort of justification for its military operations in the name of calculated (and not manifested) dangers and threats.
The war that sparked on 28/2, attempts to form a new geopolitical geography in the broader area of the Middle East. At the top of their priorities lies to overthrow the Iranian regime, so that the danger for Israel coming from its neighboring states can be completely eliminated. Not long ago Iran was the pillar of the so-called “axis of resistance” against the aims of Israel and the USA. Apart from that common goal, the two ally states could establish their interests in the broader area since the Arab states (on various levels) have made agreements with Israel (bearing at the same time a close cooperation with the USA) and practically submit to its pursuits.
