Willem Van Spronsen - Always on the Offensive at the Border Crossings

by Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis

Three years ago, on July 13, 2019 in the state of Washington, the antifascist anarchist Willem Van Spronsen fought his last battle in an armed attentat against a migrant detention center. [...] Precisely in this way, in the borders of the E.U. and the Greek territory, a long-running class massacre is being carried out, no less political than the intra-imperialist war in the Russian-Ukrainian zone. A massacre that is met with indifference by the comfortable Europeans and Greeks, bipartisans and leftitsts, just like the Germans who «didn't know» about the nazi death camps. Comrade Willem broke through an invisible border, blowing up the complicit silence, attacking the miserable class distinction, the antisocial cannibalism of those that don't risk their own skin while they inhabit the slaughterhouse, in the territories of the masters, with their own body. With gun at hand.

On the sentence of the Operation Scripta Manent trial

Write an anarchist prisoner today! WRITE RIGHT NOW!!!!!

The hearing of the Scripta Manent trial took place on July 6 at the Court of Cassation (Supreme Court). The court reclassified the facts of the explosive attack to the Carabinieri students school in Fossano (Cuneo) on June 2, 2006, claimed by Rivolta Anonima Tremenda – Federazione Anarchica Informale, for which Anna and Alfredo were prosecuted, in “massacre & political” (art, 285), returning the process to the court of Torino for the punitive recalculation of the sentence. All the other sentences were confirmed, between 1 year and 9 months and 2 years and 6 months, for 11 comrades, and the acquittals for the rest of the defendants, which thus become definitive.

We will not stay warm during the storm

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

Our proposal is not that of a specialized campaign against 41bis or against prisons: not because we like these institutions or because we think anyone should remain locked up in them, but because we think it is urgent to start from a “simpler” goal, knowing full well that when we have achieved it we will not have even begun in our struggle, which is for social revolution. A struggle for the destruction of the prison cannot be won as long as there are states and authorities: therefore, these are battles that must be carried on continuously, but we would like, in this case, to try to give ourselves an attainable goal even in the short or medium term.

Paint attack and breaking of windows at courthouse

ATTACK!

...in solidarity with anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis

On Monday night 11/7 we attacked the Patras courthouse, painting the facade and breaking its windows, in solidarity with the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis who is on hunger strike since 23/5, waging a struggle against state vengeance with his own body as a weapon.

A letter from the special cell of Lamia Hospital – Giannis Michailidis

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

Anyway at this moment, my own stinger has already pierced my body and is spreading poison destroying its vital organs, probably irreversibly. However, it will inevitably pierce, even if only temporarily, the murderous order that sustains this system of generalized enslavement and exploitation of nature (human and otherwise)…

THE ONLY DEFEATED STRUGGLE IS THE ONE NEVER GIVEN

FREEDOM OR DEATH

TWO ANARCHISTS ARRESTED IN MOSCOW

TWO ANARCHISTS ARRESTED IN MOSCOW

From anarquia.info, Russia

There is «news» that hits like a punch in the face. They sound like something out of a Dostoevsky novel, but their date is March 6, 2022.

Two fellow anarchists determined to act against the war, and willing to die for it. They are now hostages of the Russian state.

Solidarity Breakfast in Canarias

"Breakfast Program (FAGC)"

Neighborhood anarchism and strong social communities

The Gran Canaria Anarchist Federation has been taking action to address basic needs for a decade now, be it through housing or food autonomy projects. Social community projects become stronger when they learn to manage and solve the problems that they take-on as their own. The comrades conclude that “in the face of the ineptitude, inability and disinterest of the institutions toward this situation, worsened by the consequences of the pandemic and the wars, we launched this initiative that aims to feed tens of minors with healthy nutrition and without animal suffering”. Revolutions are made from the barricades, with a well fed stomach.

Responsibility claim for hammer attacks

...in solidarity with anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis

On Friday night, July 8th, we carried out a raid with hammers on the policed, touristic and “gentrified” centre of Thessaloniki on Tsimiski Street. We chose to attack a central store of the AB Vassilopoulos chain, which, apart from its constant stance on the implementation of the most neoliberal dictates in the labour regime of the chain’s branches, has taken the current intensity of the capitalist crisis as an opportunity to make a fortune at the expense of society by blowing up the prices of basic goods. We also attacked a branch of elpedison, which, respectively, is ensuring a rapid increase in its profits in the context of the current crisis, bringing poor households to their knees. Finally, we hit a Eurobank branch by breaking its ATMs.

On interventionism

...but the Class War what?

Considering No War But the Class War

The war in Ukraine has raised a sometimes heated discussion on one of socialism’s most potent slogans: No War But The Class War. The general political idea (deserters and mutineers having always existed), is that the working class should not fight and die for the schemes of the rich and the frothing delusions of nationalism. It appears in World War I, II, in the Falklands, in Iraq. It is shouted at rallies and printed on placards. It’s graffiti’d, leafletted and posted online.

Resonsibility claim for arson attack on a Cosmote vehicle

There are no isolated arsonists

From Act for Freedom!

An anarchist companion, Ivan, was arrested in the Paris region on June 11, 2022. He is suspected of several car arsons: cars with diplomatic plates, cars of the rich, of Enedis, and of others. We consider the arson and sabotage of cars, cell towers, electricity pylons and corporate targets as a strategy of the international anarchist struggle.
