Another war is possible

Political statement by the imprisoned member of Anarchist Action on the necessary building of a revolutionary blockade against the imperialist movements of the warmongering transnational formations.

In politics there are so many truths as there are lies. Statements and analyses built on the foundations of the subjectivity of the interests they defend. Since the very first moment of the powers of russian expansionism invading the territories that previously belonged to the Ukrainian sovereignty, countless analyses of the causes and conditions of the military intervention have been recorded. Geostrategic analyses, articles in political and financial columns, and even philosophical texts record the narrative of what is happening in the present time at the behest of each narrator. Our truth espaces from the mouth of the victims of this conflict: this is not war, this is politics (statement of a Russian refuser of conscription in a conscription office).

Russia invading Ukranian territory is a conflict with national and imperialist characteristics without any class orientation. A war that, no matter the winner, will once again find the internation proletariat defeated in history, regardless of the nationalistic heads that its tyranny serves. Russia is building up a rival awe towards the Euro-Atlantic Alliance, the world community condemns the war by applying trade sanctions, white at the same time it supports with material equipemnts and regarding manpower the ukranian troops.

Ihar Alinevich , an anarcho-partisan sentenced to 20 years for participating in the Belarusian uprising, went on hunger strike. Members of the Anarchist Black Cross collected the latest information about Igor from the Facebook of his mother Valentina Alinevich and from his close friends. Here’s what we were able to find out.

On October 5, Ihar’s lawyer tried to get to him, but did not. He will try to get to him next week. According to unconfirmed reports, Ihar is still in the penal cell, where he was visited by the prosecutor. It is very difficult to get any information about Ihar. Even his mother has not been able to see her son for years; there is no way to get in touch with him by phone; all letters are censored and often do not reach him at all. It may be difficult for foreigners to understand this, but if the country is “out of touch with the laws,” then information can be quite scarce.

Ihar’s hunger strike and demands

Ihar began his hunger strike on September 19. The exact demands are not known for certain, but apparently the last straw was a report on his placement in a punishment cell. Prior to that, he had sent complaints to higher authorities about the arbitrariness of the prison administration, but received no response. Therefore, Ihar suggests that these complaints did not leave the prison at all.

An update on the situation of anarchist Ivan Alocco

October : anarchist comrade Ivan, arrested on June 11 and accused of six arson attacks against vehicles, was brought before the judge of freedoms at the Bobigny courthouse. Vice-president Claire Vettier, the same one who had ratified his imprisonment on June 13, renewed the comrade’s preventive detention for four more months.

In the meantime, his correspondence seems to have unblocked. Although old letters continue to gather dust in the examining magistrate’s office, the comrade received two postcards and a letter, sent in the last few days. They gave him great pleasure and he thanks those who thought of him.

Let us not forget the imprisoned revolutionaries.
Solidarity is the attack!

Words from the confinement of Joaquín García Chanks
August 29, 2022

(Excerpted from Buskando la Kalle)

In the context of the Week of Agitation and Solidarity with anarchist and anti-authoritarian prisoners of all tendencies we share words of anarchist prisoner and comrade Joaquín García from confinement.

In times in which welfarist solidarity invades each and every space of the anti-prison struggle, dragging each space of complicity to an eternal logic of martyrs and spectators, it is urgent to rebel against the comfortable immobility of this conception of solidarity, to take it out of the stagnant limitations of purely material aid and to weave in actions of complicity, trust and spaces in which antagonistic violence finds fertile ground for its praxis.

On 6 September Minsk City Court pronounced the verdict in the criminal case of the so-called “international criminal group”. There are 14 anarchists and libertarians, four of whom have left Belarus. The defendants were charged under 10 articles, including the articles on the establishment and participation in a criminal organization (paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of Article 285 of the Criminal Code) and the establishment of an extremist formation (paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 361-1 of the Criminal Code). The trial was held behind closed doors.

According to the investigation, from 2005 to 2020 unidentified persons together with anarchist Alexander Frantskevich and human rights activist Martha Rabkova united “a number of organized criminal groups”: “Revolutionary Action”, “National self-defense” and Revolucijna Dia (“Revolutionary Day”). Investigators allege that Frantskevich and Rabkova organized the arson of the Gomel District Tax Inspectorate in March 2017 using “Molotov cocktails.” Read more about the case and its defendants in Russian here.
