Incendiary attack on Bank of the Andes ATM in La Paz (Bolivia)
from liberaciontotal, transl waronsociety, communique:

We claim responsibility for the sabotage of an ATM belonging to the Pro Credit Bank of the Andes, located in the Miraflores area [of La Paz], which ended up totally unusable due to the fire.

There are new times of insubordination and disobedience in Bolivia.

New opportunities to re-propose and redefine conceptions of struggle for anarchy, we see from the lens of direct action and all its nuances, not from the abstracts and old reformist significations that are not only outdated but also contrary to the thirst for vengeance and destruction that emerges from the bowels, of the urgent reappropriation of our lives, not a life corrupted by money and consumption, but on the contrary, a life that soars far from its limits and its laws, complicit in every gesture with each of those who confront Power.

We defy every form of authority, we reject the phrases already made and repeated to the death by the erudite of the revolution who fly the discourse of the process of change and this disgusting anti-imperialist/anti-capitalist form of MAS [Movement for Socialism, the ruling government party of Bolivia].

We are not going to wait for them to tell us when is the adequate context for revolt, the “proper conditions” for struggle, factors that eternally return to waiting to finish with this reality. We decide to confront here and now, conscious of every action, every step that from now on will be a threat to Power and the society that collaborates and is part of the annihilation of the world in which we live.

Action in Solidarity.
Stella Antoniou, comrade imprisoned in Greece
Eat and Billy, comrades imprisoned in Indonesia.

Vengeance Federation claim bombing of BancoEstado (Chile)
from liberaciontotal, transl waronsociety, claim of responsibility on text of pamphlet:

By means of this communique we claim responsibility for the attack on the Banco Estado at the intersection of J.P. Alessandri and Las Encinas.

It is the means that we have to represent the will of war against capitalism, the States, power and all authority. We do not remain in fiery rhetoric, much less in the sterile debates of the groupings that swear themselves in the revolutionary struggle, and we make ourselves part of the urban anti-authoritarian war that has existed in Chile for more than 10 years. We make the subversive struggle a continual totality and not a momentary fragment, a temporal chapter. We organize ourselves replicating the decentralized experiences living happily in insurgent anonymity.

EVERYTHING WE DO IS A WINK TO OURS
TO THE DEAD, TO THE PERSECUTED, TO THE PRISONERS.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

We do not forget Luciano Pitronello, insurrectionalist prisoner! held hostage cowardly by the prison guards in the Santiago 1 prison.

We do not forget Mauricio Hernández Norambuena, Rodriguist prisoner of the Brazilian State submitted to insane isolation for more than 10 years. We salute his Resistance and integrity as a combatant, but we distance ourselves from Rodriguism and its self-referential and reformist culture!

We do not forget Juan, Marcelo and Freddy, prisoners of the social war, untiring fighters for their freedom!

To the dead and the prisoners we will never forget you!

Solidarity with the Wente Winkul Mapu community!!!

We will not tire of attacking until finishing with this great lie, against capital, for freedom, for Anarchy!!

Claim for arson at UDI headquarters in Rancagua (Chile)
from Liberación Total (April 9, 2012) translation by This Is Our Job:

Whichever color political parties may be, whether right or left, they are one of the principal supporters of the existing order of domination and exploitation, legislating and trying to manage people’s lives so that everything stays the same. Many (some naively) believe their false promises, but it’s clear that politicians are only looking out for their personal benefit and that of their class.

In the face of this reality, early on Sunday morning we carried out an arson at the Independent Democratic Union (UDI) headquarters in Rancagua. This is our first attack, and we undertook it in solidarity with our brother Tortuga and all the anarchist and antiauthoritarian prisoners around the world, since the best way to demonstrate our solidarity is to spread attacks on power and the existing order.

Authority, with its penalties and punishments, wants to scare off anarchist activity. But instead, it should know that we will keep attacking harder each time, that we will not rest until we see every trace of domination and exploitation reduced to ashes, that we will not allow them to sleep peacefully.

FOR THE SPREAD OF ATTACKS ON POWER.

FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM OF DOMINATION.

FOR TOTAL LIBERATION.

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

‘Commando Lambros Foundas’ burn nine cars of “Deutsche Telekom” in Berlin (Germany)
From directactionde:

8 April 2012

“Last night, the night to Sunday, we left an Easter egg in front of the door of “Deutsche Telekom” at Storkower Straße, as a fiery sign of our solidarity with all comrades world wide that are fighting against State and dominion.

Just some days ago a senior shot himself in the head, directly on Syntagma-square in Athens. The reason for that is, that he couldn’t pay his debts any more and the only way he saw at all was to committed suicide. Since the beginning of the crises more than 1500 people committed suicide in Greece. Companies like Deutsche Telekom are responsible as well, that the people do not see any other solution than suicide.

Pressurized by cuts in wages, pensions and holidays, that have to be carried by all layers of population, a huge insecurity spreads all over the land. We hope that, with this action, we were able to bring the anger of the people to the heart of European capitalism. The world wide actionday “M31″ is the beginning of an international solidarity.

“Deutsche Telekom AG” is one of many multinational companies, that try to take profit out of the crises to establish themselves on the European market. One example is the Greek telecommunication company “OTE”. The Greek state reacts because of the pressure of the EU and the IWF, that are pushing the privatization of the rest of the state-owned companies and to connect this with financial helps. A short while ago the Greek state owned 50% of the company and now had to sell 40% to “Deutsche Telekom”, that further on has the right to pre-sale the state-owned parts of “OTE” that are left.

The privatization points out the first consequences for the employees of “OTE”. Recently the “Deutsche Telekom” reported, that they will mark some changes for their new employees with the red pencil, beginning with the cuts on the Boni, as well as automatically stopping the contractual increase of the wage. Further on they will offer “voluntary” retirements. These cuts should help to lower the costs for wages down to 160 Mio euro. Job cuts are the necessarily results. Already in October wage cuts up to 11% were dealt with the unions.
But there is resistance inside the OTE-staff. 2011 some independent workers called out for a general strike on the 7th/8th of May.

Further on the “Deutsche Telekom AG” got a monopole position on the international market for telecommunication. Especially in relation to gapless surveillance the Telekom is a pioneer. In some federal states the daughter company T-Systems got delegated to build up the digital communication of police and fire fighter forces. Just some examples that encouraged us to visit this concern.

Viva la Anarchia!
Freedom for Stella Antoniou and all the other imprisoned comrades!

Brief communique:

As anarchists of nihilist tendency, we vindicate revolutionary action as a tool for our political-emancipatory project, we propose subversive urban guerrilla war as a form of struggle in the streets spaces, likewise for gain territory in our lives, in the face of the control of the authoritarian State.

We are revolutionary anarchists who reject and disregard the ranks of classic anarchism, likewise we reject the ancient strategy (end in itself) of accumulation of forces. We break with the old schemas and -isms, and we function by means of our inquietude and our personal I (which we temper with collective labor in order to accomplish according to vital goals, this being a false problem and not a contradiction at all).

As youth uprooted with expectations of wanting to free ourselves, we not only see our enemy in capitalism and the State, we also see it in the humanizing values of society, in its defense of the indefensible, therefore, we also seek to dis-articulate it. We are the uncontrollables, those who give free reign to socio-political destruction, those who see in the precarious and wild youth, in the immigrant youth and and youth of lower social class, the destabilizing explosion adequate for dismantling the bosses’ world and to entomb the State, we see adequate capacity for creating a tension of civil-revolutionary war by means of the tactic of the anarchist urban guerrilla and the conflict between the oppressive State and the revolutionary youth. We are working for the articulation of a constant influence in our spaces of the streets, that can create the situation of socio-political war against civilization, of razing to the ground capital’s schemas without any consideration.

We want to forge a generation of wild youth, disposed to destroy the city and the capitalist economy. From the Barcelona suburbs, we make a call to the rest of the youth for you to assume the nihilist branch of anarchism, to investigate your perceptions and to unite, under a black anti-authoritarian fist, let’s subvert the old order. Let’s go beyond.

Reciprocal solidarity:

Although at the time the actions did not have a concrete spirit of solidarity from the start and only sought to spread revolutionary action and revolt, we want to change the initial plan and to dedicate all of these actions (except the solidarity of April 6 with Stella Antoniou) to Gerasimos Tsakalos, Panagiotis Argyrou, Christos Tsakalos, Giorgos Karagiannidis, Alexandros Mitroussias, and Kostas Sakkas who at this time have started a hunger strike. Comrades, we send you a raised fist and a fervent revolutionary greeting.

Death to social peace!

For the return of terror to its gears!

Anarquistas nihilistas.

Portland, OR: Communique for attack on Chase Bank branch (USA)
from Portland Indymedia:

During the final hour of April Fool’s Day, a small group busted all of the front windows out of a Chase bank in the Woodstock area. We want to make it clear we do not glamorize or romanticize our actions over anyone else’s actions. Nevertheless, we encourage other people to make visible the conflict with capitalism in whatever manner they see fit.

Manifesting a clear conflict that is not constrained to legal methods is important and necessary for not letting the anti-capitalist sentiment subside in Portland. We applaud all of the actions that have happened against banks, especially the actions prior to February 29.

We send our greetings to the comrades in the SF Commune, our comrades in Barcelona, and every one who is stuck in prison.

ALL OUT FOR MAY DAY

Lublin: Solidarity action for political prisoners (Poland)
325 receives and transmits:

In the last days of March, we attacked with paint three ATM’s, each belonging to another bank. The growing climate of state repression, must meet with our overwhelming response. An uncompromising attack of capital, taking away from us the remaining social gains, can no longer remain unanswered.

Violence is an integral part of our lives, concealed behind a mask of abstract social relations. Pushed to the ghettos of poverty, filling the prison cells, reside in the slums of third world. We have no illusions about it. We will come from darkness of the night and attack state and capitalist targets, every time more violently and with a stronger belief in the rightness of our actions.

We also address our words to those who are staying on the moderate positions, trying to censor different concepts of fight. Our dreams remain illegal, WE remain illegal. There is no place for us in capitalist machine. We don’t find ourselves on another miserable demonstration. We don’t make long-term political plans. We don’t ask the chiefs and rulers for small compromises. We want immediate change, looking for each other, creating cells capable to provide adequate answer to our daily humiliations.

We dedicate this symbolic action to prosecuted fighters of the Revolutionary Struggle and the Conspiracy of Cells Of Fire. Comrade Tortuga, who remains in dungeons of Chilean state. Eat and Billy, captive by the Indonesian State. Stella Antoniou, facing health problems, and all political prisoners from around the world.

Honour to comrade Lambros Foundas, who fell dead, by cops’ bullets.

Communiqué for bombing at ESADE business school in Barcelona (Catalunya)
From Liberación Total (March 27, 2012) via This is our Job:

Street protests against the attacks of capitalist States on our living conditions have recently spread throughout Europe. Despite the strikes, actions, and massive demonstrations, and despite the broad movements that haven’t even expressed any grand revolutionary aspirations beyond the mere defense of minimum basic necessities, the States have responded with indifference.

Appealing to confusing economic formulas, numbers, statistics, and abstract concepts, those States have tried to locate the problem’s origin in inaccessible, metaphysical realities. However, the origin and causes of our daily problems have no metaphysical foundation whatsoever. Poverty, exploitation, repression, and systematic abuse are the results of very concrete structures, of specific decisions taken by specific people who have specific interests.

One such structure is called the College of Business Administration and Management (ESADE). Nestled in the middle of the wealthy Pedralbes neighborhood, this school produces a stream of executives who—day after day—order, manage, and benefit from the destruction of the lives of the great majority of the population. Each year, the school propels social predators into the world, and for the rest of their lives they dedicate themselves to plundering and trampling on this country’s exploited from their institutional (like the presidency of the Generalitat itself, occupied by Artur Mas) or corporate positions.

Facing a context of intensifying exploitation and instability, and facing the new, deeply serious attack brought on by the recent Labor Reform, we have decided to respond by pointing out those responsible for the situation we are suffering through. Therefore, last Wednesday, March 21, we decided to carry out an attack that forced the interruption of the school’s functioning and caused its evacuation. The action was specifically designed (through the location of the device’s placement, the quality and quantity of explosive material used, etc.) to not cause injuries. Our goal, apart from singling out an entire social network of exploiters, was to sabotage the offensive, insulting social peace prevailing in the wealthy neighborhoods, which are totally hermetic and oblivious to the anguish and suffering generated by their decisions and privileges.

Having reached this point, we pose a question for reflection. Since the press have noted that students, professors, and area residents got away unscathed, how can we describe the everyday experience of those who live in poor neighborhoods? If being evacuated from your school for a few hours means getting away unscathed, what should we presume to call what thousands of evicted people feel—those who sleep in the street, those who are psychiatrized for not bearing the pressure, those who are brutally beaten for protesting, even peacefully? What do we call the suffering of the excluded, tortured in prisons and Immigrant Detention Centers? What do reporters call what the families of people murdered by the police have experienced, experience, and continue to experience?

If we have given them a “scare,” what are they doing to us?

We, and more people every day, know full well who the real terrorists are. They are the ones whom the press define as honorable people, the ones who have their luxurious offices on Plaza Sant Jaume or Avenida Diagonal, the ones who live in mansions in Pedralbes and Sant Cugat and send their sons and daughters to ESADE. They are the ones who, even though they have it all, dare to overstep their own legal limits and steal more of what they theoretically get according to their own rules.

We warn that if the State isn’t willing to withdraw its attacks, then we won’t be willing to withdraw our resistance. If they are prepared to bring back the policies and living conditions of the last century for us, then we will be prepared to revive the weapons and tactics of that era for them. And if they believe they will go right through us—not just our group, but all of society—without resistance or rebellion, then they don’t know the history of our people.

STRUGGLE IS THE ONLY PATH.

—Barcelona (The Rose of Fire), Spanish State, March 2012

Explosive attack against the Indonesian Embassy in Paris (France)
21 March 2012

From the press:

A bomb of artisan manufacturing has exploited this Wednesday in front of the Indonesia Embassy in Paris, without causing casualties, although damage.

“The Embassy of Indonesia in Paris reported an explosion at one of the intersections near the building to the 5.20 hours”, has confirmed the Coordinating Minister for Legal Affairs, political and security of Indonesia, Djoko Suyanrto.

Suyanrto has indicated that there is no victims among people working in the diplomatic headquarters. “The Ambassador is in place, but has been unable to move away”, the Indonesian official said. Nevertheless, yes there has been material damage, the Windows are broken.

Questioned about the reasons for this attack, Suyanrto has pointed out that, for the moment, is unknown what was the target of the bomb.

Police sources consulted by the daily Le Parisien reported that several witnesses have seen three men placed a package near the Embassy of Indonesia in Paris, located in the 16th district.

Anti-Authoritarian Flyer from Manado (Indonesia)

This flyer was distributed during a protest against increasing fuel prices that was held in Manado, 27 March 2012, as a statement of the position of several anarchists that consciously joined the action but refused to submit to the propaganda and sensationalism of the Left and the reformists.
(Thanks to the translator. Original from Negasi.) From disaccords.wordpress.com

For us, protesting the increase in fuel prices is merely one partial action that is not essential. For us, being trapped in the logic of the economy and political issues is a shallow analysis of the commodification of life under capitalism and the State. Whether the price of fuel rises or not, it won’t change the fact that each of us remain consumers whose only role is to buy. Each of us remain low-cost workers whose role is to produce the commodities that we will buy. Each of us remain zombies who don’t have anything other than the obligation to continue being ruled, oppressed, tortured, consumed and to accumulate all the things we don’t need.

The deprivation of lives, their dreams and loves, is too simple if merely contained in economic issues such as rising fuel prices. We are too angry to understand that it is far more important for us to define and reclaim our lives, than simply following the glamour party of false opposition: to protest or support raising the price of fuel.

Demand more! This is an attempt for the possible to break out of impossibility, and the hypocrisy and shallowness of life at present.

And what do we want?

Total destruction of society and its entire infrastructure today. The simultaneous collapse of the State and Capital. The collapse of the political and economic tyranny that is the torturer and ties that bind society: civilisation.

This is the main reason behind the distribution of this flyer, together with peaceful demonstrations taking place in almost every city in Indonesia. Our involvement is to interrupt Capital and the State in various ways, including the moments that these demonstrations are taking place, because we consider a good demonstration to be one that clearly shows the face of recuperation.

And what do we demand?

Find your anger and let it flow in the streets. Destroy all property that you consider deserves to be destroyed. Directly attack Capital and the State, although there is no future for them.

"We do not look forward to a revolt in the future, but from the moment we become Anarchists." - Cyril Bell, a Sheffield anarchist, 1891
