Athens, Greece: Arson Attacks in Memory of Anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris

Forward, everyone!
Both with arms and with heart,
word and pen,
knife and gun,
irony and blasphemy,
theft, poisoning and arson,
let us wage… war on society!

~Josheph Dejacque (1821-1864), libertarian anarcho-communist

In a world of constant impoverishment, class inequalities, oppression and exploitation, social fascism advances through the dictates of the state apparatus, capital and its mouthpieces, leaving room for more and more impoverishment and repression. The reformist compromises of the once more radical sections of society, together with stupidification, selfish individualism and worship of oppressors, make it no longer able to conceive of conflict with all of the above.

Our anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and anarchist comrade Marianna M. are an example of selflessness, revolutionary ethos and political commitment in all aspects of the struggle. From anarchist assemblies, to solidarity with prisoners, to struggles in defense of immigrants, labor gains, to the struggle against gentrification and repression, our comrades gave “body and soul” keeping the flame of the revolutionary cause always alight. The events of October 31st froze our hearts but at the same time convinced us to continue the struggle of Kyriakos and Marianna and so many other comrades over the years who gave their lives or were imprisoned in the battle for individual and social liberation, revolution and anarchy.

Issue 3 of anarcho-nihilist / insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been released

PDF download link: [ENG] Blessed Is The Flame – Issue #3

(For those who wish to print the newspaper, see the instructions below.)

The 3rd issue of the anarcho-nihilist/insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been published. Its pages contain reports of direct actions, claims of responsibility, texts, poems, and news from anarchist prisoners and trials that were published in November and December 2024 in ten different languages across various parts of the world, or were sent to us via email and are being published for the first time. (Some of the texts published for the first time will also be uploaded as standalone posts on our blog, blessed-is-the-flame.espivblogs.net.)

Our goal is not only to break down the linguistic barriers that hinder information, solidarity, and the dissemination of propaganda by the deed on an international level but also to give counter-information a printed form. We believe it is crucial for counter-information to transcend the limits of the digital realm.

Athens,Greece: Intervention of Nikos Maziotis at the book presentation event of “State against Commune” by Pola Roupa (Panteion University, 31/5/2024)

Intervention of Nikos Maziotis at the book presentation event of “State against Commune” by Pola Roupa (Panteion University, 31/5/2024)

The following text is a transcript of comrade Nikos Maziotis’ telephone intervention at the book presentation event of “State against Commune” by comrade Pola Roupa, organised by the Solidarity Assembly for the convicted members of the Revolutionary Struggle P. Roupa and N. Maziotis on 31/5/2024 at Panteion University): “[…] … None of them are recognised as political prisoners, but their discriminatory treatment is obvious. We have similar deteriorating conditions in Greece, towards keeping political prisoners longer in prison. E.g. the multi-lifers convicted for Revolutionary organization 17 November who have completed more than 22 years as is my case as I am not a lifer, yet I have far exceeded the parole limit but they do not release me because I refuse to make any statement of disavowal, “correction” and repentance … [Nikos Maziotis, convicted member of the organization Revolutionary Struggle, captive in Domokos prison (Greece)]”

“Comrades, I greet you. I wish you all strength.

The truth is that the book presentation of “State against Commune” by comrade Pola Roupa should have taken place two years ago and more, when the comrade was still in prison.

Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on a police post in solidarity with Nikos Romanos, Alfredo Cospito and all imprisoned members of FAI/IRF(Tasikmalaya, Indonesia)

I have dreamed of a world in flames, rolling in the infinite and

hurling red-hot meteors and sparks through the starry spaces.”

~ Bruno Filippi

We again claim the action of attacking a police post, on December 17, 2024 in the area of Tasikmalaya, West Java.

We are a small revolutionary cell formed from the consciousness of resistance, a fusion of collectives and free individuals! There will be more attacks to destroy the state and its instruments!

Recent Dispatches from Comrades in Germany, 2024–25

By the time Daniela Klette, Burkhard Garweg, and Volker Staub ended up on wanted posters, the group they were accused of belonging to—the Red Army Faction—had been in existence for over two decades. The RAF was a clandestine organization that had waged armed struggle throughout the 1970s and 1980s in order to create an anti-imperialist pole of resistance in West Germany, as the country was known at the time. Several members died in the course of the struggle, and dozens of guerrillas and their supporters served lengthy prison terms.

It is alleged that Daniela, Burkhard, and Volker were active in the group in its final years, the 1990s. Daniela was captured in 2024, and Burkhard is now the focus of a newly energized manhunt. We have produced this document to inform comrades in the English-speaking world of their situation and politics.

Alfredo’s declaration and the hearing ended with a dismissal of all charges against all defendants for Sibilla trial in the preliminary hearing held on the 15th of January in Perugia. (Italy)

We publish the statements read by some of the anarchist comrades accused in the Sibilla trial in the preliminary hearing held on the 15th of January in Perugia. Amongst the defendants, is also Alfredo Cospito, who attended by videoconference from Bancali prison in (Sardinia) where he is locked up in the 41bis regime, who read a statement.

The hearing ended with a dismissal of all charges against all defendants, bringing to a conclusion an infamous case, which apart from aiming at the silencing of anarchist revolutionary publications, had a central role in Alfredo’s transfer to the 41bis regime. For a few hours Alfredo was able to hear the voices of his comrades, to see their faces, to speak, breaking the wall of silence in which they are trying to bury him. And this is certainly more stirring than any decision made by any state bureaucrat. In particular, Alfredo’s own words resonate as a powerful denunciation against the totalitarian horror of the 41bis regime. Those children’s handprints on the dividing glass in the visiting room should shake the consciences, of those who still have a conscience.

In the early hours of 30.21.24, we visited the Greek residence in Bern. (Switzerland)

In the early hours of 30.21.24, we visited the Greek residence in Bern.

On October 31 of this year, an explosive device detonated in an apartment in Athens. It killed fellow anarchist Kyrikaos Xymitiris. Fellow anarchist Marianna, who was also in the apartment, was seriously injured in the explosion. Despite her serious injuries, she is currently in prison in Korydallos without adequate medical care (see more at: https://de.indymedia.org/node/478444).

In addition to Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris, Nikos and A.K are in custody in connection with these events. They are all accused of the same thing: Founding and membership of a terrorist organization, possession and manufacture of explosives, and damage to private property.

FIRE TO THE PUMPS! FROM SÜNDI ( Hambach,Germany)

FIRE TO THE PUMPS! FROM SÜNDI

4 pumping stations for the Hambach Mine around Sündi were destroyed during the night of the 13th, 3 of which by fire, causing RWE to shut down the pumps in the area the next day. This is was following a failed attempt by security early in the day to erect some signs, which led to physical confrontations, barricading and a standoff.

After which some uncontrollables took a night walk with tools and gasoline. Any pump that stood closer to Hambi has been out of action for some time.

The Sündi is growing despite the imminent eviction threat, to clarify the Sündi is a small section of forest squatted since last September, that was once part of the nearby (and still squatted!) Hambacher forest.

prisoners mutiny on c wing – hmp swaleside, uk

21 January 2015

Prisoners in HMP Swaleside, C wing, have taken over that wing and staff

have retreated. We don’t have any more information at the moment. The reasons behind this are probably the bad conditions they’re under, lack of staff, lack of sanitary products, slavery wages and inconsistency onb the timetable (leading to being locked up more time and don’t know what their routine is). We’ll be updating when we get more information.

Please share! No one is free until all are free!
