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.

Anonymous activists torch central Athens Christmas tree on New Year’s Eve with makeshift flame thrower, 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.

Olympia,USA : Alfredo Bonanno Memorial

On the morning of December 6th, 2023 Alfredo M. Bonanno passed away at the age of 86 in Trieste, Italy.

A long-time anarchist, Bonanno was an influential figure on insurrectionary anarchism both theoretically and in practice. With writings like “Armed Joy” and “The Anarchist Tension”, Bonanno’s writings continue to influence anarchist praxis worldwide. But he was more than just a theorist, Bonanno put his words into actions on numerous occasions and was subsequently imprisoned for bank robbery 2 different time and was also imprisoned for the writing of “Armed Joy”.

Upon learning of his passing a group of friends gathered on the evening of December 12th, 2023 in St̕č̓as (so called olympia, wa) to mourn, honor, and celebrate the life of Alfredo M. Bonanno.
At the historical site of the Olympia Stand Blockades (2016 and 2017) we stood in a circle and talked about the impact him and his writings had on our lives while we passed around bottles of expropriated Italian fancy wine and root beer. When we had all shared our stories we poured out the remainder of our drinks in Bonanno’s honor and proceeded to light up road flares and held banners reading “rest in joy/Alfredo Bonanno/1937-2023” and “Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you… Hurry to play. Hurry to arm yourself” – Alfredo M. Bonanno”, a shortened version of one of our favorite quotes of his.

Anarchists covered a Barclays with red paint and slogan in North London in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Barclays Bank holds over £1 billion in shares, and provides over £3 billion in loans and to companies whose military technology…

This is a small action, but as anarchists and Anti-fascists we believe that everyone should take whatever action they can, small or big to fight Israeli fascism and the genocide of the Palestinian people.

In Eure, the Lafarge industrial site was attacked in Val-de-Reuil

Several Lafarge industrial sites were occupied and tagged by environmental groups across France as part of a “day of action against Lafarge and the world of concrete”. This Sunday, December 10, 2023, at 12:30 p.m., the Lafarge site in Val-de-Reuil, Eure, was no exception, announced the department’s prefecture on X (formerly Twitter): “The Lafarge site has just been the object of a violent attack by environmental militants aimed at destroying the industrial base”.

Products were introduced into the concrete silos to prevent the site from operating. Damage could amount to several hundred thousand euros. A total of 18 employees are out of work.

Athens : Taking responsibility for attacks on Israeli investments

LET’S SABOTAGE THE WAR ON THE FRONTLINES

The massacre carried out by the Israeli army of occupation in Gaza is being carried out with the tolerance and support of NATO imperialism, with the Greek state playing an active role: Above,from the eternal concession of the Souda base, turns the 112th combat wing into Eleusina on the basis of logistics and support of the murderous Greece-US-Israel alliance.

Also, the Ministry of Defence has dispatched the war frigate “Psara” to the Cyprus-Lebanon border to support the American fleet in the event of a wider military conflict in the region. The Greek ruling class is not only investing in military cooperation with the terrorist state of Israel, but also in direct economic cooperation with Israeli capital through various investments and partnerships spread throughout Greece. These investments can be easily targeted by anyone and everyone. After all, our task as working class and fighters was and is to transfer the war to the rear. Sabotage and rupture with the bourgeoisie and its alliances in our own country.
In an increasingly suffocating environment of silence about the massacre in Gaza, the mainstream media is selling the narrative that the Palestinians are the terrorists. But we know very well who has been slaughtering and oppressing for 75 years.

South London ,UK : January Tuesday 2nd Black Threads #5 : The End of Anarchism? Luigi Galleani At Touch Paper Anarchist Library

Black Threads #5

In this series of discussions we will go back into the heritage of anarchism to look at specific written contributions to the theory and practice of attack, informal organisation and permanent revolt. Each week some extracts will be shared beforehand which can be read to prepare for the next discussion or not. Each discussion will start with a presentation of the book.

“We are living in times of ‘crisis’ and this often leads comrades down the blind alley of pragmatism and compromise, verging on political realism […] Galleani repudiates in total any struggle for partial gains or reforms, ‘the ballast of the bourgeousie’ that the latter throws out under the violent pressure of the masses […] ‘Instead of the mere passive and polite resistance so fervently recommended by the socialists, the anarchists prefer boycott, sabotage, and, for the sake of the struggle itself, immediate attempts at partial expropriation, individual rebellion and insurrection.’”
