via: publicacionrefractario.Translated by Act for freedom now!
———–
We invite you to participate in the Evening of Internationalist Solidarity with the prisoners in struggle in Chilean prisons to be held on Friday, August 13.
Since we understand the social struggle as a set of practices that involve reflection, projection and offensive action against the state-capitalist system, as well as the moral and economic support of our comrades repressed by the State and its prison system of annihilation, we believe it is essential to become familiar with the situation of our comrades in prison and to take an active part in internationalist solidarity.

Interview and dialogue with Alfredo Cospito from the prison of Ferrara [Published in anarchist paper Vetriolo, issue 2, autumn 2018]
What international? Interview and dialogue with Alfredo Cospito from the prison of Ferrara.
Part One
Internationalism has always been the principle inspiring the actions and horizons of the exploited who do not accept the role that society has given them. It has always been a vaccine against 
opportunism of every kind, a guarantee that those who practice it are not the servants of their boss or a foreign boss, but are authentic enemies of all forms of exploitation and authority. Internationalism as tension, as spirit, does not change with the changing of times. But the way it becomes real in history changes. Reformists, opportunists and authoritarians have always tried to pervert internationalism towards their own interests. The question of questions, the lever get the world to rise up, is therefore the International. How, what should the International be today? Should it be a real “organization”, a federation of groups, a “world party”? Or can there be instruments or “structures” that are closer to the anarchist Idea and that are more effective in this historical period?
Like “scientific” socialism, anarchism was born to oppose a global process, capitalism and the advent of the bourgeoisie. It is more than natural that anarchists and Marxists have from the beginning pursued with alternating fortunes an international organizational dimension. In the nineteenth century, with Bakunin, anarchy abandoned the philosophical, idealist level to take its first steps in the real world. First against Mazzini’s messianic liberalism, to then clash with Marx’s state socialism, giving rise to the autonomist federalist currents within the First International.

Greece : In Malandrinos prison the cases of Covid-19 are increasing exponentially every day
In the Wing-1, where the rebels from Turkey are being held, on 15 August 2 prisoners tested positive, and less than a week later 14 more tested positive. The prison administration is responsible for this situation. Because they have no prevention policy against Covid-19. On August 15 where the 2 prisoners were diagnosed positive, they did not take any prevention measures, on the contrary they continued to hold all the prisoners together.
On August 17, several more prisoners were infected. But they only ran five tests, because there were no diagnostic kits. Of the five, three tested positive. After that, they said that the quarantine sections were full and they locked everyone in their cell and said we are in general quarantine. On August 20, after continued pressure from the prisoners, they were tested and 14 more were diagnosed positive.

France,Belfort: zealous citizen vs. camera burners
Attempted arson of the new video surveillance camera camera
Est Républicain, 27 August 2021 (extract)
The new video surveillance camera in Moscow Street, Belfort, has been the victim of an arson attempt.
On Wednesday night, shortly after midnight, the fire brigade of South Belfort and the police were called by the municipal police because the base of a lamppost and the grass were burning at 7 rue de Moscou, near a sports field and parked cars.
Three individuals sprayed an accelerant halfway up the pole before setting it on fire; the liquid spilled to the ground. When the emergency services and the police arrived, the flames had been extinguished by a local woman with a bucket of water. The camera is still working. Only the pole is blackened.

Orange : the police station targeted with a Molotov cocktail during the night
La Provence, 26 August 2021 (extract)
It was around 1.40am on Wednesday night that police officers stationed at the Orange police station on Avenue du Général de Gaulle noticed a loud explosion in the building’s courtyard on the video surveillance footage.
A fire then spread rapidly, given the very dry vegetation. The fire was only contained by the rapid intervention of the officers on duty. Once the fire had been extinguished with fire extinguishers and buckets of water, the officers found that it had been caused by a Molotov cocktail, thrown over the fence, most probably from the skate park adjacent to the police station.

USA: Roseville Office Attacked In Solidarity With Atlanta Forest
Responding to the call from comrades in Atlanta for an 8/18 day of action in solidarity with the struggle to defend the Atlanta forest; vandals broke into the office complex housing Corporation Service Company’s (CSC) regional office in Roseville, a suburb of Minneapolis. After smashing the office door and throwing cans of paint inside, a message was left sprayed across the front: HANDS OFF THE ATLANTA FOREST.
Demands are being made for CSC to drop their client, Blackhall Studios. Blackhall Studios would like to level the South Atlanta Forest to build the country’s largest soundstage and an airport, creating unprecedented levels of gentrification in the city.

Carqueiranne (Var) France: police cars smashed
Three vehicles of the municipal police vandalised
Var matin, 10 August 2021 (excerpt)
Smashed out windshields, broken mirrors, punctured tyres – during the night of Saturday to Sunday, three cars of the municipal police were victims of malicious acts. “At 6am, we received a call from the municipal police stating the facts. We had already had tags, but not this kind of damage to our equipment. The windshields had probably been kicked in. The police have my full support, we will respond with the utmost severity,” says Mayor Arnaud Latil.

Volos, Greece: Responsibility Claim for the attack on the AGET factory by Direct Action Cell ‘Vassilis Maggos’
RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM FOR THE ATTACK ON THE AGET FACTORY
“The exploited people have nothing to manage themselves beyond the denial of their status as such. Only in this way will their bosses, their leaders, their variously adorned apologists be eliminated with them. In this ‘massive task of urgent demolition’, we must quickly seek, joy.”
ACTION REPLACES TEARS
Much was said, even more was concealed and little was done. On July 14, 2020, our eyes tear up at the news of the death of comrade Vassilis Maggos, tears that will become rage, rage that thirsts for revenge. Evamer, as he was known and remains in our hearts, was a rare blend of selfless fighter and rebellious youth. A friend – a comrade in every sense of the word, who, with a permanent smile on his face, was always willing to help his neighbour, to discuss and above all to ACT against the state’s power and social subordination. A person who more than once had faced the arbitrariness of power and the bullies of the cops as he struggled with his demons from a young age, growing up in the streets of denial and questioning. Much can be said and perhaps has already been said about comrade Vassilis, but little has been done. We pledge that this condition will change. His beating and subsequent torture by the garbage of the police after the demonstration on June 13, 2020, may not be directly responsible for his death, but everyone can understand the magnitude of the mental burden that was inflicted on him and led to his death.
Neither nuke nor 5G! ( Nancy,France)
In the heights of the outskirts of Nancy, on August 18th, a 5G antenna burned. “Ni nuke ni 5G!” was spray-painted on a wall of the enclosure that protected access to it.
This was one of several responses to the government’s insistence on forcing through its project to digitise the world. This year will also be decisive for the nuclear waste landfill project at Bure, which is also taking hold despite local and wider opposition that has been ongoing for years. Nuclear and 5G are the pillars of an industry of death.
Solidarity with everyone facing charges as a result of these struggles!

Buenos Aires July 2021
CONSUME UNTIL THE DESERT SURPRISES US
Graffiti painted and locks glued in Havanna stores.
On the “coldest morning of the year” we visited several Havanna coffee shops and managed to intervene on six of their facades. Gluing locks and padlocks, we painted their windows to show that we are not inert, we have the capacity to act and we know that the “traditional” alfajor is sold there with a new ingredient in its recipe: GENETICALLY MODIFIED WHEAT.
Wheat is the food staple in the region; not corn, nor rice, nor cassava. Wheat is the bread, the tortilla, the pasta that we consume daily.
