Santiago, Chile: Banner and Fliers in Solidarity with Comrade Marcelo Villarroel

Agitating for the release of anti-authoritarian comrade Marcelo Villarroel, prisoner in Rancagua prison.

Individuals released propaganda in the sector of Dignity plaza, to visibilize the abhorrent legal situation that the comrade is living through while also acknowledging his resistance to carceral society in a complicit manner.

With our prisoners, fugitives, and dead, we continue in the daily struggle against all authority.

With Tortu and Belén in our hearts and active hands, we say:

Freedom for Marcello Villarroel!
End Pinochet’s military court sentences!
Permenant agitation now!

Pensiero e azione. Sesta fiera dell’editoria anarchica , 10-11 maggio 2025

SABATO 10 MAGGIO

ORE 15.00 APERTURA STAND

ORE 16.30 LA TECNOLOGIA COME PROCESSO DI DEREALIZZAZIONE

Discussione a partire dalla rivista “Negazine”, ed. Anarchismo. A cura di alcune redattrici

Una realtà diminuita, svalutata, impoverita; si pensi al non capire quello che sta davanti, nel suo insieme, dai progetti di sfruttamento ai progetti delle tecniche, dove tutto diviene sfumato e finisce per perdersi sullo sfondo, dove si diviene succubi di qualcosa che a poco a poco sottrae la vera essenza. Questa è l’analisi che si è cercato di sviluppare in questa rivista con l’idea che “colpire gli interstizi esistenti delle tecniche” sia ancora possi bile e visibile.

Welcome to the book fair on 17 and 18 May 2025! (Gent,Belgium)

The sun is shining again and the anarchist book fair is back! The 21st edition already.

We still want to celebrate the paper in our hands, far away from
the digital nightmare that creeps into our most intimate circles. At
the book fair, you will find plenty of other publications besides books, brochures, pamphlets, posters and stickers. From old novels and revolutionary classics, across philosophy and poetry to
contemporary social criticism or the latest calls to struggle: they
start from the will to radically change the world. They share ideas and try to deepen them. Ideas: not marketable, like-able, goody-goody opinions without commitment.

But the book fair is much more!

The anarchist book fair is also an international gathering of
anarchists and anti-authoritarians, with formal and informal
discussions. We want the book fair to contribute to strengthening the anarchist movement here. We see it as a tool to deepen ideas, an opportunity to launch proposals and to forge links
between individuals and groups. We want to share our passions with
each other and create a context where words and deeds dance together and reinforce each other.

FOR MORE ATTACKS AND HATE AGAINST EVERY STATE

In February 2025, the public prosecutor of Munich again carried out a repressive operation  against anarchists, this time in the form of raids and arrests. The Bavarian police state, embarrassed by anarchist publications and anonymous attacks, invents accusations and looks for suspicious individuals to blame. The anarchist agitation of recent years has developed a subversive reach that is difficult to assess but certainly is uncontrollable. Anarchist ideas spread on paper and put into practice can prove to be a dangerous mixture contributing to the spread of social revolt.

During these raids, the cops arrested our comrades, N. and M. who are currently still held in pre-trial detention. The reason: an ongoing case which suspects the comrades of having been part of an alleged editorial team, declared a criminal organisation, for the anarchist newspaper Zündlumpen. The invention of this accusation led to several raids in 2022, the confiscation of an entire print shop and the closure of the Munich anarchist library Frevel.

Chile) Account of a New Day of the Youth Combatant (March 29). After 40 Years, the Streets Still Shout Memory and Total Liberation

April 2, 2025 / informativoanarquista

Translated by Act for freedom now!


Like every March 29, with greater or lesser intensity, the Day of the Youth Combatant is commemorated in different points of the territory dominated by the chilean state. This year the date fell on a Saturday, leading high school students from the Liceo de Aplicación, Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño, INBA, Liceo 1, Instituto Nacional and Liceo Eduardo de la Barra (Valparaíso), university students on the campuses of Juan Gómez Millas, Universidad de la Frontera (Temuco) and Universidad de Playa Ancha (Valparaíso), and comrades in general to start riots and confrontations with the police in high schools, universities and in the center of Santiago on Thursday the 27 and Friday the 28. Various gestures of agitation also accompanied these days.

On the night of Saturday the 29, the streets Cerro Navia, Estación Central, Quinta Normal, San Bernardo, Huechuraba, Peñalolén, among others, were lit up. Comrades confronted the police with molotovs, stones and homemade or industrial guns in a new commemoration of the Day of the Youth Combatant in combative memory of Eduardo and Rafael Vergara Toledo, Luisa Toledo, Mauricio Maigret, Claudia López, Mauricio Morales, Sebastián Oversluij, Luciano Pitronello, Belén Navarrete. They along with many other dead comrades still remain present through anarchist action, absolutely removed from any iconic or symbolic role or elements of admiration.

Athens,(Greece): Under the concrete, something’s boiling – BUILDING SQUAD IN EXARXEIA by Rasprava occupation

After the end of the event “Revolutionary memory and the struggle perspective “ in Messolonggiou [pedestrian area of Exarxeia], a crowd of comrades descended on the corner of Koletti and Themistokleous streets to defend the liberation of the building in course.

The following is the self-presentation of the occupation:

The silence of the metropolis weighs on our backs like a stone. The streets are full of tired looks, bodies crawling out of habit, fear, submission. People move along prescribed paths without questioning, tempering their dreams. Everything is programmed to work exactly as they want: work, consumption, obedience. But, always, beneath the surface, something is boiling.

History is not written by the obedient. Some choose to bear the burden of disobedience. To crack the concrete of normality. To confront the invisible hand of power that suffocates every aspect of our lives. Refusing to submit is not a mere stance. It is a call to question, overthrow, take back what belongs to us.

Warlike, Howling, Pure: book presentation & discussion

Wednesday 9th April, 7pm

Touchpaper Anarchist Library

From the day when battery-run voices began broadcasting old speeches to battery-run listeners, the beast has been talking to itself. Having swallowed everyone and everything outside itself, the beast becomes its own sole frame of reference. It entertains itself, exploits itself and wars on itself. It has reached the end of its Progress, for there is nothing left for it to progress against except itself.

Leviathan is turning into Narcissus, admiring its own synthetic image in its own synthetic pond, enraptured by its spectacle of itself.

It is a good time for people to let go of its sanity, its masks and armors, and go mad, for they are already being ejected from its pretty polis.”

– Fredy Perlman, Against His-story, Against Leviathan

Anarchists fight against poverty and enslavement, in spiritual as well as material form. Our struggle – which takes freedom and self-responsibility as both means and ends – has been expressed as an ecstatic “Yea to life”, as an unleashing of the “creative nothing” of individual uniqueness, and as “the conquest of life and the realization of our dreams.” Therefore anarchists have always been heretics and blasphemers, deserters of all orthodoxies, enemies of clerics, and sometimes burners of shrines and temples.

 But anyone who loves freedom and dignity can find no complicity among atheists who replace religion with the worship of scientific and technological progress – which has colonised and devastated the whole planet to feed its ghostly meat-grinder, the economy.

 The author of a new book, “Warlike, Howling, Pure” (Contagion Press, 2024), will present some stories of rebels who have fought against domination, with looted weapons or bare hands, armed also with spiritual convictions that animated their fight against colonisation and domestication.

About the repressive operation in Germany and Austria. Solidarity with the arrested anarchists

[Published in German in https://de.indymedia.org/node/497199 | Translated into Italian and published in https://lanemesi.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/10/a-proposito-delloperazione-repressiva-in-germania-e-austria-solidrieta-con-gli-anarchici-arrestati/] Translated to EN/ by Act for freedom now!


Solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists N. and M.!
About the repressive operation

No, it wasn’t a carneval committee, that of the 26th of February 2025 which presented itself in eight different localities at around10pm, with 140 clowns in masks flaunting weapons and performing pathetic sketches. No, they were cops. And no, their exaggerated spectacle was anything but amusing, because it led to the arrest of our anarchist comrades M. and N.

Below, we are reporting more details about the searches, the arrests and the preliminary proceedings.

Two arrests, three preliminary proceedings

There are three different procedures:
– The procedure, known since 2022, is against the presumed editors of Zündlumpen [ndt. German language anarchist paper published between 2019 and 2021] on charges of criminal association. The arrest warrant for M. and N. was issued during this procedure. Those under investigation in this investigatory strand are three in all (then they became four, now they are three again). More information in these two texts: About raids and a §129 procedure against anarchists and the theft of a printing space and The persecution of anarchists and cigarette butts in the Bavarian-Christian kingdom 2022.

Speeches of the Imprisoned Anarchist Comrades Dimitra Z. and Marianna M. for the Demonstration in Solidarity with Daniela Klette in Berlin. (Germany)

On February 22, 2025, a demonstration took place in Berlin in solidarity with Daniela Klette, who is currently imprisoned in Vechta prison awaiting her first upcoming trial.
On this occasion, the anarchist comrades Dimitra Z. and Marianna M., who are currently in Korydallos prison, sent speeches that were read out.

——-

Statement of Dimitra Z.

On the 26th of February, last year, and after 3 decades of being in underground, Daniela Klette was arrested in the center of Berlin and was transferred to the Vechta prison. The accusations that the comrade has to face in the trials are the participation in armed bank robberies as well as the participation in some of the attacks with the armed organization RAF. It is worth to mention the way of the arrestment of Klette, that some journalists played the role of the cop and with the help of artificial intelligence they used an old photography of her and assimilated how she could look like today with the result to detect her in a random picture on facebook. The whole operation of the arrestment of Klette was reminding the manhunting of the 70s and 80s and it came to the front the myth of RAF. The state propaganda played a huge role in all the mainstream media by reliving the narratives of the past by mirroring the personalities of the fighters, depoliticized their actions and calumniated them.

However the comrade Klette (as well as the comrades Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkard Garweg, who are still in underground) managed for 34 years to live free in the heart of the beast being unobserved from the radar of repression. Their life is a proof that the so called powerful german state is a narrative that comes from their own propaganda and is nothing more than a house of cards. Even though the high developed technologies of surveillance, the uncounted of specialized units of repression, LKA, BKA, specialized scientists and technocrats and the militarized equipment, the comrade managed in these three decades to humiliate them by living in the center of Berlin, in Kreuzberg, one the most surveilled neighborhoods of the city.

South London,UK : Tuesday 18th March 2025, 7pm at Touchpaper Anarchist Library THE KRONSTADT UPRISING Presentation & Discussion“A little farther… / we are at the threshold.”

THE KRONSTADT UPRISING

Presentation & Discussion“A little farther… / we are at the threshold.”

In March 1921, in the Russian naval town of Kronstadt, tens of thousands of workers, sailors and soldiers rose up against the red butchers of the ‘commissarocracy’, which had strangled their three-year-old revolution.

There was revolutionary self-organisation, mass desertion of the Communist Party, and a fight to the death.

Their love of freedom, dignity, revolutionary solidarity and social justice was poison and dynamite to the bureaucratic and political masters who slaughtered them. Those slaughterers helped to build the world of mechanised obedience that we live in today. But as an insurgent wrote at the time, “no one has the power to kill an idea”.

(Chile) Week of Agitation in Memory of Comrade Javier Recabarren, March 11-18, 2025

via: informativoanarquista Translated by Act for freedom now!

Reposted from Contrainfo

“And even if death does not occur in direct confrontation, it’s us who must relive each history, who must construct the combative memory of our siblings so that their memory isn’t transformed into a citizenist memorial, so that their face isn’t that of some idol; So that the war they made in life forms part of the revolutionary impulse. Their stories, convictions and contradictions accompany us in each action, in each night of sabotage, in each destructive impulse of the society of misery, each gesture of rebellion.”
-Belén Navarrete
Writing in memory of comrade Javier Recabarren. November 2015.

A ROAR BETWEEN ANIMALS

On March 18, 2015 anarchist and anti-speciesist comrade Javier Recabarren died after being run over by a transantiago bus on the intersection of Radal and Alameda, Santiago.

Javier, who was only 11 years old, had already participated in various anti-authoritarian initiatives, solidarity activities, meetings, demonstrations, masking up and confronting the bastard police. A slap in the face to anyone who thinks that you have to be a certain age to choose the path of conflict.
