For a militant response to the G82005

With an absolute rejection of the State socialist left, of hierarchical organisation and reformism, we call for a pro-active militant response to the July G8 meeting in Scotland, UK 2005. Refusing to conform to the agenda of the G8, we aim for a resurgence of committed radical activity against the State and Capital, everyday, all the time. Stressing decentralisation, and flexibility, we reiterate the fragile nature of the capitalist system, of the great precariousness of an economic system which is attacking workers, the unemployed, women, and the environment. Exploiting dwindling natural resources, the system is burning up the world in poverty, war, and ecological collapse.

In the midst of increased repression, we must carry through our ideas into action, moving from defence to active resistance. It is imperative we create practical networks based on informality and auto-organisation, acting on our desire to punctuate the silence of the EU, to ruin the neo-liberal fantasy of a united free-market. As the forces of State/Capital recognise the influence of the social movements, they turn entire areas into zones of total surveillance and set up police-units to frame and torture people. Technological means of control are in greater use more then ever, and proliferate beyond the dreams of any 20th century dictatorship.

The State commits people to intolerable prison sentences and tries to twist people’s minds against anything that questions the dominant paradigm.

Across Europe police forces collude with each other on the best way to manipulate, abuse and survey. The rising amount of arrests against the social movements is only equalled by the rising amount of globalist lies; as they attempt to recuperate our resistance into dialogue, we clearly understand that until capitalism is destroyed, our communities and ecology face catastrophe.

We do not believe more surveillance, prisons and war will make our communities safer, this will only be possible with secure housing, food, health and equality for all. Regardless of the media charade, these are things that the G8 will never provide.

We refuse the demands of global consumer society and its mentality of compliance. A culture of greed and despair, it protects the interests of finance, and maintains the disastrous trajectory our communities are set upon. Stores of identical items, every street and city centre the same pointless monoculture. Shopping complexes are more like prisons with their endless surveillance, private security and attendant perceptual processing. The apparent abundance of modern society is in stark relief to the environmental and economic realities of luxury; the exploitation that is the factory, the shop floor, the prison, the immigration centre, the animal research facility, the biotech lab, the refugee camp, the majority world.

The fact remains: the G8 themselves hold the real horror and violence.

The institutions of capitalism and hierarchy must be attacked, not just at international meetings of finance and heads of State, but constantly. When the boundaries that separate anarchists & anti-capitalists from other rebels dissolve, a situation is reached that the State is afraid of. It may explode in ways that the State and it’s institutions can neither prepare for, nor defend against. Through community organisation, interventions, property destruction and direct action we aim to reach this point! Our aim is the complete destruction of the capitalist system, all banks, corporations, prisons, judges, landlords, politicians and police forces.

Solidarity with all autonomous/anarchist fighters and political prisoners everywhere!

For free exchange, and voluntary association.
