Italy – Issue 0 of a new publication, ScalmAnat*, is out

A new publication has come out recently. It is a bulletin of radical critique of education and pedagogy: ScalmAnat*. With the first issue we intend to offer some criticisms, reflections and considerations concerning schooling, pedagogy (also in the forms which present themselves as “alternative”) and the wide world of education. These devices of control and discipline are part of the Mega-machine of the State and capital, as are factories, hospitals, prisons, CPRs, REMS; a reason for us, and certainly we are not the first, to desire their total destruction. We think that schools are or can become places of conflict and conflictuality for all those who suffer them and are oppressed by them.

Italy. UNTIL THE PRISON-SOCIETY IS DESTROYED March 1, 2022

(Introductory leaflet to the debate distributed during the initiative)
This initiative is born from the need to send, as far as we can, a gesture of solidarity to our comrade prisoners in Chile who in the first months of this year have undertaken two hunger strikes. We want to support them, also through the translations contained in the leaflets prepared for this meeting, spreading the determination with which they have carried out the struggle inside the prison, in order for those of us who are outside those walls and far from those territories to feel closer. Even if at the end of their mobilization the prisoners may or may not have obtained everything they demanded, it has nevertheless allowed them to build and forge bonds of complicity, both inside and outside the prison. Bonds that have made this struggle overcome barriers and frontiers and that, from the moment it clearly positioned itself against all forms of coercion and domination, have made it recognizable and defensible for refractory people across the world.
But it is not out of simple voyeurism towards distant rebellions that we are here today. With this initiative we also intend to underline our complicity with our comrades who today are prisoners of the State, so that they know that they are not alone. Even in this part of the world we have, in fact, anarchist prisoners who have recently waged several struggles inside the prison. Struggles carried out individually or collectively, strikes and massive revolts like those of March 2020 against the management of the pandemic inside the prisons. Struggles whose quality, to take up a concept expressed with emphasis in the contribution that John, a prisoner in the prison of Terni, has written for this initiative, is strictly linked to the relationships that exist from inside and outside the prison.

France. Telephone interview with Claudio Lavazza

March 6, 2022
(Taken from Radiocane)
Q: Listeners have probably already had the opportunity to learn about the events that you have lived throughout your long imprisonment in Spanish jails from reading your biography. Let’s start now with the case that led to your current detention in France. What facts does this case refer to?
A: Yes, I have a 10-year sentence set by the Paris Criminal Court on November 8, 2019, for armed robbery and kidnapping. This sentence was recently reduced, a week ago, to five years. And my release date is scheduled for May 16, 2025, so three years from now. This is due to a calculation of the credits for sentence reduction made by the Mont-de-Marsan Prosecutor’s Office, starting from 30 years instead of 25 as the legal limit for the accumulation of sentences in the Spanish system. Well, if this limit had been established by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, if this limit had been enforced, I would have had to be released Continue reading France.

MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY: 9th ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR
Once again, we invite you to the Anarchist Book Fair in Montevideo, Uruguay. We are very happy to propose a meeting in which we strengthen and deepen the incessant struggle against the State, patriarchy, capital and against everything that tries to dominate us. In a world where capital takes over our time, the earth, other animals and our lives. We invite you to discuss and re-discuss, to delve into the ideas, practices and projects of an anarchist character.
With enthusiasm we also announce that we are open to the participation of publishers and distros for the diffusion of anarchist and anti-authoritarian material. In this sense, we ask comrades and collectives to take into consideration that the distros be exclusively for the diffusion of books, magazines and publications of anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas.

[IT+EN] Nuovamente rinnovata la censura sulla corrispondenza all’anarchico Alfredo Cospito (Italy,marzo 2022)

Nuovamente rinnovata la censura sulla corrispondenza all’anarchico Alfredo Cospito (marzo 2022)
Informiamo che a metà del mese di marzo è stata nuovamente rinnovata la censura sulla corrispondenza al compagno anarchico Alfredo Cospito, attualmente recluso nella sezione AS2 (“Alta Sicurezza 2”) del carcere di Terni. La censura avrà una durata di tre mesi, quindi fino a giugno. Il provvedimento era stato disposto anche tra settembre e dicembre 2021 e tra dicembre 2021 e marzo di quest’anno.
Ricordiamo che il compagno, arrestato a settembre 2012, già condannato a 9 anni e 5 mesi per il ferimento di Adinolfi (amministratore delegato di Ansaldo Nucleare), è stato condannato ad ulteriori 20 anni nel processo “Scripta Manent” svoltosi a Torino, di cui si terrà l’udienza di cassazione il 25 maggio a Roma. Inoltre è stato recentemente destinatario di un mandato d’arresto per l’operazione “Sibilla” dell’11 novembre scorso, in quanto accusato di istigazione a delinquere con l’aggravante della finalità di terrorismo, in relazione alla pubblicazione del giornale anarchico “Vetriolo”. L’ordinanza d’arresto è stata successivamente annullata dal tribunale del riesame di Perugia il 16 dicembre, mentre resta aperta l’indagine.

Censorship of correspondence for anarchist Alfredo Cospito extended again (March 2022)
We inform that in the middle of March the censorship of correspondence (incoming and outgoing) for anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, currently imprisoned in section AS2 (“High Security 2”) of Terni prison, was renewed once again. The censorship will last three months, until June. The measure had also been ordered between September and December 2021 and between December 2021 and March of this year.
We remind that the comrade, arrested in September 2012, already sentenced to 9 years and 5 months for the wounding of Adinolfi (CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare), was sentenced to a further 20 years in the “Scripta Manent” trial held in Turin, whose court of cassation hearing will be held on May 25 in Rome. In addition, the comrade has recently received an arrest order for the “Sibilla” operation of November 11, as he is accused of incitement to commit crimes with the aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism, in relation with the publication of the anarchist paper “Vetriolo”. The arrest order was subsequently annulled by the Perugia re-examination court on December 16, while the investigation remains open.
Let’s break the isolation: revolutionary solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists.

Moscow Region: Arson of Military Registration and Enlistment Office

09.03.22
At night in Lukhovitsy, Moscow region, a local man threw Molotov cocktails at the military registration and enlistment office. He tried to destroy the archive with personal data of reservists -conscripts who can be sent to war in Ukraine. We publish his statement.
The other day I set fire to the military registration and enlistment office in Lukhovitsy, Moscow region and filmed it on GoPro. I painted the gates in the colors of the Ukrainian flag and wrote: “I will not go kill my brothers!”, then climbed over the fence, poured gasoline on the front, broke the windows and sent Molotov cocktails into them. The aim was to destroy the archive with the personal files of the conscripts, which is located in this unit. This should prevent mobilization in the district. I hope that I won’t see mclassmates in captivity or in the lists of the dead.
I think it should be spread. Ukrainians will know that people in Russia are fighting for them, not everyone is afraid and there are people who care. Our protesters should be inspired to act more radically. And this should break the spirit of the Russian army and government even more. Let these faggots know that their own people hate them and will extinguish them. The ground will soon burn beneath their feet, hell awaits them at home as well.

Paris, France: Action against the construction contractors of the 2024 Olympics

A few weeks ago, two companies involved in the construction of the Olympic infrastructure for the Paris 2024 Olympics were redecorated:
– The architectural firm Chabanne*, which is working on the future “solarium” in Aubervilliers. The work destroyed the gardens that existed near the Fort d’Aubervilliers metro station. Some friends have set up a JAD for some time, we wanted to send them a little hello. The struggle is not over!

Sardinia – Issue 0 of Su Nudha, a Sardinian Anarchist Paper (A-periodical), is available

È disponibile, da oggi, il numero 0 di “Su Nudha” – Foglio Anarchico Sardo. (A-periodico)

Translated by act for freedom now!
From the editorial:
«The proposal to create a new editorial instrument was born as a continuation of the experiences that some of us have lived in the more or less recent past and from which each one drew their own conclusions, defining their own path. We feel the urge to write our own history through the exclusive use of our own words, eliminating all sorts of softening of the radicality of intentions and blurring of their objectives by making them flicker before our eyes. Moreover, now more than ever it is necessary to equip ourselves with our own instruments that exclude power’s channels of communication by self-organizing in anticipation of the increasingly urgent and criminal restrictions that capitalism is inflicting on the new dissidents (for example impossibility of travel for non-vaccinated).

Heraklion Crete: Taking responsibility by Anarchists (Greece)

Heraklion Crete: Taking responsibility by Anarchists
Every day we are confronted with more and more violence and repression, from unpaid ten-hour days to the destruction of the National Health Ε.Σ.Υ. From the murders of refugees to the anti-terrorism case files, to security and the energy crisis.The story is well known: the State kills and the bosses get rich on our backs.
On the dawn of 12/03/22, we chose to break the window of social peace by breaking the facade of the Piraeus Bank in Archbishop Makarios Street, Heraklion Crete.

Athens Pagrati area, Greece: – Excerpt from claim by Anarchists for an attack on an apartment building where cops and Eftichis Vardoulakis reside

Pagrati, Greece: – Taking responsibility for an attack on an apartment building where cops and Eftychis Vardoulakis reside
At dawn on 17/02 we placed an incendiary device at the entrance of an apartment building in Lykofronos Street in Pagrati, where 5 cops live, among them some in high-ranking positions, as well as the communication technocrat of the New Democracy, Eftichis Vardoulakis. The result was the destruction of part of the entrance.
In conclusion, we will agree with our comrades from the Nuclei of Direct Action that we have to become a shield to protect the anarchist and communist prisoners inside the prisons, making it clear that every single cog in this repressive mechanism is a target for us. From the last cop to the prison directors and every legal adviser of law-making committees to the ministries and their executives.

Taking Responsibility – Let’s sabotage the war / Let’s light the flame of practical internationalist solidarity by Anarchists

Taking Responsibility – Let’s sabotage the war / Let’s light the flame of practical internationalist solidarity
“No; none of the belligerents is entitled to invoke the name of civilization or to declare itself in a state of legitimate defence. The truth is that the cause of wars, of that which at present stains with blood the plains of Europe, as of all wars that have preceded it, rests solely in the existence of the State, which is the political form of privilege.
The role of the Anarchists in the present tragedy, whatever may be the place or the situation in which they find themselves, is to continue to proclaim that there is but one war of liberation: that which in all countries is waged by the oppressed against the oppressors, by the exploited against the exploiters. Our part is to summon the slaves to revolt against their masters.”
International Anarchist Manifesto Against the War, London (February 1915)
On 24 February the Russian State, under the pretext of the violating of the Minsk agreement and the “denazification” of Ukraine, launched an attack on the Ukrainian territories. The bloody military conflict that has been going on for the last few weeks has already cost hundreds of lives, which will increase as the war continues.
The Russian State, an authoritarian regime aimed at savagely serving the interests of Russian oligarchic capital, aims to maintain its territorial and economic influence in Ukraine, in collaboration with part of the local bourgeoisie. The current economic/political regime is the result of a long process beginning with the dissolution of the USSR, the October 1993 crisis, and a series of a dozen wars in the regions of the Russian federation and in neighbouring countries where local capital had direct interests. The result of this process is the absolute domination of oligarchic capital over Russian society, expressed politically by the Putin regime and the “fourth political theory”. On this political basis, the Russian ruling classes have launched a ferocious war against the insurgent sections of the oppressed, either internally with dozens of long-lasting, even pre-emptive sentences of anarchists and antifascists, or in territories that it considers its sphere of influence, such as the brutal repression of anarchists in Belarus and the crushing of antifascist forces in the Donbas DR.
