I N S U R R E C T I O N... IS THE MOTHER OF REVOLUTION

325.nostate.net

The State and System have factuallyproven their role against anarchists,

anti-authoritarians, fighting people,self-managed spaces and various

parts of society.

Within the social, ideological war there are

also losses. The times we are living noware tough. Disgusted by the social

relations and the models which theyreproduce, against every form of

exploitation and authority we aim at thedestruction of this rotten system, whether

its prospering, or its in crisis.

We consider multiform action as anintegral part of the revolutionary proce-

dures. From the distribution of leaflets inthe squares, the occupation of spaces, the

self-organization in workplaces and

neighbourhoods, up to militant protests,night-time raids and re-appropriations.

The words of our brothers and sisters incaptivity, give us the strength to continue.

Nothing is forgotten, nothing is left behind,the war continues as long as the

enemy is here.

And the journey continues with lossesbut also joys, with hardships but also

pleasant surprises.

Therefore, ALL OR NOTHING

Solidarity to those who fight for freedomand dignity inside and outside the prisons.

The destruction of all prisons is a pebble inthe struggle for human dignity, and social

and individual freedom.

INSURRECTIONIS THE MOTHER OF REVOLUTION

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

Rage and conscience until socialrevolution. Revolutionary greetings to all

comrades EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS!

ACT FOR FREEDOM NOW!

Im writing these lines concerning thesubjects of Solidarity and prison.I hope this can clarify the anarchistperspective as concerns revolution-ary solidarity and the differencebetween solidarity and support,which is anyway necessary. Theseopinions of mine are open to discus-sion.

When we talk about solidarity, asinsurrectionist anarchists we referexplicitly to actions, which besidesgiving solidarity to our comrades,attack the interests of the State/Capital and break some values ofthe system such as compassion andduty. These values lead to analysisand practices that have little to dowith solidarity with imprisonedcomrades. Solidarity actions, on thecontrary, are part of the struggle.

This revolutionary solidarity on whichwe pose our emphasis is the actionclaiming the war that our imprisonedcomrades are waging on the prisonsystem, and it is aimed to destabiliz-

ing the interests of the State/Capital,the main responsible for the existenceof prisons.

We know very well that in most casesnecessary support is very important,and it translates into benefit events,letters to comrades in prison, legal aid,spreading of the words of suchcomrades and information about their

particular cases. What Im trying to sayis that its not possible to reduce allsolidarity to these matters of support,and at the same time its not possibleto set up this necessary support onsentimentalism. In this way itd beconfused with the values instilled bythe system, just like compassion andeven blame. We have to mark ourdifference with Non-GovernmentalOrganisations (NGOs) and otherleftist groups that dont challenge theprison system or the existence of the

concept of prison in everyday life.Moreover, our groups of necessarysupport to prisoners must start form alogic of destruction of prisons andoppose this logic to that of the NGOs,

A Few Notes on Anarchist RevolutionarySolidarity and the Struggle against Prison

Communiqu of

Luca BillyBernasconi about

his hungerstrike

(Switzerland)

Prison separates us physically from thestruggles. It isolates us from our lovedones and from the daily complicity ofour paths of struggle, denying us ourown desires. However it doesntmanage to take them away from ourhead, nor the fight from our spirit.On the contrary, the rage and hate wefeel against these walls and our jailersroots them further on into our soul, intoour flesh.

The thought becomes even moreimpelling than on the outside: whatcan I do? Therefore, when opportuni-ties to take part in outside mobiliza-tions from the inside of these wallsarise, its lived as something muchmore than symbolic. Its a moment Iseize and make fundamentally mine,deep inside where no guard, no cop,no one else whose intention is toabuse their power, should ever beallowed to lay neither hand nor eye.There, inside us, where nothing issymbolic but everything is tension.

Leaders of different sorts of dominion(politicians and contractors, of themedia and spiritual means) will meetthis year at the World Economic Forum(WEF) in Davos. There they willconfront each other with varioussubjects in order to trace new modelsthat will anchor even deeper their ownprivileges and allow them to get richer.Among those subjects, one that standsout is the one relative to the newtechnological social models and, moreprecisely, to the next wave of techno-logical innovations, especially in thesciences of life, in nanotechnology, inthe artificial intelligence.

It is well known that times of crisis arevery propitious periods for the elite inpower to force passages that previ-ously were impracticable, therebyintroducing changes that allow thesystem to consolidate even better itspower over everyones life.Crises are, in fact, what the systemneeds to renovate in itself and theworld around it.

These days, a problem that they makeus perceive with exhausting continuity

ment, the defense of their privileges andof their domination, naturally confirmingthe tendency of the last years to asense of social and environmentalresponsibility (a faade).

Actually, concerning nanotechnologies,one of the key issues during the ses-sions in Davos will regard exactly how to

understand every single danger beforeunpredictable consequences will impactthe public support for nanoscientificresearch in a negative way.

Its clear, isnt it? Their concern is notthe harmfulness that they enclose, butfor people to keep on believing theirpromotion as a miracle of science; andto not even cross peoples minds torefuse them, as already happened (andcontinues to happen) with biotechnolo-gies in the dietary field, since their

development could be determining forthe renovation of the system in act, andgive it a more respectable facade,which, consequently, would make itmore dominant. And this happensthanks to this crisis.

In order to participate in the outsidestruggles from within, during the WEFweek, from 20th till 29th of January, Iwill abstain from prison food and work,which is compulsory here. This refusal isalso intended to be an answer to

Silvias recent isolation in the psychiat-ric section of the womens prison inHindelbank, as well as to the decision ofthe prison authorities not to grant visitsof friends and comrades without adividing glass, and in support of MarcoCamenisch, whose hearing concerningthe decision regarding his release onparole will take place in the next months(May 2012).

I take the opportunity to return hugs

of complicity and solidarity to thecomrades detained in Greece, Chile(forza Tortuga!), Mexico, Russia,

Belarus, Germany, Spain, the US, UKand anywhere in the world; to the

comrades of Fuoriluogo in Bolognaon trial, to the people from Florenceand to the antifascists from Cuneo, to

the rebels arrested or charged in Valdi Susa (Susa Valley) and to everyone

fighting inside and outside infamouswalls.

From a concentration camp forre-socialization - Regensdorf,January 15th, 2012

Billy

is not much about the climatechange (that for some is a decep-tion, while big companies, despiteputting on a greener dress, dontcare more about the planet thanconsidering it an instrument toexploit in order to secure theirbusiness) but rather about thenecessity of finding innovations in

order to perpetuate this shittysociety; by eliminating or delayingits most visible negative aspectssuch as ecological unbalanceswith its consequences in thechanging of the climate, or theproliferation of diseases thatstigmatize our health.

A turning point has thus arrived forthem, in which they come up withan act of renewal that will guaran-tee the perpetuation of the current

system of exploitation besides theimbalances and iniquities thathave been accumulated all theseyears, especially since the latterpostwar. The goal is not to solvethem, because to really solve theunbalances produced, it would benecessary to question the systemitself in its basic operation. In amuch more simple and cunningmanner they jump with both feetover it, transferring the productionof harmfulness to new, morecomplicated and submerged levelsthat cannot as easily be con-nected directly to the system wedepend on and its fundamentaldynamics of production.

In this sense, nanotechnologiesand biotechnologies have severalvery promising aspects, and thesame goes for every aspect orproductive sector of the techno-industrial system we live in. Theylltalk about them in Davos becauseat WEF big industrialists andworldwide contractors can meetbig scientists and hi-tech pio-neers from whom they get in-spired, then later share a drinkwith some big sponsors in orderto convince them to invest andsubsequently chat with somegovernmental authority (or nongov-ernmental, the roles often getblurred) in order to illustrate tothem the goodness of the comingdevelopments and researches. Themoment in Davos is a privilegedone. This is where the owners ofthis world and their accomplices(scientists and media) get inspiredtowards new shared (betweenthem) strategies for their enrich-

Val Susa: Luca Abbais hospitalized fight-

ing against the High-Speed Rail (Italy)

Widespread acts of resistance aretaking place across Italy triggered bythe near murderous actions of thepolice in Val Susa.

Baita Clarea is an area in Val Susawhere works for the implementation ofthe high-speed rail TAV were due tostart soon. On Monday 27th February

the forces of order proceeded to evictand expropriate the land in BaitaClarea in order to clear the way for thedevastating high speed railway works.On the same day Luca Abba, aresident of the Val Susa whose landwas also expropriated, climbed a pylonin an attempt to block the ongoingmilitary operation. The cops orderedLuca to come down without takingprecautions for his safety, pushing himeven higher and failing to cut off theelectricity of the pylon. As a result,

Luca was electrocuted and fell severalmetres below. Rescue was delayed bycordons of antiriot cops but finallyLuca was taken to hospital by helicop-ter. He is now out of danger althoughhis conditions remain very serious.Barricades were set up by NO TAV

people in the area, which has beendeclared a strategic site of nationalinterest. Protests and blockages arebeing organized all over Italy - Nowwould be a good time to pay a visit toItalian interests abroad.The faculty of Political Sciences of theUniversity of Bologna has also beenoccupied in solidarity with the struggle

in Val Susa.
