Neue Galerie, Starbucks, Chanel store, and Navy recruitment center vandalized – NYC & Brooklyn, NY

an autonomous group of anti-colonial anarchists redecorated Neue Galerie on 5th Avenue in NYC with blood red paint yesterday for its direct support of the IDF & its ties to Israeli weapons company Elbit Systems.

“In response to the call from Bethlehem for no celebration during genocide, and on one of the biggest days of the year for capitalist consumerism, an autonomous group of anti-colonial anarchists targeted Neue Galerie on 5th Avenue in New York City for its direct support of the IOF and its ties to Elbit Systems. The activists smeared paint as thick and red as blood across the outer walls and entrance gate.

Greece: For the revolutionary anarchist Alfredo Bonanno by Class Counterattack – Group of Anarchists and Communists, December 2023

For the revolutionary anarchist Alfredo Bonanno

On 6 dicembre the anarchist comrade Alfredo Bonanno died at the age of 86 years. Alfredo was an emblematic figure of the insurrectional tendency of the anarchist movement. His political activity extended to the whole range of militant practices of the movement and his writings have addressed a multitude of theoretical, historical and ideological issues, such as the question of insurrection and political organisation, revolutionary and armed struggle, the contemporary tendencies of capitalism, the relationship between nation and class, themes that he addressed with originality and acumen, which places him among the most important contemporary anarchist thinkers.

His revolutionary activities often caused him to be targeted by the repressive forces both in Italy and in Greece, where he has had close political contacts since the early 1990s participating in political events, international initiatives, solidarity movements and editorial projects. It would not be exaggerated to say that some of his works, such as Theory and Practice of insurrection  left a strong mark on the formation of the Greek anarchist movement of the nineties and two thousand.

Lecce , Italy : For Alfredo M. Bonanno

For Alfredo

It seemed impossible that this moment would come.  Speaking with Alfredo  has always given me the idea of the present, the moment to grasp.  I think many of us owe a lot to the reading of his texts and the long discussions that always left something new. The most crucial thing I learned was always to start from myself.

The large amount of writings and reflections and the huge number of anecdotes and experiences, will ensure that Alfredo remains among us, fortunately, to provide advice and suggestions, to open glimpses and passages but also to raise doubts, make efforts of reflection and imagination, build projects, maintain commitments, equip themselves with tools, destroy cages. Because as he himself said “this is about a method, the anarchist and insurrectional one, but basically it is an experience that we are talking about, not theories that clash or get along. An experience that continues over time and becomes action”. That experience for which at a certain point it is necessary “to close the book”.

Words in memory of Alfredo M. Bonanno by Biblioteca Antiautoritaria Sacco y Vanzetti

One death always makes us think of many more and it is the beautiful thing in the midst of sadness, our dead come out to dialogue, with us and with each other.

Bonnano did not share the relationship that many comrades on this earth have with those who have died.

Ironically today, his physical departure, makes us remember so many moments around his analysis, also the discussion with him in 2013, after his expulsion, the harshness of his phrases, but the beauty of the meeting, even in virtuality.

HERAKLEIO CITY ,(GRETE ISLAND) Greece : FOR THE ATTACK ON STARBUCKS by anarchists

HERAKLEIO CITY FOR THE ATTACK ON STARBUCKS ON 29/12/23

For the attack on Starbucks on 29/12 in Heraklion, Crete
In the night that dawned on 29/12, we decided to attack the Starbucks on Byronos and August 25th streets. The action was carried out by lighting two improvised smoke bombs and hitting the windows of the store with hammers.

After the door fell, we threw in bottles filled with red paint. Red like the blood of children in Palestine. Starbucks, among many other companies, choose not only to cover up Israel’s terrorism and murder of the Palestinian people, but are actively contributing by making deals that will take place over the soil where the victims of the Israeli State’s bloodlust are buried.

This action is an indication that we will continue to fight the terror imposed by States, despite repression and intimidation in the name of security and order.

THIS CITY IS LESS YOU

Italy: For a thousand reasons. Solidarity presence with the anarchists accused re the publication of “Bezmotivny” (Massa, 9th January 2024)

For a thousand reasons. Solidarity presence with the anarchists accused re the publication of “Bezmotivny” (Massa, 9th January 2024)

Last August 8th a police operation took place involving ten anarchists, putting them under investigation for subversive association with aims of terrorism and instigation to commit crime aggravated with aims of terrorism, in reference to the publication of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny”. In response to an original request for the imprisonment of the ten under investigation, the judiciary decreed nine precautionary measures: four were therefore placed under restrictive house arrest, while another five have mandatory residence with obligation to be home at night.

After the first months, during which – between prison and house arrest – there were some temporary aggravations to the precautionary measures, a trial hearing for an immediate judgment has been fixed at the court of Massa, for 9th January 2024 for the comrades under house arrest Gaia, Gino, Luigi e Paolo.

South London, UK : Solidarity and its Discontents? at Touch paper anarchist library on Tuesday 16 January at 19:00

The media, the schools, the judges, the cops, politicians, surveillance, technology, work. All have their role to play in repression. 

Repression is nothing but the interwoven attempts of all authorities to stupify thought, silence ideas, to freeze action, to weaken courage and to justify obedience. These efforts are always necessary to hold together the ranks.

Athens,Greece: Activists vandalise Syntagma waterfall with red paint in solidarity with Palestine

The gesture is in response to Bethlehem’s cancellation of Christmas and the international call to take action on New Years Eve, in solidarity with Palestine.

The action took place in the touristic centre of Athens. Nearby, champagne glasses overflowing with ignorance were enjoyed, while flames of rage engulfed the fake Christmas tree. For the principled among us, this season’s many trees and decorations failed to symbolise Christmas, but rather served as a reminder of the fake humanity and capitalistic individualism that alllows people to ‘celebrate’ while the Zionists continue their genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza and bomb the birthplace of Jesus.
