The Conflict in Abya Yala and its Proximity to “Switch Off!”: Anarchic Words Concerning the Necessary Struggle for the Earth

February 26, 2024 / informativoanarquista

(text and poster received by email 20/02/24, unfortunately the email went to spam)

Faced with devastation: sabotage and war! As the comrades who have raised and formed part of the campaign have understood it, “Switch Off! The system of destruction” consists of the “attack against companies and infrastructures that feed the ecological catastrophe across the world”. Here also, in Abya Yala (ancestral name for the territory known as America), multiple struggles for the defense of the earth have been developed, from the precolonial peoples who continue fighting, to new anarchic perspectives that tip more and more into the struggle for the earth. While we haven’t been able to stop the ecological catastrophe entirely, we can find concrete examples of territorial victories that have managed to stop, expel or at least considerably push back the materialization of extractivist projects, like the resistance and armed offensive of diverse mapuche organizations in Wallmapu.

The struggles in different latitudes aren’t detached form one another and they aim at the same enemies. This is why we believe it favorable to make the “Switch Off!” campaign our own, endowing it with our own territorial circumstances to avoid overlooking our particularities.

Hamburg, Germany: For more « communitarian resistance »

de.indymedia.org / Friday 1st March 2024

In the night from 29th February to 1st March, we met up armed with tyres, paint and hammers to make a little tour of the Elbchaussee.

In solidarity with the accused in the trial named « de Rondenbarg* » (within the framework of the G20), we modified the facades of two luxury estate agents somewhat and erected a barricade.

RE/MAX office in Amsterdam vandalized in solidarity with Palestine (Netherlands )

RE/MAX office vandalized in solidarity with Palestine

The RE/MAX office on the Vijzelstraat in Amsterdam had its locks glued and windows painted with the message: “RE/MAX SELLS STOLEN LAND” and “FREE PALESTINE.”

The multinational real estate company has an office in the colonial Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim and sells/rents properties in many of the major Israeli settlements in the West Bank as well as in occupied East Jerusalem. This is land that has been violently stolen from Palestinians and colonized by Israeli settlers.

Solidarity! Thales machines vandalised.

In the night of Thursday 25/1/24 a group of people threw red paint on the ticket machines and gates of Thales at a Rotterdam metro station. “Thales Kills” and anarchist symbols were left on scene.

The action was in solidarity with all who suffer from the machines of authority, and specifically against the genocide in Palestine.
We want to send love to Sam who is on hungerstrike.

Waymo Vehicles Attacked in Solidarity With Palestine and Atlanta. ( San Francisco ,USA)

Waymo Vehicles Attacked in Solidarity With Palestine and Atlanta

In the past several weeks, we used hammers and knives to sabotage multiple Waymo self-driving vehicles in San Francisco. We attacked Waymo in solidarity with the Palestinian people and resistance. Waymo is owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent company. Google, together with Amazon, has a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to “Israel” and its military as part of Project Nimbus.

As anarchists, we oppose the proliferation of this dystopian technology on our streets. Each car is a mobile 360-degree surveillance camera and Waymo has already turned over footage to the police. We have a unique opportunity to attack this industry in a critical time and place. In November, Waymo’s competitor Cruise was forced to recall its entire fleet after one of its cars struck and dragged a pedestrian.

Fire for Tesla: Berlin,Germany

Fire for Tesla: Berlin

Two Teslas were set on fire in Rummelsburg on February 7 and two Tesla charging stations on Vulkanstraße on February 8.

We think that Tesla is an ideal target for our attacks.

Because:

> Several armies use Tesla’s Starlink satellite system in their wars. Including Israel in Gaza. Also Ukraine. Tesla’s Starlink infrastructure is an important military player and attacks on Tesla can be a sign everywhere: against every war!

APD Patrol Car Torched in Lakewood [Atlanta, GA]

APD Patrol Car Torched in Lakewood

One APD vehicle was burned overnight as an initial response to the repressive operation of February 8, which involved three house raids and the arrest of John “Jack” Mazurek, who is being held without bail.

We wish to dispel any notion that people will take this latest wave of repression lying down, or that arresting alleged arsonists will deter future arsons.

Jack is accused of participating in the arson attack of July 1, 2023, when eight APD motorcyles were burned at the current police training center that Cop City is intended to replace. The group that claimed responsibility for that action called for the movement against Cop City to develop into an urban guerrilla struggle. This is still the only sensible course of action for anyone in Atlanta who considers themselves a serious revolutionary.

Attack on Police Union Cars in Berlin, Germany

Attack on Police Union Cars in Berlin

The GdP is the largest German police union. It has over 200,000 members across Germany and is a member of the DGB. The GdP is more than one union, but a lobby organization for the interests of German cops.

Their political agenda is as dull and small-minded as one would expect from a police association: more money, more weapons, more powers to use force. Its representatives are busy giving interviews, appearing at congresses such as the European Police Congress and the German Security Conference, and listening to ministers and senior officials across the country. Not infrequently with success.

Patras, Greece: Claiming responsibility for the attack on the City Unity private College by Anarchists

Patras, Claiming responsibility for the attack on the City Unity private College by Anarchists

In the continuous advance of educational restructuring in Greece over recent years, domestic and international bosses have found fertile ground for profit in the name of education and higher education, which, based on European standards, is rapidly moving towards its transformation into another commercial product. From tuition fees in postgraduate courses and mandatory private contractors within the social welfare of the state universities (cooking, cleaning), the managers and sponsoring companies, the businesses on the campuses (Coffee island being a shocking example in the city of Patras) capital is flowing into the areas of what was once asylum, as it tries to go with the policy of privatization in all areas of life.

Within this condition, we do not find it surprising that both in Patras and other cities, they have found fertile ground for the private interests of IEK and colleges to flourish, for which the circumvention of Article 16 through the “free university” bill is the ideal condition for upgrading the degrees they provide to a level equal to that of public universities, leading to a subsequent degradation of public ones as they will not be able to compete with the private ones, leading them either to closure or to the path of commercialization, raising even greater class barriers in accessibility to higher education and literacy.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for Parcel – Bomb to the President of the Court of Appeal Anastasia Anthopoulou by ‘Armed Response’

Thessaloniki, Responsibility claim for Parcel – Bomb to the President of the Court of Appeal Anastasia Anthopoulou by ‘Armed Response’

The work of the judicial officials is clearly aimed at torturing and impoverishing all prisoners and in general all those who unfortunately have to face their fate.

Judges, prosecutors, appellants, all together have for years created a closed group of torturers, of course with the help and complicity of the governments of the day.

Attack on a hotel with Israeli interests by Anarchists for the victory of the Palestinian resistance (Athens,Greece)

Attack on a hotel with Israeli interests
by Anarchists for the victory of the Palestinian resistance

On the evening of January 5th, we chose to target the Bob W Akadimia Athens in the Exarcheia area at 4 Zalongou Street, a hotel with Israeli interests. This action was obviously carried out to support the resistance in Palestine against the murderous state of Israel and to target Israeli capital in our country, but a reason could not exist here without taking into account the gentrification of this particular neighbourhood and the tourism in it aimed at bending the resistance that Exarcheia has had as its roots for many decades. Through gentrification, the neighbourhood is aimed at becoming a middle-class amusement park and ultimately at changing its class status, driving out the residents and activists who live and operate in it.

As far as the Palestinian question is concerned, we understand our obligation to act from our own position and place.

As anarchists, we must stand in practical solidarity with the people of Palestine, show that, contrary to the bigotry and the “puppet government”, Greek society is on the right side of history, which has also been shown by the magnificent demonstrations that have been held in this country from 7/10 on wards.

Germany: Thales Group Vehicle Attacked in Berlin: For Refaat – For Gaza

In the early hours of February 15, we set fire to a Mercedes van belonging to the French arms company Thales in Berlin. Standing up for the oppressed in Gaza and Palestine is a matter of dignity.

If I Must Die

If I must die,

you must live

to tell my story

to sell my things

to buy a piece of cloth

and some strings,

(make it white with a long tail)

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza

while looking heaven in the eye

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—

and bid no one farewell

not even to his flesh

not even to himself—

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above

and thinks for a moment an angel is there

bringing back love

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

— poem written by the Palestinian poet, writer and professor, Refaat Alareer who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on December 6, 2023 along with 6 members of his family.

Düsseldorf (Germany): incendiary sabotage of railroad tracks.

de.indymedia,21 January 2024

[Switch off] Rail strike extended

We took advantage of the back-to-back strikes and protests to paralyze the rail tracks near Düsseldorf in the Eller district again two weeks ago, using an incendiary device. They could not be repaired before the start of the freight strike. The fact that the State Protection Service (Staatsschutz) is now leading the investigation shows us the potential that such simple means can develop with the right timing.

We believe that a state that destroys our means of subsistence and profits from imperialist wars is not worth protecting at all. On the contrary, we must protect ourselves from it.

$hile: Territorial Action by Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group

Territorial Action by Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group

On January 6 in the Las Araucarias, Los Copihues neighborhood we, the Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group, carried out a territorial takeover, moving in the neighborhood that marked 54 years since its creation under the name Popular Unity Occupation. We gave out pamphlets, zines and information that highlight the importance of direct action and territorial self organization as valid and necessary means to retake our lives, just as Matías taught us.

There are many examples across history that show us how, from a place of autonomy and direct action, that create other ways of inhabiting this world in the here and now. Land occupations constitute one of the most effective forms to solve, in a direct way, a problem as large as access to housing, as well as empowering the revolutionary struggle, creating fertile spaces to carry out revolutionary processes.
