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.

Words of the comrade Pablo “Oso” Bahamondes on March 29. Brief reflections for debate. (CHILE)

Words of the comrade Pablo “Oso” Bahamondes on March 29
Faced with another Youth Combatant Day, I believe it is pertinent to pause for a moment to look at the life stories of many of our comrades who have fallen in combat, who took up this subversive path, despite the various political contexts in which capital is masked.
This day marks a real concrete milestone in which we rediscover our history and the dialectics of life, which leads us to question our practices as individuals and collectivity on a daily basis.
The expression of combativity is not just reduced to dates or moments of actions (barricades, confrontations, sabotage, etc.), but extends to all forms of collective work deployed in various spaces. It is a daily permanent practice that requires learning, debates and real connection with our surroundings, building affinities and clearly stating our proposals for the destruction of this reality, and it is the task of all of us.
We cannot fall into unbridled spontaneity in the actions we propose.
The networks of complicity are woven in practice and not in virtuality, not in the superficial discourse, poster or selfie published like a crude advertising commercial; much less through ambivalence in regards to institutionality, endorsing conventions and / or elections, arguing the classic “I vote, but I also organize”.
We must be able to enter self-criticism, rethink ourselves, no matter how hard it might seem to us.

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).

Grenoble,France : These saboteurs of the ultra-left have been elusive for five years

Grenoble : These saboteurs of the ultra-left have been elusive for five years
Le Dauphiné, April 8, 2022
Suspected of some thirty destructive operations in the Grenoble region since 2017, teams of activists from the libertarian movement are keeping the investigative services in check. Why do the latter have the greatest difficulties to identify them? Pieces of an answer…
When, on November 26, 2019, 350 policemen and gendarmes search the libertarian squats of Grenoble and the ZAD of Roybon, the objective is clear: to give a kick in the anthill of the anarchist nebula and to see what will come out of the operation. It must be said that in the weeks that preceded this demonstration of force, the tension went up a notch in the offices of the hotel of the prefecture, place of Verdun: on September 30, 2019, the room of the municipal council of the town hall of Grenoble was burned, the attack having been claimed on the usual channels of the libertarian and anticapitalist ultra-left
That night, it is the symbol of democracy (that the libertarian doctrine considers definitively sold to capitalism and to the elected representatives of the Republic, even if they are ecologists and [or] of the extreme left) that was clearly targeted. In January of the same year, the studios of France Bleu Isère and the church of Saint-Jacques were totally destroyed by flames: all to say that there is an urgency to act.

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.

Chile: THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE STATE IS PART OF THE STRUGGLE AGAINST PATRIARCHY

On a day like today, March 8, two years ago, the streets of the main cities of the territory dominated by the Chilean State were filled with thousands of people who with colors, shouts, slogans, fire and barricades visibilized and/or attacked the macho scourge. Today, only a few bodies fill the streets. Many prefer to wait for the changes promised by the new government from the comfort of their homes, changes that promise to end heteropatriarchal machismo among the inhabitants of this territory.

Anticipation for the new public policies and reforms in “gender issues” has raised hopes among a portion of feminist groups and individuals, sexual dissidents and in practically all the flag-sucking social democratic sectors.

The hopes and expectations unfortunately remained just that, because the heteropatriarchy will not end with any legal reform or social welfare. Continue reading Chile: THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE STATE IS PART OF THE STRUGGLE AGAINST PATRIARCHY

Part III: “The marxian church against anarchist “sectarianism””. by Gustavo Rodriguez

In Defence of Associative Specificity – Concerning (Inherently) Anarchist “Sectarianism” Part I.
Consulting the dictionary: concepts and definitions of “sectarianism”part ii
———————————————————————————
Part III: “The marxian church against anarchist “sectarianism””.
Anti-sectarian grammar achieved preeminence amidst the entanglements of the First International between 1864 and 1872. While during its first years the conceptual discrepancies between Proudhonians, Blanquists, Lassalleans and Marxists had been resolved without major tantrums within the International Workingmen’s Association (IWA), in 1868 tensions increased with the incorporation of Bakunin and a large group of like-minded people. The anarchists went so far as to demolish all the economistic onanism of Saint Charlie and his acolytes, placing in their sights the “gravest evil”. That is to say, the State (in particular) and all authority (in general). Thus, they erected their strongest theoretical specificity on the assumption that property or, generically, the relationship with the means of production, was not the only and excluding factor of “class” domination, but that the very instances of domination – and the State in particular – were also mechanisms that generated social groups that could be considered privileged.
On top of all that, the anarchists defended the full autonomy of the different sections of the IWA against the statutory centralism of the General Council tooth and nail. This position provoked the definitive rupture with the Marxists during the celebration of the V Congress of the Association in 1872. The theoretical-practical positions were irreconcilable and markedly antagonistic. For Saint Charlie, the International had to be the centralizing and guiding organ of the “movement”; while for the Russian anarchist and his comrades, it had to be a planetary conspiracy lacking a directing organ, centred on the concrete individual and his freedom; capable of eradicating all authority from the face of the earth, even that which was instituted in the name of the proletariat. By placing individual freedom and voluntary and autonomous association “before the historical development of society”, they received the eternal condemnation of the marxian Church and were accused of being “sectarians”; becoming the target of the wrath of Saint Charlie and his fervent sacristans.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack on the political office of Development Minister Adonis Georgiades by Proletarian Cell Dimitris Christoulas

“The occupying government of Tsolakoglu literally annihilated my possibility of survival, which was based on a decent pension which for 35 years I alone (without state support) had been paying for it. Because I am of an age that does not give me the individual possibility to react (not excluding of course if a Greek would take the kalashnikov the second would be me) I find no other solution than a decent end before I start to look in the trash for my alimony. I believe that the young people with no future will one day take up arms and hang the national traitors upside down in Syntagma Square, as the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945 (Loreto Square in Milan)” Dimitris Christoulas*
We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the political office of Adonis Georgiades, the representative of capital, politician responsible for the poverty and misery suffered by the people through poverty.
From the economic crisis of 2009 from which the country never came out, to the socialization of the losses of capital from the pandemic Covid 19, the latest increases in the price of electricity, fuel and almost all essentials are added to the already unbearable cost of survival of the working class and the people, to the pre-existing queues of the ΟΑΕΔ (Employment Insurance) , to the pension cuts, to the crumbs of the basic wage. The “development” invoked and evangelised by the domestic bourgeoisie is reflected physically and materially in people who die trying to keep warm, who look in the garbage for food, who commit suicide for economic reasons. It is reflected in workplaces that are graveyards for people of our class, where dozens of workers do not return home because a few extra euros were not “wasted” for the safety of the workers. Their growth translates into slow death in the corridors of hospitals. To the nearly 27,000 deaths from Covid 19, to the blockade of care in public hospitals amidst the increasing privatisation of the ΕΣΥ (National Health Service). Their deployment amounts to a daily battle for the survival of the next day for the majority of society at the same time as a handful of industrialists, shipowners and contractors continually speculate on our backs, reap the rewards of the toil and slavery we produce, extract surplus value from our starvation wages, continually devaluing the value of our labour power.

Athens, Greece: Update from the march in solidarity with Anarchist G. Michailidis, in Exarcheia area on 9 April 2022

On Saturday 9 April, 2022 following the call of the assembly of solidarity with the imprisoned, persecuted and fugitive militants, more than 200 comrades gathered at Exarcheia Square in solidarity with the anarchist prisoner Giannis Michailidis.
During the meeting, which lasted about an hour and a half, the text of the assembly was read, texts were distributed and fliers thrown. Then a march followed through the streets of the dependencies, without the presence of the police or any other problems.

The response to the meeting and the march was another message to the State that the anarchist comrade Giannis is not alone. He has with him the movement of solidarity with the political prisoners that will always give all its strength to break the regime of exclusion that the State and capital have in store for them. The “indefinite” detention regime imposed on the comrade is another example of this brutal repression of the enemy within.

Athens, Greece: Text of two imprisoned comrades
Comrades, we are writing to you from the penitentiary hellholes of Korydallos and Avloras, two more detention centres, both of which aim at our physical confinement and remorse of our political conscience. By making our case public, we would like the reason for our detention and evidence of the practices of the EΛ.ΑΣ National Police used against us to come out.
In the early hours of 14 November 2021 we didn’t stop during a check carried out by a DIAS cops bikes team in the area of New Faliro. Immediately a chase was launched against us by a civilian vehicle that did not bear the characteristics of the service. As white people, we did not receive a plethora of bullets, but in the area of Moschato, the car rammed us while we were moving and threw us on the road (with a high risk of being fatally injured). Our arrest was linked to an attack on the Piraeus traffic police earlier that night, which took place more than three kilometers from the checkpoint (the checkpoint was being controlled by fixed units outside the stinking Skye channel). We were taken to the ΓΑΔΑ, (Athens Police HQ) where we refused to give fingerprints, which, as well as genetic material, were ordered to be compulsorily taken a day before we went before an interrogator in an attempt to identify us with the evidence found in the attack and with previous cases. With invalid evidence against us, it was decided to remand us in custody on the pretext of identical clothing, as shown by video footage from the department.
This case is a fiasco and a desperate attempt by the police to win a major victory and legitimize the new criminal code in the eyes of the public. A decisive role in this is played by the state disinformation media, which first ran to prejudge us, using against us evidence with no legal basis – they talked about a yafka house(safe-house), an explosives manufacturing plant and spread false news about the first Molotov cocktail detention in Greece, thus exaggerating the work of the police and the necessity of the changes in the criminal code. The changes to article 272 and how they relate to the changes to 264 and 270 are intended to spread terror in the anarchist/anti-racist movement, to anyone who resists or questions the sovereignty of the state and its partners. As anarchists we are not surprised by this case and how it has developed so far, we do not believe in bourgeois justice and have no illusions about who it serves.

Libre Flot has ended his strike and is released “on medical grounds” (France)

Libre Flot gets out of jail!
Libre Flot has ended his strike and is released “on medical grounds”
support812.blackblogs.org, April 7, 2022
Two letters from Libre Flot from April 4 and 7:
“While these almost 16 months of detention in solitary confinement have left me with far more after-effects, both physical but especially mental and psychological, than 10 months of war in Syria,
Even though I survived the liberation of Raqqa, facing Daesh troops defending tooth and nail the capital of their caliphate,
I remain astonished, not only by the censorship that is made around my situation, but especially by the silence towards my legitimate and reasonable request, on the part of the French government, the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office, and the investigating judge Jean-Marc Herbaut, demonstrating their choice to let me die!
Yet on this anniversary, after 36 days of hunger strike, at a time when my health is becoming more precarious than ever, I choose life as a rebirth, a new life that accompanies this spring and turns my back on a potential fatal outcome. This April 4, 2022, at 6:00 pm, I decided to feed myself again.

Lecce, Italy – Down with the army!

Published by disordine.noblogs.org on 2022/03/22
Translated by act for freedom now!

An act of violence.
This is the definition given to what happened in Taranto a few days ago when insults and stones were launched at a Navy frigate as it pased by. What can we say? We can only agree… It is an act of exceptional violence that a missile frigate, a military operational unit named after the carabinieri army, can return to an important NATO base in grand style following a mission, crew lined up on deck. These are images that lacerate your heart.
Fortunately that day, near the revolving bridge, there were some enemies of militarism who expressed all their disgust at this violent repulsive spectacle. Their shouts and insults thrown at the military broke the deafening, complicit silence of those who held back, enjoying the show, and the stones thrown at the frigate tore away the grey area of silent collaborationism of those who never have the courage to call things by their name.

Paris,France: Text by Some of the participants at the Libertad anarchist library

Police bug found at Libertad anarchist library
Hi everyone,
Although my designers pompously christened me “RISO comcolor 7050” when I left the factory, I am better known as the Libertad Anarchist Library’s printer-copier. My move away from the filthy mouth of the real estate speculators who initially employed me gave me a bit of a thrill two years ago: goodbye invoices, rent receipts and other advertising leaflets to be reproduced… and long live subversive ideas! Just imagine if I had had to end my days in yet another branch of domination, printing indigestible university dissertations or insipid democratic petitions addressed to the authorities. In short, in this Belleville library, it was rather posters, leaflets, newspapers, brochures and other anti-authoritarian gems that began to parade before my eyes at a jerky rhythm, when I wasn’t snoozing in my corner in the middle of books and heated discussions against the old world.
