Naples, Italy: Zac’s declaration to the court in Naples at the hearing on May 23rd, 2024

Zac’s declaration to the court in Naples at the hearing on May 23rd

After a year’s prison on remand and 13 hearings, 9 of which in videoconference, a derealizing tool created in an emergency but now extended to an increasingly wide range of prisoners, which behind a generic justification of security renders the accused, i.e. the protagonist of the trial, a spectator of his fate, reducing the trial even more to a confrontation between technicians, all to ensure the peaceful development of the hearings and without even the annoyance of having to look the prisoner in the eye, I have decided to make this declaration.

I am doing so because this is a political trial, even if nobody wants to say so out loud.

I am not interested in the charges, nor the police operation that they originated from, which as far as I am concerned is only a jumble of judicial bureaucracy functional to the political will of the government apparatus that, consistently with the logic of war, aims to lock up the so-called internal enemies, those considered irreformable.

Castanet-Tolosan (Haute-Garonne), France : Oops we did it again !

Indymedia Lille / Sunday 9th June, 2024

In the night of 7 to 8th June, we burned two trucks inside the company premises of Jean Lefebvre, subsidiary of Vinci, at Castanet-tolosan.

The world military market, Eurosatory, is opening in ten days’ time in Paris while the massacres in Palestine continue and Macron drowns again and again in his speeches of total rearmament. The present war economy is condemning us to ever more violent austerity. In France, the interior and exterior war is based on territorial conquest whose infrastructures, military or civilian, of control and circulation, are destroying our living spaces.

BTP/TP and Vinci as one of the largest French companies, are profiting greatly from this permanent war, both in the grid of the cities, motorways, bitumining the countryside, as in future reconstruction projects, eyeing international markets where colonial devastation is taking place.

Sainte-Soline, France: Regarding Sainte-Soline

Many of us returned home dejected following the demonstration of Sainte-Soline on March 25th 2023.

And yet, upon seeing the media coverage and then the official response of Les Soulèvements de la Terre [The Earth Uprisings Collective], despondency turned to anger.

All the demonstrators had been depicted as victims of police violence, we had been denied any power of initiative, any organization, any offensive violence,

We refuse this image that they want to give of us. We reject the victimist media strategy.

If you find yourself in it, we hope you will like this little video.

Rome, Italy: Road block in viale Giulio Agricola, postamat ATM set on fire and Intesa Sanpaolo subsidiary damaged on 24th April [day of appeal in cassation of Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito  against ”Scripta Manent” sentence].

Rome, 24th April 2024

We learn from the mass media (which from the morning have given some prominence to the event) that shortly after 4am on Wednesday April 24th, in viale Giulio Agricola in the Appio Claudio district in Rome, unknown persons had set up a road block with an improvised incendiary barricade composed of rubbish bins dragged into the roadway and set on fire. At the same time a nearby post office had been attacked: the flames, although put out in conjunction with the intervention of the police forces, had nonetheless damaged the postamat (ATM).

General News Action Sabotage, solidarity in Greece

Athens, Greece: The final destruction of Exarcheia square has begun

Recently trucks have been unloading concrete bases at the Exarchia square construction site. They are the bases that will support the new sheets of the construction site extension. This development suffocates the streets around the square in a continuation of the general plan of desertification and gentrification of the neighbourhood of Exarcheia.

For the square, this means further occupation of the public space, cutting off from the world its minimal remaining free space as a meeting and socializing point. Around the now larger construction site the police presence will be more intense and suffocating, making it even more difficult to hold gatherings, events and political coming together in general.

Back in print!: With blood and words – Evegeniia Iaroslavskaia-Markon

“So, that is my life – the life of a schoolgirl-revolutionary, a student-dreamer, a friend and lover of the great man and poet Aleksandr Iaroslavskii, an eternal wanderer, an itinerant anti-religious lecturer, a writer for Rul, a street newspaper vendor, a thief with a long criminal record, and a traveling fortune-teller.” (from My Autobiography, E. Iaroslavskaia-Markon)

The manuscript, completed on February 3, 1931, anticipated by a few months the execution of the authour at the age of twenty-nine, which took place in the courtyard of the isolation block in the gulag of the Solovki Islands. The manuscript – thirty-nine pages written in dense, tight handwriting – was discovered in 1996 in the archives of the FSB headquarters of the Arkhangelsk region. In her autobiography, Evgeniia talks about herself, her life, her comrade and companion Aleksandr Iaroslavskii and their commitment in fighting ’til their last breath against the tyranny of the Bolshevik power.

Something’s Missing?
Portland in Revolt 2020-2024
Presentation and Discussion: 7pm, Tuesday 11th June*

In the uprising ignited by the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, the city of Portland had a particularly long, hot summer – with its own trajectory of revolt and militaristic repression. Anarchists from this context will present their experiences and perspectives.

In Portland as in many other places, anarchy is lived and experimented by those who don’t wait for streets filled with angry crowds or popular assemblies filled with revolutionary declarations. Instead it is found in the here-and-now attacks on power, in plain words and destructive acts. But what happens when the possibilities change rapidly as they did in Portland? Can anarchists bring something to such a moment that (proto-)politicians and organisers can’t?

“In our view it is necessary to resist the sirens of recognition, if not political, also social. We are not generals searching for soldiers, neither shepherds searching for sheep. We don’t need pats on the back or smiles from the people. We don’t have to be accepted, since we neither want to convert nor guide anyone. We want individuals to unleash themselves because – as, in a far away past, an anarchist prince once privately confided –“without disorder, revolution is impossible”.”

“Only the one who rebels and has already rebelled, albeit only in the microcosm of their own life, only one who has already braved the consequences of this rebellion and lived them in depth, can have nerves sensitive enough and the intuition necessary to grasp the signs of an insurrectionary movement in the making.

[…] The strongest moments of the people in arms eliminate, of course, all prior procrastination and uncertainties. They allow to see clearly what yesterday was just a blur. But they cannot illuminate what does not exist. These moments are a powerful reflector that allows the realization of a revolutionary and anarchist project, but this project must exist already, if only in its methodological outlines. It must already have been worked out, even if not in every detail, and, as far as possible, have been tried and tested.”

* 11th June = international day of solidarity with Marius Mason and all long-term anarchist prisoners. Library open as usual from 4pm. Let’s read together and discuss the statement from J11 2024
