[Rigaer94] Wir haben eine Verabredung | Conspiracy to Overthrow the Existent

When we conspire
Conspire to hold
hold hold hold
hold on hold out and hold together
and jump when we feel it right
let our fire set us ablaze so everyone can see our spark

conspire to remember the feeling of moss under our feet
the feeling of sun on our skin
the smell of roots and melting asphalt
the burn in legs and lungs after a last second sprint
to feel each others‘ passion and motivation
to be compassionate with ourselves
conspire to guide our desires to their truest targets
When we conspire our fires so bright

Today we live a cycle of devastation and wars, of ecocide, of intensifying technological and social control. Day by day, we watch companies devour misery and death, supported by state militaries. Defense budgets soar as the parliaments of western countries support genocides, as they finance conflict in the global south to maintain their control over living beings and their environments, which they have categorised as resources. We watch companies enrich themselves through exploitation of the living world to continue the madness of technological progress and the farce of the ecological transition.

Programm 2024

Active Internationalism

As a starting point for this discussion, we propose to orientate ourselves on a text from an anarchist meeting in Brussels in 2011. Even though certain circumstances have changed since then, it can still serve as a starting point.

The old internationalist tale

Having a fast look at the era of the first International and the revolutionary brotherhoods which in those days were able to stimulate and stir up a permanent insurrectional tension across the borders, tells us a lot about the paradoxal situation we are now living in. Never before have there been so many means of transport, travel and communication, never before were the curcumstances in different countries so much alike and yet it seems as if we, anarchists and revolutionaries, have never been so much attached to the stately borders. Paradoxaly it seems as if the globalisation of the domination goes together with the de-internationalisation of its declared enemies.

It´s not that all left-overs of the old internationalist tale have been swept away, but let´s be frank: it´s a dim situation. We don´t really get any further than solidary pats on the back and in the best case some sharing of experiences and projectualities. Simply having a look at the shameful lack of perspectives around the insurrections across the meditarenean (or, as you wish, around the revolt of december 2008 in Greece) is sufficient to become aware of this.

Genoa: Anti-prison day

At the Ex Latteria Occupata in Stradone Sant’Agostino, Genoa

Hi compas & friends!

As in recent years the Agro-Crust has been reduced to just one day/night of activities. We are all aware that the capabilities of the anarchist movement have decreased during this time in these territories quite a bit.

The impact of technocracy and the pandemic among others causes have caused many problems (climate, economic and social etc.). Capitalist states choose by wars and repression to save their rotten system. The consequences of all this are catastrophic, especially in the poor areas of the planet, but not exclusively. Droughts caused mainly by agriculture and industrial livestock, deforestation and destruction of ecosystems also has its impacts in the territories of the ‘first world’ states.

The strength of the struggles and resistance of every corner of the world planet depend on many factors that have to be tested locally to be effective in all the senses.

For the week of 20-26 May, an organising committee (OC) is inviting radical  opponents of war from all over Europe to a week of action and a conference “against capitalist wars and capitalist peace” in Prague. In an interview with Transmitter, the organisers explain the aim of this meeting and their view of the war in Ukraine and how various left-wing movements are dealing with it.

Q: From 20.-26. of May you are planning an antiwar Action Week. What shall happen in these days in Prague?

R: Each day during this Action Week will see a different event. There will be presentations, discussions, fundraisers, protests and various types of direct action. We see the Action Week not as the D-day but as only one moment in the process of building the revolutionary defeatist community. A process that includes exchanges of texts and critiques, discussions, organization of concrete actions, continuity of the community, etc. What we hope for is that we will be able to build stronger relations in the camp of revolutionary defeatism and if possible, to reach a certain level of programmatic centralization while keeping the decentralization of actions.
