I don’t vote
I don’t vote. Because I don’t want to choose a master, to choose the one who will decide for me what is good for me, and will force me to 
respect his choices, which he will pass off as my own. I don’t want the majority to determine my servitude, for the cattle to build the fences that enclose them and appoint those who will rule me too, no matter what I think.
I don’t vote because I don’t want the world they impose on me, I don’t recognize the idea of nation, of a people, of citizenship, considering that the States always manage to fabricate identities that give the illusion of a unity in a population. Continue reading Poster : I don’t vote (France)
Greetings outside the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere
Italy – Greetings outside the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere

———————–
10th of April ,Last Sunday a few dozen trans-feminists in solidarity went to give greetings to those locked up in the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere on the second anniversary of the 6th April 2020 “massacre of the holy week”. Shouts from inside were already rising as we were reaching the spot as near to the windows as possible. Many prisoners looked out of the windows, asking for help and demanding freedom; many shouted about lack of water and inedible food, besides the awful unbearable conditions of life inside. Attempts at talking with them were almost immediately hampered by the prison police’s sirens intended to prevent communication and intimidate the people there in solidarity. From inside some started shouting that we should go, warning us that guards were coming.

June 11, 2022 International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners
[En Español]
[Français]
As time moves on and the seasons change, we approach once again the June 11th International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. Another year has passed, and many of our dear comrades remain captives of the state, subject to its daily subjugation, isolation, and brutality. June 11th is a time to stop the ever-quickening rush of our lives and remember.
Remember our imprisoned comrades. Remember our own histories of revolt. Remember the flame – sometimes flickering, sometimes blazing – of anarchism.
WE ARE ALL POTENTIAL PRISONERS
With June 11th, we desire to deepen a critique of prison that challenges the distinction between prisoner and supporter. For us, these differences are conditional: we, as anarchists, see ourselves as potential prisoners. Some of us have been, some of us will be. This is the basis of our solidarity – a recognition of ourselves in the plight of those in prison.

Munich (Germany): Raids and charges (article 129) against anarchists
On Tuesday 26.04.2022, coordinated raids were carried out in various flats in Munich and at the anarchist library Frevel, as part of an investigation into criminal organization.
Those involved are accused of incitement to criminal activity through anarchist publications. The cops confiscated almost every anarchist newspaper and pamphlet along with all printing equipment. Two of the accused were identified and DNA samples were taken; the two were then released. All of the accused are out of custody.
The cops are trying to intimidate, scare, and terrorize us, but we are not surprised that in times of state of emergencies and war, the state is cracking down on its enemies, on anarchist ideas and on the means to spread them.
More info will follow…
No speculations…

It is regularly used in Germany against revolutionaries, and has been used in recent years in Leipzig, Weimar, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin.

Barcelona 27F – Playing havoc with freedom
As of 27th February 2021 four comrades have been held in the prison of BRIANS 1 in Martorell (BC). Initially the arrests were 8. They are accused of attempted murder and of forming a criminal group following their participation in a demonstration in Barcelona where the side of a municipal police van burned for 30 seconds. There was a guard inside who got out calmly.
Clearly a frame-up. Plotted by the State in order to break off the demonstrations that in full COVID confinement agitated the main Spanish cities. In solidarity with rapper Pablo Hasél, still also a prisoner, for crimes of opinion.

Faenza, Italy – Friday 29th April: 10 years of the Capitano ACAB Anti-repression Fund
10 years of the Capitano ACAB Anti-repression Fund
Although commemorations are not our strong point, we want to use this occasion to relaunch the project of the anti-repression fund and bring it up to date. Introducing it to those who don’t know it, sustaining it for those who already follow and support it. An instrument at the service of those who struggle, who find themselves uncomfortable in this world and come up against its repressive meshes. A way of continuing collective or individual projects in solidarity with those who defy the cages of the law.

Antimilitarist Notes, On the Anarchist Struggle Against Conscription in Italy. For Social Rebellion Against the Exploiters and Murderers!
PDF A4 PRINT OUT:
A new pamphlet, circulated in London, recalling the proud rebellion and ‘total objection’ to militarisation and its logic from a period of escalated social-conflictuality in Italy in the 70s/80s.
“I don’t want these words, fruit of a gut refusal to do military service, deepened and enriched with the critique and practice from the movement of total objection that was a force in Italian anarchism at the time, to disappear into oblivion. Surely they are more than mere sheets of paper among the many clogging up the anteroom of the paper shredder.
And the protagonists? What has become of them? Would they say the same today decades later, and be ready to pay the consequences: years of prison or a life on the run? Or were their discourses forged with the fire of youth, arrogant in the ugly face of the warmongering State avid for their bodies and minds to dull and indoctrinate, train as insensate killers in uniform prepared also to be killed or maimed themselves? Does it matter, does it detract from the power that the words still hold? Still today military service is a plague in many parts of the world, and our hatred of armies, killing machines, prevents us from becoming indifferent to the plight of millions of young people all over the world should we just stop to think of them for a moment, all the more so as new tanks are beginning to trundle and populations are egging on thousands of enthusiastic youth (killers or corpses?) in staged photo shoots.

Lecce, Italy – IV edition of “Idea and Action”, Anarchist Publishing Fair, 21st/22nd May,2022
Received by email
We are fighting for an antiauthoritarian idea, without governments, bosses or exploitation, an idea of freedom that spreads its beauty everywhere propagating its reflection beyond all borders removing enclosures, constraints and submission. Freedom so offended, forever denied by those who want to control everyone’s life in order to exploit it more. If our times are increasingly times of war, resignation is the last response we want to give.
As States only see populations as cannon fodder, enemies to be domesticated and kept under control, we must desert.
Politics is against people and keeps them constantly on thorns in the anguish of a miserable existence, filed and imprisoned under increasingly suffocating coercive rules. Machines are replacing individuals more and more in an irreversible process of dehumanization. The catastrophe is in place and all over the world the powerful are giving the final push towards the abyss. If all this is against us, then we are against all this.

Czech Republic : Money for anarchists, necklace for Lukashenko
Money for anarchists, necklace for Lukashenko
Some time ago, a decision was made to raise funds for the anarchists being prosecuted in so-called Belarus. First there was a tattoo fundraiser and later a fundraising D.I.Y. book published under the title “Words Against Isolation or As Long As There Are Prisons, Let’s Write Letters.”
So far, these activities have raised 700 euro. These funds will support five anarchists convicted for their willingness to resist the dictatorship. Namely these people: Nikola Dziadok (sentenced for 5 years), Sergei Romanov (sentenced for 20 years), Igor Olinevich (sentenced for 20 years), Dmitri Rezanovich (sentenced for 19 years) and Dmitri Dubovsky (sentenced for 18 years).

Montreuil (93) ,France: The technological chains are hanging on by a thread!
The technological chains are hanging on by a thread!
About the sabotage of cell phone antennas, television relays and fiber optic cables, let’s meet at the Marble to discuss a multifaceted struggle against the infrastructure of power. Friday, April 22nd at 7pm.
For a few years now, an open and unmediated struggle has been spreading its wings in a way that is, to say the least, unexpected. This struggle does not call for changes in the existing situation during large movements seeking unity, but proceeds to a direct destruction of the infrastructures of power during walks under the moon. It does not concentrate on a specific territory to defend, but develops by attacking targets that are everywhere, within reach of everyone. It does not need self-proclaimed leaders frequenting social networks or TV shows, but makes its way autonomously through the actions of individuals who each have their own reasons and perspectives. It ignores organizational specialists or deadlines set in advance by others, sabotaging cell phone antennas, television relays and fiber optic cables unexpectedly and diffusely, with means as banal as a pair of wire cutters, flaming tires or a little well-placed gasoline. It causes not only the temporary interruption of the flow of control and exploitation, but also hundreds of thousands of euros of damage.
