EDITORIAL ISSUE 0 :

We cannot save someone. No one can. Likewise we cannot really liberate others.
This forest (a living being) cannot be saved, it will either survive, even though profoundly changed or it will die, asphyxiated by the deadly vapours of this world.

For sure it cannot be saved by their legislations and their technology, but I suspect neither it can by us living here now. And it is not about saving it either. Not that I will not mourn if this forest dies. I will mourn the oak I’ve been living in, and this mourning will become anger added to the flames burning against this world, thirst added to my need for vengeance.

I don’t want this forest to die. But I’m not here to save it. And I want even less that it becomes the crystallized, unmoving and unsurprising version of itself they are proposing. Their least bad options, their grey survival elevated to life in the “best world possible”, their never-ending youth and refusal of death and life… this is no saving, this is a destiny maybe worse than Death itself.

Thessaloniki, Greece : Greeting to the memorial for anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno in Carrara, Italy en/it

To the comrades of Carrara, who will honour the memory and struggle of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo M. Bonanno at the Circolo Culturale Anarchico ”Gogliardo Fiaschi” on December 8th 2024.

Comrades,

By raising our insurgent fists from the Greek metropolis, we welcome your initiative to honour the memory of the comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno. A few kilometres away from you, the answer to the question “Why is it necessary to highlight the historicality of the work of the comrade Alfredo”, lies in the simplest of concepts: the constant need of a free person to revolt against misery and the constant necessity for the world of poverty to be completely destroyed.

At a time of political retreat and reform, it is our collective duty to undo the natural death of a comrade, giving breath and vibrancy to the propositions that characterized his life and his passing from every field of struggle. To fight radically and with a point of aggression, to sharpen the conflict in all the fields of social antagonism. To fight to win, not moments, but the totality of freedom.

For Kyriakos For Anarchy Fire to the world of power. en/es/el

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.
