Text of the anarchists political prisoners Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis in Greece

We are two imprisoned political prisoners, members of the armed anarchist organization Revolutionary Struggle, which operated between 2003 and 2017. During that time, we took responsibility for 18 actions and attacks against various targets related to the political and economic regime, the state, and capital. The Revolutionary Struggle claimed responsibility for bombings and armed attacks targeting the Ministries of Finance and Labour, the Athens Stock Exchange, the Bank of Greece, the International Monetary Fund office, banks, police stations, as well as the suppression of riots and demonstrations by the riot police (MAT). Additionally, the organization took credit for an attempted attack on the Minister of Public Order and an attack on the US Embassy in Athens using an anti-tank rocket. In 2016, our comrade Pola Roupa attempted a helicopter hijacking to facilitate the escape of comrade Maziotis and other prisoners, with the aim of continuing the actions of the Revolutionary Struggle.

During our action, we tragically lost a comrade named LambrosFoudas. He was killed on March 10, 2010, during a clash with the police while engaging in the organization’s preparatory action. This incident occurred during a time when the Revolutionary Struggle had initiated actions against the global financial crisis and the enforcement of loan agreements in Greece.

Since our initial arrests in 2010, we have consistently taken political responsibility for our involvement in the Revolutionary Struggle. Throughout the numerous trials we have faced, we have publicly defended our actions as well as those of our organization. We have staunchly supported the policy of armed revolutionary action against both the state and capital. Additionally, we have advocated for the Social Revolution, aiming to overthrow the current economic-political system of power and establish an egalitarian society free from class distinctions. Our vision entails a confederation of communities (communes) as the foundation for this transformative and classless social organization.

Greece: Call for actions internationally in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis (ENG/GR.)

Call for actions internationally in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis (ENG/ΕΛ)

The anarchist comrade and prisoner of the Greek prisons, Giannis Michailidis, is on a new hunger strike since 12.05.2023. Exactly one year ago, on May 25, 2022, he had announced the start of another hunger strike demanding his release, which after 68 days of hard strike, last July, he decided to end, with his health condition reaching a critical point, awaiting the fulfilment of the commitments of senior judges for meeting his demands. A year later, the mockery of the comrade by the scum of the judiciary is ongoing, with his requests for leave or release being rejected one after another and a whole backdrop of interventions by senior judges and other high ranking officials of the Greek state to prolong Giannis’ captivity. Thus, with his health still burdened by the previous strike, the comrade is currently back in the position of using his own body as a barricade in the face of state machinations.

The comrade’s strike last year showed with certainty that there was a central strategy on the part of the state mechanisms to conceal the struggle for his release and to force the comrade into physical and psychological extermination; a dead end in order to lead to a retreat and not to release the comrade. The solidarity actions, the strike itself, were well concealed for most of its duration, thus seeking to have any state response taking place in a shadowy setting of silencing, behind-the-scenes mockery of the comrade and his legal defence by the judicial mafia, which stretched the timeframe for holding any relevant meetings to the limit.

Similarly, the also recent experience of the hunger strike of the captured member of the revolutionary organization 17th of November, Dimitris Koufontinas, which preceded that of Giannis (8 January-14 March 2021), highlighted on the one hand the state’s callousness towards a hunger-striking combative prisoner, and on the other hand showed how the escalation of repression against the solidarity movement, brought the opposite results and that zero-tolerance strategy brought more people on the streets, more stubbornness, more attacks on state and capitalist targets, social exposure and, ultimately, it was catalytic in creating explosive situations where the state’s omnipotence was shattered, as in the Nea Smirni uprising. And this is something that the state murderers have probably “read”. That is why the strategy in the immediate aftermath of last year’s strike of Giannis Michailidis was more akin to a posture of marginalization, targeted non-escalation and silencing, with callousness remaining a common feature. In order to prevent Giannis’ struggle from becoming a social event.

Solidarity Means Attack

UK: Wales, and West Utilities Attacked (Solidarity with the Cardiff rioters).

THEN
A reminder to those whose memory fails them…..
On Saturday 13th June 2020 large numbers of people defied lockdown restrictions to resist the eviction of Glenfrome Road. GRC Baliffs attempted to clear a big traveller site on the old gas works site in Bristol.

Despite the large police presence, and the increased use of state power through the ‘Coronavirus Act’, the eviction went on for over 12 hours and solidarity was strong. GRC failed to evict the site.

NOW
The company that paid for the eviction was Wales and West Utilities.
They have just built a new £4 million Gas Haulage Depot on the Glenfrome Road site, and its up and running so we thought we’d pay them a visit.

International Call For Solidarity With Anarchists In USA Atlanta.


The struggle against cop city, and for the Weelaunee forest has been explosive, experimental, and wild for nearly three years now. In the process our enemies have brutalized us, charged people with domestic terrorism, leveraging 5-35 years in prison against them, murdered our friend and comrade Tortuguita, attempted to repress our struggle, and yet we are still here fighting.

As the forests we swore to protect get clear-cut, and people face hefty sentences leveraged by the courts, as we stare at the possibility of raids, repression, investigations, and the unknown, we desire to take the plunge. We will make our enemies pay for every inch. We will not let them know a moment of peace.

Düsseldorf (Germany): series of sabotage actions against the railroad by Angry Birds Commando.

Düsseldorf: series of sabotage actions against the railroad

In the last 4 months, we have carried out 5 incendiary attacks against the railway signal cables in the Düsseldorf area. In one of them we left the tag “Stop Tren Maya” (1) clearly visible. The main goal was to hinder the commodity traffic. This made several tracks partially inoperative during the whole day. To increase their effect, we tried to synchronize the incendiary attacks with strikes or other sabotage actions against the railroads.

The society we live in is about to engulf the entire planet. The massive transformation of natural ecosystems into dead products is not the consequence of a lack of information or immature technologies, but a central mechanism of the system. It brings with it a vortex of war, disease and exploitation.

In combination with the absolute obligation to grow, this mechanism is ultimately incompatible with the sustainability of life.

Solidarity Means Attack

explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile)

Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile, May 22, 2023)

Those who have been here, in the minority and diffuse practice, know that failing an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well, we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned.

Deciding on an electrical system to detonate an explosive charge is not a whimsical decision, it is the result of studying the objectives, our forces and our resources for action. With a quick entry and withdrawal from the environment we prioritize the safety of our comrades, understanding that the materials at our disposal come and go, while the life and freedom of our brothers and sisters is the most valuable component of the arsenal.

These bitter situations are softened when we know from practice that although the State, police and prosecutors are careful to protect their territories, neighborhoods, institutions and infrastructures, the attack is still possible in contexts of control and passivity. The attack does not come to life in fervent virtual slogans, it is a threat when it bursts into the streets.

Sablons (Isère), France : “For Serge, stop industry”

via:sansnom

Nord-Isère, An electric line sabotaged: the Hexcel chemical factory stopped

“For Serge, stop industry”. This is the tag sprayed with black paint on an electrical cabinet, at the foot of a pylon supporting a 225,000 volt power line, damaged by a fire early this Friday in Sablons. With this “signature”, referring to Serge, this demonstrator seriously injured in the head during the outbursts of the demonstration against the mega-basin in Sainte-Soline, the criminal nature of this act is not in doubt.

It was 4:44 am when the firemen were informed of a fire. A fire had just damaged this high-voltage line supplying the Hexcel factory in Salaise-sur-Sanne, a company specializing in carbon fiber [Note of Sans Nom: it manufactures, among other things, the wings for the Airbus A350]. Immediately, the site was frozen before the arrival of gendarmes from the Vienne research brigade and criminal identification technicians from Grenoble. An investigation was opened for “deliberate destruction by arson”.

An electric cable of 225.000 volts was set on fire early this Friday, May 19 in Sablons, in Isère. The manager of the electric network RTE gave the alert around 3:30 am, after an alarm was triggered. The origin of the power cut was then detected an hour later, around 4:30 am.
