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!

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.

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”.

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.

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.

The second issue of a magazine like this is, for us, a great success. Not only are we pleased, which would be obvious, we are also a little surprised. We were under no illusions, and still do not have any. The list of the problems we found incomprehensible, drawn up in the article “And now?” in Issue One, is still valid, although we have tried to give some answers here. Not that these answers are not satisfactory in themselves, but as we were putting them down other doubts appeared, even more complex and numerous.
The 2nd issue of the anarchist newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been some fix correct on the PDF file so is here: Blessed-Is-The-Flame-Issue-2.pdf
The second issue of the insurrectionary / nihilist anarchist newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame”, originally published in 8 July 2024 in Greek, has now been translated in English. By doing so, we hold the ambition that this newspaper can become an international effort, bringing together all the direct action reports, statements and texts of comrades, … 
Every Heart is a Timembomb – Screening and Discussion

Rote Zora was a women’s armed struggle group agitating in Germany in the 1970s through to the 1990s. The group originated as a feminist breakaway from the Revolutionary Cells, inspiring an entire generation to fight against patriarchy in all its expressions: (gene) technology, medical, domestic and systemic violence, rape culture, religious power, the medical industry, the war industry – exploitation and oppression at work, in the streets, and at home.
With glue, spraypaint, arson, poetry and bombs, they fought against the old world they lived in, with a burning desire for a new world without oppression, exploitation or war. Together, we will watch the documentary “Frauen bildet Banden!” (women, form gangs!) from 2019, made by FrauenLesbenFilmCollectif Las Otras, in which a number of Rote Zoras share with us their experiences about the struggle against patriarchy, connecting the struggles of the past with the opportunities that lie ahead of us today.
Starting from a few of their communiques, we will go deeper in a few
topics they have brought to the table back then and that might inspire us today.

“Our task as anarchists, our main preoccupation and greatest desire, is to see the social revolution come about: a terrible upheaval of men and institutions which finally succeeds in putting an end to exploitation and establishing the reign of justice.
For we anarchists the revolution is our guide, our constant point of reference, no matter what we are doing or what problem we are concerned with. The anarchy we want will not be possible without the painful revolutionary break. If we want to avoid turning this into no more than a dream we must struggle to destroy the State and the exploiters through revolution.”
-Alfredo Bonanno, Why Insurrection?
