Book presentation-Discussion ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Centuries” with comrade P. Roupa (Athens,Greece)

Sunday 14/12 at 18:00 at the self-managed Perasma hangout ( Z. Pigis 97 & Isavron, Exarcheia )

The book ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Ages” is a historical and political study of the concept of “political crime”. It moves away from its narrow legal dimension and examines the phenomenon within the historical context of social struggles and revolutions. The book seeks the roots of political crime , starting from pre-state free societies (communes) and their natural law. It describes how the first state structures tried to impose their power over these communities, thus creating the first political “crimes” as well as the acts of resistance of these societies against the attempt to abolish their right to live freely and self-organized.

The route passes through important historical periods and events: the ancient Athenian democracy, Rome, the medieval free cities, the Peasants’ Revolt, the French revolutions, the Paris Commune and revolutionary movements in Greece. Through these events and always according to the social and political particularities of each country and each era, common causes and goals of revolutions emerge, which are linked to the search for equality, autonomy , social solidarity and justice.

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us ( Athens exarcheia ,Greece )

ALEXIS GRIGOROPOULOS  – ONE OF US

 “…A bullet in Alexis’s heart to end the cycle of the state machine’s omnipotence. A smear of blood on the pedestrian street of Messolonghiou to initiate the cycle of uprising that wrecked the legal order and spread chaos and anarchy in all the cities of Greece… Alexis is now an integral part of this history; I don’t know what would have happened if events had happened differently, or furthermore, whether it is more than the inner spirit of the wounded. But I can tell you about what Alexis was before he was dead from the cop’s bullets. In his short but adventurous life he lived authentically, he was a young insurgent fascinated with the idea of anarchy like those who now occupy the city streets hurling Molotov cocktails at cops and burning police cars, he was unruly and stubborn, he was an honest person with a kind soul and selfless motives in everything he did. He was a person who lived his passions and frustrations intensely…”  Nikos Romanos  “Requiem for a Journey of No Return” 29/11/2015

Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messologgiou and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened over the hours and days that followed, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the State and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messologgiou Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below.

Indonesian Update 11.29.25 , and letter from some imprisoned comrades from the ‘Chaos Star’ case

11.29.25

Conditions inside police detention:

– From the very beginning, this case hasn’t been handled only by regular police and the Cyber Crime unit, but also by Densus 88 (the special anti-terrorism/anti-makar squad). Makar is Indonesian term for “inciting an action or planning to overthrow the government”).

– Most of the arrested anarchists have already started going through trials and have been moved to Kebon Waru prison.

Eat (Reyhard Rumbayan) still has zero info about when his trial will happen. He’s the only one who’s been interrogated by Densus 88 — they see him as the “mastermind” behind everything related to the anarchist stuff.

– There are basically three types of charges being thrown at the detainees: (1) the brains behind the scenes, (2) the instigators, (3) the ones who got instigated. Of course, that’s because the state can’t wrap its head around the idea that spontaneous actions can happen without any leader — that concept just doesn’t exist in state logic.

European and International Corporate Targets – Indonesia

Several multi-national companies operate and invest in Indonesia, such as Shell, BP, Unilever, Rolls Royce and GlaxoSmithKline, who have a large presence. In UK, Standard Chartered bank have investments in Indonesia and so does Prudential Plc. Other UK-based companies operating are Arup, Mott MacDonald and PwC.

The largest multinational bank operating in Indonesia is HSBC, which is a suitable target for coordinated action since it has branches and offices across the globe. We propose that where appropriate, individuals in each territory and region, should research which companies are operating in Indonesia, circulate and make that information and take direct action in solidarity with the prisoners of the anti-authoritarian mass uprising.

On repression for the weekend, 14th–16th November 2025 in Hamburg.en/it.

On repression

„I would rather die a lion than live the life of a dog“ – on the
repression against the 2nd international exchange against military
service and for the refusal of all militarism in Hamburg

„I’d rather die a lion…“ With these words, Emma Goldman in 1917
confronted the globally spreading militarism and spoke up against
conscription. More than a hundred years later, we are facing another
episode of massive militarization, hand in hand with new and ongoing wars and genocides.

Last weekend, 14th–16th November 2025, anarchists from different countries met for the second time for an international exchange to analyze, debate, and develop anti-militarist struggles. Contributions in person, via video, and in writing from comrades in the UK, Greece, Israel/Palestine, Italy, France, Finland, and Germany were presented. As we can easily understand, the enemies of freedom and their dogs are surely not fond of an international moment like this. Besides surveillance around our meeting, we want to make one incident known:

An Attempt to Construct a Transcontinental Language Bridge (Indonesia)

The Legiun storm line specifically monitors only stable, active English-language websites such as: Act for Freedom Now!Dark Nights (Europe); Unravel (America), without any aversion to other languages or territories; and various local mainstream media outlets – which will later be uploaded to the Legiun website homepage as a single post.

The Legiun is administered solely by an individual with a vision of international relations. The letter ‘A’ in the Legiun logo refers to the numerical code ‘1’, and the Legiun (perhaps) is not anarchistic in tendency, but antagonistic. From the outset, Legiun was never an ‘individual (let alone) action group’, but rather a canal for the circulation of ‘ideas and theories’ that unfortunately stemmed from ‘antagonistic practical analysis’. Its content covered approximately: classical insurrectionalist anarchy-new anarchy; organizational-informality; and technology-civilization.

A CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY: NO COMRADE WILL BE LEFT ALONE IN THE HANDS OF REPRESSION! (Italy)

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist comrade jailed since 2012, initially arrested and sentenced (along with another comrade) for kneecapping the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare. He has served his sentence for that crime (the other comrade is now free), but he is currently serving a 23-year sentence issued in the “Scripta Manent” trial. This was a repressive operation against 20 years of FAI/FRI actions. Comrade Anna Beniamino is also serving a 17-year sentence for this repressive operation.

In May 2022, he was placed in 41 bis, a “harsh prison” regime invented in the ’90s to psychologically annihilate mafia “chiefs” and force them to cooperate. It is now extended to over 700 prisoners, including members of revolutionary groups such as BR-PCC. In October 2022, Alfredo began a six-month hunger strike against the 41-bis regime and life sentences without parole, his likely fate according to the terrorism and political massacre charges (and the prosecutor’s request), which essentially amounts to a death sentence while alive. He chose to risk his life because fighting until his last breath was worth it rather than being sentenced to the “tomb of the living,” which is precisely 41 bis.

Athens (Greece) Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for 17N, regarding the attack by the left-wing parastate on the Athens Polytechnic

[Athens, Greece] How state policy manifests itself behind a repressive operation

Update – Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for November 17 (rally), regarding the attack by the left-wing para-state on the Polytechnic (52 years since the Athens Polytechnic uprising of 1973 during the Greek military junta)

people who have nothing to say

in positions of power just babble …

Now and forever rekindling

(song: “For now and forever”– Genia tou Chaous, 1989)

In our call to the oppressed, the rebels, and the people of the struggle, to join our anarchist/anti-authoritarian rally bloc for November 17, we wrote: “The invocation of the democratic polity by the state and its supporters, under whatever guise, left or right, is a deception for those at the bottom. Authoritarian violence and the attempt to displace subversive social struggles and their rebellious characteristics from the public sphere and collective consciousness are means of terrorizing and silencing subversive ideas and freedoms. […] Free Polytechnics here and now for all, everything and everyone, outside the shackles of party manipulation and deception”. And as history has shown, it was as if we were foreshadowing with this address what would follow on the first day of this year’s three-day Polytechnic  “celebration”, with the repressive attack (and attempted displacement from the public historical space) on our assembled body in the courtyard of the National Technical University of Athens by the party army of ARAS (left anti-capitalist coalition).

BANNER DROPPED FROM WESTMINSTER BRIDGE WHICH READS ‘WE SUPPORT THE HUNGER STRIKE. WE SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION’ -PRISONERS FOR PALESTINE HUNGER-STRIKE APPROACHES ITS FOURTH WEEK. (London,UK)

At 12PM on Saturday 15th November, five protestors were arrested under the Terrorism Act for dropping a large banner from Westminster Bridge which read, ‘We Support The Hunger Strike. We Support Palestine Action.’

The action was taken not only in support of Palestine Action, who were proscribed as a ‘terrorist’ group, by the British government, on the 5th July 2025, but in support of the hunger-strike currently being undertaken by a number of Palestine Action prisoners. The prisoners, who have formed Prisoners For Palestine, launched an indefinite, rolling, national hunger-strike on the 2nd of November, the anniversary of the signing of the Balfour Declaration, in support of a list of demands communicated to the government 2 weeks earlier.

A message of solidarity from Stecco who has joined the hunger strike and a Basket of Thoughts – Italian Anarchist Massimo Passamani Solidarity With Hunger Strike in uk

Yesterday, November 4th, I received news of the start of a hunger strike called by tens of political prisoners imprisoned in the United Kingdom for their struggles in solidarity with and for the liberation of Palestine.

In recent months, I read about comrade Teuta “T” Hoxha’s hunger strike, and was able to follow her story and that of comrades Casey Goonan and Malik Muhammad. I had time to ponder in case, as I expected, another chance presented itself to join a struggle which I feel an affinity for, which I feel deeply is my own.

A Call To Action: Line 5 Re-Route Construction Begins

The forest grows uneasy in the nest of the thunderbirds. Everyday there arrives more machines, more pipe, and more men. So many men that they have a whole camp for their corrupt consciouses. The forest listens as each day brings with it more noise than the last. The sounds of machines humming, men yelling, and trees falling. The forest heard the men talking of a plan to start a new wave of construction by the end of the year. There hasn’t been this much noise on the shores of the medicine river for almost a generation, since the fight for the water against goegebic taconite.

NO SQUATTER IN PRISON

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

LETS SQUAT THE EMPTY HOUSES

TUESDAY DECEMBER 2nd, 9.00 am, EVERYONE TO THE ΑPPEAL COURT (EFETEIO) ATHENS

On the 2nd of December 2025, comrades will be on trial at the court of appeal for combatively defending the buildings of the Koukaki Squats Community in January 2020. The Koukaki Squats Community was created in 2017 and was formed by 3 abandonded houses (Matrozou 45, Panaitoliou 21, Arvali 3) which became livable through collective labour and served as housing squats and places of struggle for about 3 years. The doors of the houses were open to anyone who wished to fight back state violence and injustice, to anyone who was in need of shelter or the structures of social solidarity that operated in the community, to anyone who wished for a collective way of living and also to the people of the neighborhood.

Apart from the assemblies and the events that were hosted, in the squatted houses there was also a series of structures: the lending library, the public baths and washing machines and the free shop. The Community participated in struggles for the squatting and the antifascist movement, in solidairty with political prisoners, against gender violence, patriarchy, racism, the exploitation of nature, against gentrification and touristification of Koukaki, against the privatization of Filopapou hill and more. Within these three years the houses of the Community became the target of fascist attacks (3 arson attacks in Panaitoliou), they were evicted, with the police forces using all kinds of violence (beating, plastic bullets, sound grenades, chemicals) towards the squatters to throw them out of their houses and towards any other person that stood as an obstacle against the generalized state attack on squatted places.

(Indonesia) Eight anarchist detainees from the “Chaos Star” case have been transferred after court

Eight anarchist detainees from the “Chaos Star” case have undergone their first court on 18 November 2025. This means they have now been transferred to the prosecutor’s detention facility.

They are accused of throwing stones at police officers, allegedly causing around Rp 2 billion in damages during the 30 August 2025 demonstration. All eight have been charged with multiple articles: Article 170 (violence in public), Article 214 (collective resistance), and Article 406 (destruction of another person’s property) of the Indonesian Criminal Code.
