(A-Radio) Fundraising tour of ABC Belarus 2022, the war in Ukraine and lessons from the Belarus uprising

Dear all,

Anarchist Black Cross Belarus recently finished an infotour in Germany, France and Switzerland, partly organized by the Federation of German-speaking Anarchists (FdA-IFA). We were able to talk to a comrade after their presentation in Berlin on 6 October 2022. The first half is about the dire political situation in Belarus at the moment, two years after the uprising as well as in the context of the war in Ukraine. In the second half we summarized together lessons from the presentation for antiauthoritarian and anarchist movements in future uprisings.

Buenos Aires Argentina : Anarchist Bookfair and Gathering – November 20 and 21

Buenos Aires: Anarchist Bookfair and Gathering – November 20 and 21

The anarchist boofair will be held November 20 and 21 in Morón; repeating what we did last year at the Plaza China Cuellar in CABA.

We understand that there may be confusion regarding the fact that there will be two anarchist bookfairs in Buenos Aires this year, and so we will use this moment to explain and clarify the panorama to those who are reading from other lattitudes.

We are not interested in opening the door of virtual gossip, but rather in making it clear that there are two bookfairs because of different ways of organizing, that we have things to say and things to suggest.

SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONALISTA Y COMPLICIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA CON EL COMPAÑERO ALFREDO CÓSPITO EN HUELGA DE HAMBRE

El compañero lleva en huelga de hambre en una cárcel italiana desde el 20 de octubre de 2022, contra el régimen penitenciario del 41 bis, al que fue trasladado el 5 de mayo y que contempla un aislamiento extremo como castigo por su clara conciencia y acción revolucionaria. Los anarquistas en prisión en Francia, Ivan Alocco y Juan Sorroche, en Italia, se sumaron también a la huelga de hambre. Se suceden las acciones en solidaridad en todo el mundo.

Por Alfredo y todas y todos lxs anarquistas y revolucionarixs represaliadxs en el mundo!
Abajo el 41bis!.

Paris,France: Discussion at Libertad anarchist library Storming the shadowed heavens?

Paris ,Discussion at Libertad: Storming the shadowed heavens?

Thursday, November 3, 6:00 pm

Anyone who seeks to understand what conditions exist that give rise to the potential for any revolutionary hypothesis today must, sooner or later, formulate the entire set of problems with clarity, in order to be able to face them. Tracing the thread of radical and revolutionary critique back to the recent past, but also looking at the generalized uprisings and revolts of the last few years here and internationally, could enable us to take a step in this direction. Not with the intention of finding ready-made answers and especially not “solutions”, but to modestly start asking questions, without waiting for the next insurrection.

FIRST OF NOVEMBER TERNI – SPOLETO: GATHERINGS IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, JUAN AND THE PRISONERS IN REVOLT

ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
END 41 BIS
EVERYBODY FREE

The anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike since 20th October in the prison of Sassari against the regime of 41 bis that he has been subjected to since last May, after ten years in Maximum Security. The unprecedented decision to keep an anarchist in 41 bis is just the tip of the iceberg of the authoritarian backlash in act in Italy, a backlash inaugurated with the prison massacre in March 2020, followed by investigations against trade union struggles, with logistics workers accused of ‘extortion’ against the boss because they demanded wage increases, in a particularly fierce preventive counterrevolution against the anarchist movement as indicated by the seizures of books and newspapers, the endless special surveillance, the sentencing of Juan Sorroche to 28 years’ prison and the Court of Cassation of the scripta manent trial.
TUESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
10am – Prison of Terni
2pm – Prison of Spoleto
SOLIDARITY GATHERINGS
• We will bring news of Alfredo’s struggle against the 41 bis sections!
• In solidarity with Juan, maximum-security prisoner in the prison of Terni!
• In solidarity with the medium-security prisoners in the prison of Terni protagonists in the revolt of last October 16!
• In solidarity with Roberto Morandi, revolutionary communist in 41 bis in the prison of Spoleto!

THE ONLY VIABLE PATH 

Our comrade Alfredo Cospito finds himself imprisoned under the 41bis regime. This measure was ordered after months of censureship of correspondence and following the repressive operation Sibilla of November 2021, for which he received an arrest warrant in prison. Behind this repressive aggravation of Alfredo’s conditions of imprisonment there is the overt will of the State to silence a comrade who, during these years of imprisonment has contributed to the anarchist debate enormously with articles and interventions.

The 41 bis is a hard prison regime created to isolate, silence and annihilate the prisoner, in an attempt to get him to cooperate with Justice. Established in the late 1980s, it was initially applied in exceptional cases of riots or serious emergency situations within prison institutions. In 1992, after the Capaci massacre, it was extended to Mafia prisoners. Since 2002, it has also been applied to those convicted of terrorism and subversion, thus as an instrument of political repression. Some prisoners belonging to the communist organisation BR-PCC are also currently in this regime. Originally established as a detention regime of a temporary nature, from emergency to emergency, this exceptionality has become the norm. A mechanism, this one, which has become daily bread for the majority of the population since the proclamation of the so-called pandemic. It is now clear: once an emergency measure is established, there is no going back.

Italy: WE DO NOT ALLOW THE MURDER OF ALFREDO COSPITO – ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20th / CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILIZATION.ΕΝ/ΙΤ/ΕL

WE DO NOT ALLOW THE MURDER OF ALFREDO COSPITO – ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20th / CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILIZATION

On Oct. 20th, the anarchist Alfredo Cospito, during a trial at the Sassari Supervisory Court, made an attempt to read an articulate statement in which he was about to announce that he is starting a hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime to which he is subjected and against the hostile life sentence. A battle that Alfredo does not intend to stop, until his own death. The comrade, who has been in 41 bis since last May 5th, under a decree signed by then Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia, is now being detained in the Bancali prison in Sardinia.

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist who has always been at the front line of struggles, never willing to compromise or give up. He is a comrade who has been fighting since the late 1980s, a period in which he was imprisoned as a total objector (for refusing to serve in the obligatory military service) and who, after his arrest in 2012, during the trial that followed, claimed the responsibility for the shooting of Ansaldo Nucleare executive Roberto Adinolfi, an act that was carried out by the Cell “Olga Nucleus” / Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front (FAI/IRF) and occurred on May 7th of the same year in Genoa.

(México) Feria Internacional de Agitación y Kultura Anarkista

FERIA INTERNACIONAL DE AGITACIÓN Y KULTURA ANARQUISTA

Es una propuesta para encontrarnos entre anarquistas de diversas
latitudes sin importar fronteras ni banderas, con el fin de compartir
ideas, prácticas y experiencias para ponerlas en juego en nuestras vidas  cotidianas y en nuestros contextos particulares. No es la intención crear una organización pesada ni amplia que aglutine a lxs anárquicos bajo una misma voz o programa; nos regocijamos en la diversidad y la fuerza de la afinidad y la solidaridad y, de lo que ella pueda surgir.

Siempre teniendo en cuenta lo que no queremos, que para nosotrxs es no sumarnos a la vorágine progresista, conservadora, tecnófila, ciudadana, estatista, capitalista en sus mil y una formas que pueda tomar, ya sea viniendo de sectores de izquierda o de derecha. Ya que en los últimos años ha sabido manipular la historia y propuestas anarquistas para ofrecer todo menos anarquía y sí, soluciones y discursos hipócritas que apuntalan el poder que nosotrxs combatimos.

Son pocos los lugares donde podemos encontrarnos y la avasallante fuerza mediática de las redes sociales y su ingeniería social, han orillado a sumergirnos aún más en el espectáculo, el consumo, el confinamiento, el miedo y a la desarticulación, sumado a los diferentes golpes represivos a la galaxia anarquista en el planeta tierra. Ante esto, nos vemos llamadxs a re-impulsar redes para seguir expandiendo y potenciando nuestro amor por la revuelta y la desobediencia, pero cada vez con más
información, con más cautela, con más memoria y buscando los medios para poder aprovechar y articular nuestras historias pasadas en la lucha contra toda autoridad. Es por ello, que lejos de mitificar/santificar el pasado y la memoria de personajes e historias anarquistas, preferimos generar discusiones que se postren en las realidades actuales, sin ensoñaciones de un prolífico futuro, ni nostalgias de un pasado siempre mejor. Nos conformamos -y no es poco- con practicar una ética anarquista
en el aquí y ahora, para evadir la miseria, la explotación y la tristeza
impuesta, lo demás siempre está por verse.
