Brief Statement About the Insurrection in Indonesia and the Subsequent Repression
The following statement by Palang Hitam / ABC Indonesia was broadcast on air Monday, December 9th / between 11am – 1pm CET on Radio Blackout. The name of the show is “bello come una prigione che brucia” (Beautiful as a Burning Prison), a show broadcast since 20 years against prisons, repression, surveillance, military tech and AI. Radio Blackout is an autonomous radio (FM in Turin, Italy, and streaming elsewhere) born in 1992 as common project self managed by local squats, social centers and various collectives and individuals (antifa, anti authoritarian, anticapitalist, anti lots of things, with comrades from different areas of anarchism and communism).
From August to early September 2025, Indonesia was hit by demonstrations and riots triggered by public anger over government policies that were considered detrimental to the people. The main triggers of these protests were drastic increases in the cost of living, including food prices and education costs, as well as mass layoffs that affected many workers. In addition, increases in land and building taxes imposed by local governments as a result of funding cuts from the central government further exacerbated the situation. Public frustration peaked when there were proposals to increase the allowances and salaries of members of the House of Representatives (DPR) which seemed to ignore the suffering of the people.
Initially, public anger was only expressed on social media with calls to dissolve the House of Representatives. However, the response from members of the House of Representatives, especially Ahmad Sahroni, who called the critics “the dumbest people in the world,” only worsened the situation. On August 25, the anger erupted in the form of a massive demonstration in front of the House of Representatives office, which ended in chaos with clashes between demonstrators and the police.
This first demonstration was attended by various elements of society, such as online motorcycle taxi drivers, vocational school students, and members of the general public who were not affiliated with any particular organization. Although the posters they made were ridiculed by some pro-democracy activists for being poorly designed and therefore likely to have been “made by intelligence agents,” the protests continued. Their demands focused on the elimination of allowances for members of the House of Representatives, which were considered too wasteful, the passing of the Asset Seizure Bill, and the rejection of a number of other controversial bills.
On August 26-27, demonstrations continued despite a decline in the number of participants. Many students began to hold open discussions, showing that the issue of the House of Representatives was gaining public attention. However, riots broke out again on August 28, when labor demonstrations in various major cities demanded an increase in the minimum wage, the abolition of the outsourcing system, and changes to the Manpower Act. In Jakarta, labor protests in front of the House of Representatives building and the State Palace ended in riots, which escalated after an online motorcycle taxi driver named Affan Kurniawan was killed when he was hit by an armored police vehicle in Pejompongan, Central Jakarta. This incident was captured on video and went viral, sparking further outrage.
Since early August 29, online motorcycle taxi drivers have gathered at the Kwitang Mobile Brigade Headquarters, demanding justice for Affan’s death and holding the police accountable for the violence against demonstrators. The crowd grew, including students, and the demonstration shifted to police stations and government buildings. However, despite negotiations, the crowd was dissatisfied with the results, and riots broke out again, causing public transportation to come to a standstill and several stations to close.
The riots spread to various major cities outside Jakarta. There were 34 other flashpoints outside Jakarta where public facilities, police stations, and local council buildings were set on fire by the mob. On August 30-31, tensions escalated after it was revealed that several members of the House of Representatives, including Ahmad Sahroni, were abroad. This news further fueled public anger, which led to the storming of the homes of Sahroni and several other members of the House of Representatives, as well as government officials such as Finance Minister Sri Mulyani. Their homes were looted by a crowd that could no longer contain their anger.
That night, the power went out around the Mobile Brigade Headquarters, and police forces deployed to control the riots used tear gas and gunfire to disperse the crowd. The armed forces and police conducted sweeps in various areas to crack down on the rioters. This crackdown continued in the following days, causing tensions to rise throughout Indonesia. The Indonesian government labeled the demonstrators with accusations ranging from terrorism to treason. Instead of meeting the demands during the demonstrations, the Indonesian government responded with continued repression and a retreat from democratization.
This popular uprising was essentially driven by ordinary people, particularly high school students, the unemployed, and the online motorcycle taxi community—forces that had been underestimated and considered “politically unaware” by middle-class activists and most leftists. These rebels are not people who act based on their reading of Marxist or anarchist books. They are on the streets because the information circulating on social media has provoked their anger; anger that is then moderated by the middle class shouting “don’t destroy public facilities,” “don’t be anarchists,” “don’t be provoked,” and finally: making a series of long-winded demands called “17+8” on September 1 just to extinguish the fire and anger (the demands “17+8” that have never been realized until today). It is true that the mob still lack practical intelligence. But of course that is not their fault. Since they are the people who have always been sacrificed by the state and even by the opposition elites who claim to be “revolutionaries”—they have grown up with the understanding that anger must find an outlet.
Then, when the fires stopped burning everywhere, when the rulers and political elites apologized in public, no one could say for sure how it all began. There had been a lot of consolidation, discussion, cross-ideological networking, political campaigns, etc.; but what happened in August 2025 was a festival of insurrection that no one could have predicted. Even when the demonstrations first began, until the death of Affan Kurniawan as the boiling point of public anger, these demonstrations were still seen as “staged demonstrations” for the benefit of those in power, which, ironically, were promoted massively by most middle-class pro-democracy activists and their followers.
Now, after the riots, the police have arrested many people, including anarchists egoist/nihilists, but most of them are victims of wrongful arrest who did not even participate in the demonstrations. They are accused of being masterminds, provocateurs, intellectual actors, and are labeled as “groups of chaos stars.” Meanwhile, the members of DPR such as Ahmad Sahroni, who sparked public outrage, remain in office and have not been dismissed. Recently, the DPR passed a revision to the Criminal Procedure Code that allows police officers to arrest people without evidence and to secretly wiretap, record, and tamper with digital devices.

Anarchist and Antifascist Organizations in Europe Face Terrorism Designation by US Regime
The United States Department of State has decided to designate four European groups associated with the Antifa movement as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” (FTOs) and “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGTs)—a move that marks a new escalation in the specific designations to have been applied to cells internationally linked to the anarchist and antifascist movement.
According to Fox News, the inclusion of the four organizations on the FTO and SDGT lists places them in the same category as groups like ISIS (Islamic State), Al-Qaeda. The decision extends former U.S. President Donald Trump’s prior directive on domestic terrorism, giving this policy an international dimension.
Two of the four organizations targeted by the U.S. are based in Greece: Armed Proletarian Justice and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense. According to fascist US media, these groups have carried out attacks on government buildings in various parts of the country, which clearly were linked to the ongoing revolutionary struggle against the state, capital and imperialism. The most recent attack involved a bombing at the headquarters of Hellenic Train last April. Revolutionary Class Self-Defense reportedly dedicated the attack “to the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance.”
One of the other organizations is Antifa Ost, a revolutionary organization linked to attacks in Germany between 2018 and 2023. German prosecutors have already charged seven individuals allegedly connected to its activities. In September 2025, the Hungarian state designated the group as a terrorist organization after allegations that nine members attacked Nazi’s in Budapest in 2023 using hammers, clubs, and pepper spray.
Another central group is the Informal Anarchist Federation, a coalition based in Italy that supports armed revolutionary struggle against the state. The group has been linked to dozens of revolutionary actions over the past two decades, including letter bombs sent to government and industrial targets, small explosive devices, and shooting incidents, including the injury of a nuclear engineering employee in 2012.
This is not the first time anarchist organizations have faced designation. The Conspiracy Cells of Fire and Revolutionary Struggle have both faced the same designation from the US regime. But the expansion of this process, as the US is launching internal fascist repression, makes this incredibly significant.

Call to Arms: Insurrectionary Solidarity with Indonesia
Communique from FAI Indonesia:
Since the 25th, the flames of rebellion have scorched the oppressive forces in Indonesia, igniting a fierce uprising against a regime that thrives on violence and subjugation. This is no fleeting moment; it is a throbbing heartbeat of resistance from those long denied their rights. The loss of ten lives in this struggle only deepens our resolve to confront the state and its henchmen.
As the government unleashes military brutality, kidnaps activists, and engages in sinister cyber warfare, we are reminded: “Insurrection is the most logical weapon of the masses.” It is time to act- our fury must unite as a force beyond borders!
Comrades across the globe, rise! Attack Indonesian interests wherever they are found. Disrupt the machinery of oppression with every act of defiance.
Join the clash, amplify the voices of the oppressed, and make it clear: our resistance knows no bounds.
Together, we can dismantle the techno-industrial civilisation!

Fire to the prisons #9 (Summer 2010) | libcom.org
Issue 9 of Fire to the prisons, an insurrectionary anarchist publication.
The Night in Black May When the Mauricio Morales Revolutionary Cells Attacked a Business of the Cop Claudio Crespo with Explosives: Chile
Claudio Crespo has been identified as the cop who shot and mutilated the eyes of a young person on November 8, 2019, when the October revolt was in full swing. A few days ago, the CIPER media released body camera footage of the chilean police [1], in which phrases can be heard like: “we’re going to shoot your eyes out”, “let the fucker burn” or “all these fuckers have to get killed“. In other audiovisual recordings he can be observed tearing out a lock of hair from a detainee’s head and sending a photo of it as a trophy to a Whatsapp group called “Scissors” where it seems it was common practice for these miserable police to send records of their “trophies”.
Days after the release of these videos, the cop Claudio Crespo affirmed that “I regret nothing” and “I don’t give a shit”. [2]
Does this surprise us? No. The police is the armed wing of the powerful, defenders of the flesh and blood of property, modern pacifiers who for a salary have decided to take up arms against those who challenge normality and confront a system of life sustained by hierarchies and obedience using the various practices of political violence. In this sense, the words of the cop in question represent the dynamics of the police, who possess no codes at the time of confrontation and make morbid, mocking remarks as a kind of gesture to show their masters that they work to defend their interests. Like a gaucho hanging the dismembered body of a cougar from the pediment of the plots in Patagonia, so the bosses know about their work, unaware that, at some point, the hunters will become the hunted.
However, anarchist and anti-authoritarian practice has known how to hit them across the world, in every corner where hands and hearts are ready to plan and organize gestures of vengeance translated in small victories. From Kurt Wilckens executing the repressor Benigno Varela [3], anarchist comrades in the U.S. sending letter bombs to police stations, book bombs sent to police in Greece, an explosive expert who lost a hand and an eye in Italy, a cop wounded by the explosion of a letter bomb inside a police station in Chile. These actions and many more have demonstrated that anti-police action is always necessary and urgent because, as we have pointed out, they are the defenders of the flesh and blood of all the infrastructure of power and authority.
Anarchist memory doesn’t only remember comrades who have died in action or for other causes, it must also identify and recognize the small victories created throughout the years, and guarantee that these remain necessary elements to create a practical-moral impulse in the present and in the next steps. In this sense, it seems necessary to recall the action carried out a few years ago by the Mauricio Morales Revolutionary Cells, when they attacked the headquarters of Fullclean Security with explosives. This company was created by the cop Claudio Crespo after he was discharged from the filthy institution in which he defended the powerful. Under control of the miserable man, the company has won important bids that have filled his pockets – contracts with the police hospital for about $6.5 billion, $3.6 billion with the municipality of Lo Barnechea, and $40 million with the Maipo Presidential Delegation.
In particular, the night of Black May on May 20, 2022, a powerful rumble was felt around 11pm in the Sucre de Ñuñoa neighborhood, specifically at #2161 where the offices of Fullclean S.A. are still located today. In the front garden of the property, police found cables, remains of a brown bag, pieces of plastic, a battery and timers and the South Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office took over the investigation, having exclusive control over such matters.
We leave the full communique of the explosive action below:
Claim of an explosive attack against Fullclean Security
We have attacked with explosives the private security company of Claudio Crespo Guzman, ex-cop mutilator, cocaine addict and part of Chile’s fascist shock troops!
On the night of Black May 20, we went to Fullclean Security at Román Díaz Street #2161, Ñuñoa., to harass this mercenary who, unable to continue repressing in uniform, has set up a private company to exercise power and control as a means of subsistence.
Both the business of state and private surveillance clearly maintain the relationships necessary to perpetuate their privileges and authority in this place. Repressive activities are an essential part of their validation mechanism, therefore there is not nor will there ever be a state that does not imprison, maim or kill those who stand in the way of its ongoing devastation and violence. These activities are part of a continuity of state policy that transcends governments, be they right-wing, left-wing, plurinational or conventional. There is no need to separate the leaders from the mafia: every authority is equally bad.
In confronting this repressive reality, we show our combative solidarity with subversive prisoner Marcelo Villarroel who is still imprisoned solely because of convictions by the military court, legacy of the dictator Pinochet and perpetuated by governments and the intellectual managers of democracy, including what is left of the Boric government. We call for agitation between May 23 and 30 for the freedom of our comrade.
Because a powerful fire is only the continuation of a small spark, this action goes in memory of our brother and comrade Mauricio Morales whose ideas and practices of freedom remain a bomb that spreads.
We salute the comrades who keep the fight for freedom alive in the high schools and in the streets, disregarding institutional hope with fire and disobedience.
A fraternal and revolutionary hug to Pato Gallardo, tireless fighter who recently died, leaving behind a committed history of struggle in dictatorship and democracy.
Greetings and freedom to our prisoners.
We’re angry and running out of patience, do not say that we are few, say that we here.
We send greetings and strength to La Negra Venganza, Grupo Autónomo Revolucionario del Maule, Grupo de Respuesta Animal, Fracción Autonómica Cristián Valdebenito, Células Revolucionarias Nicolás Neira, Simon Radowitzky Anti-capitalist Cell and those who keep attacking around the world.
New Subversion
Freedom or Death
Mauricio Morales Revolutionary Cells
The cop mentioned the harassment action on his Twitter account, saying that “yesterday I was victim to a cowardly terrorist attack at the company. They installed a bomb and thank God there were no injuries and my family is fine.” Apparently, he doesn’t know that it wasn’t due to divine will that the actions against him until now have intended to besiege him, and not as the comrades of the Grupo Autónomo Weichafe Matias Katrileo said a few years ago, “We alone decide the materials, schedules and objectives and advance according to the direction of war… when we intend that the damage-destruction will be different. This is how we will do it, and all planning will point in that direction.(4)”
We bring this action to mind in the face of so many comments -even from “anarchists”- tending towards human rights, positions and discourses aligning with reformist, platformist and/ or popular sectors, which only aim to rearrange the chess board of power. The human rights discourse is not at all close to our ideas, since its very existence is closely linked with the protection of democracy, and democracy itself is the protection of the state. We call on everyone not to lose the anti-authoritarian sense of smell, not to submit in our discourses and to enhance our anarchic memory, our ideas and horizons for confrontation.

EN: The preliminary hearing of October 10th in the so-called Sibilla repressive operation, which involves twelve anarchists, including Alfredo Cospito, who is detained under 41 bis prison regime in Bancali prison (Sassari) and connected through videoconference (obligatory under 41 bis), ended with a postponement due to lack of notification.
Initially scheduled to take place at the court in via XIV Settembre, the building that serves as the court of preliminary investigation (this is usually where interrogations of guarantees, re-examinations and preliminary hearings are held), it was only when they entered the courtroom that the tireless officials of the administration of justice realised that there were no suitable rooms in that building for hearings using videoconferencing. Therefore, the hearing was hurriedly moved to the central seat of the court of Perugia in piazza Matteotti.
Several accused comrades, including Alfredo himself, asked to be allowed to make spontaneous statements, but were met with firm opposition by chief prosecutor Raffaele Cantone, who replaced the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Manuela Comodi, after she ran into some legal troubles; all this in a paradoxical situation in which it was the prosecution that asked for a postponement, without the official opening of the hearing and therefore also without being able to make statements.
The comrades who were present (we remember that the preliminary hearing is held behind closed doors) managed to ‘greet’ Alfredo on camera and even made themselves heard on the microphone for a brief moment, upsetting the judge and prosecutor. Alfredo responded to the greetings by waving and raising his fists cheerfully.
Outside the courtroom, a gathering of some twenty comrades reiterated their solidarity with Alfredo, the defence of the anarchist publications, and the denunciation of the authoritarian turn underway as an expression of the politics of war.
The next appointment is therefore for January 15th in Perugia, at 10 a.m., in piazza Matteotti. Reaffirming our solidarity with Alfredo and our determination to defend the agibility of the anarchist press, we invite the comrades to be present in solidarity on this occasion as well.

Alfredo out of 41 bis
Hands off the anarchist publications
On October 10th is set the preliminary hearing for Sibilla proceeding, which in November 2021 led to an operation targeted mainly against the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’, an operation intended as a repressive warning against revolutionary anarchist publications. On that date, an indictment will be requested for 12 anarchists on 19 counts, almost all of them aggravated by the purpose of terrorism.
In order to attack anarchists and revolutionary paths, the State rants about ‘inciting’ and ‘orienting’ capabilities in such an ambit as the anarchist movement, which has always been a proponent of an obstinate and radical autonomy of thought and action. An assertion that goes hand in hand with having supported in the Scripta Manent trial convictions for ‘political massacre’ in the country where the massacres, the real ones, have always been perpetrated by the State apparatus.
Together with that trial, Sibilla operation was decisive in the transfer into 41 bis prison regime of Alfredo Cospito, one of the 12 defendants in this case. With the intense 2022-’23 mobilisation against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole, we were able to prevent sentences up to life imprisonment resulting from Scripta Manent, due to the charge of ‘political massacre’. Today as yesterday, as a potential Sibilla trial approaches, we solidarise with Alfredo, defend anarchist publications and support the urgency of the revolutionary struggle.
While States gear up for war and profits for armaments grow out of all proportion, repressive organs again hurry to put anarchists on trial, an ‘internal enemy’ that must be eradicated because of their longstanding struggle against the State and capital. Repression against anarchist publications is part of war policies; 41 bis is war prison.
Solidarity gathering: Thursday, October 10th, at 9:30 a.m., in front of the court of Perugia in via XIV Settembre 86 (former Enel building).
Meeting to discuss the hearing and the struggle against 41 bis: Wednesday, October 9th, 8:00 p.m., at Circolo Anarchico ‘La Faglia’, via Monte Bianco 23, Foligno.

Switch Off! Campaign Claim of Incendiary Attack on “Melon” and “Río Maipo Aggregates” Cement Factory. (August 3. San Juan de Llolleo Sector, Valparaíso Region, Chile.
“We are the debris piles and the grains of sand in the gears of a machine which advances inexorably and with heavy steps. We are factors of disruption in the machine room”.
– Volcano Group
The night of Saturday, August 3, accompanied by the forces of the river, we decided to attack the “Melon” Cement factory and the “Río Maipo Aggregates S.A.” company.(1) located in the surroundings of the mouth of the Maipo River. We aimed to paralyze their functioning, entering both premises and igniting their lines of production, logistics and administrative offices using 10 incendiary devices, propitiating the total destruction of the facilities of the location, and so consolidating our third act of sabotage with significant damage to factories that pray on and threaten the life along the Maipo River. This act returns part of the decades of harm that they have caused to the land and the environments in which they operate, as a way of contributing to the struggle against devastation. To the destruction of the earth and our lives, the only way we can respond with dignity is through the total destruction of that which destroys it.
In this sector, as well as along other stretches of the river, the activity of cement and aggregate extraction brings ecological sacrifice and the degradation of the communities that inhabit the environment, converting it into another sacrifice zone (there are 4 total concrete, cement and aggregate factories that operate there). This hasn’t been irrelevant for the local population which has demonstrated against the effects provoked by the functioning of this nefarious industrial activity, though beyond this particular conflict in the zone, we become part of the same, putting our wager on revolutionary anarchic violence into practice with conviction as a concrete and necessary method for the sharpening of the conflict for the earth and total liberation.
Melon is a cement company operating in Chile which currently is in the hands of a powerful corporate conglomerate based in Peru (Breca Group, of the Brescia-Cafferata family), which proposes expanding their business of exploitation of the earth across the whole of southern Abya Yala, adding this activity to the rest of the economic sectors in which they already operate. In turn, the aggregate company “Maestranza y Planta de Áridos Rio Maipo S.A.” [Rio Maipo Aggregate Plant and Workshop] operates actively in the sector of the Maipo river of the Santo Domingo and San Antonio townships, Valparaiso region. This comes after attempting to establish themselves in the Navidad township (Rancagua, VI Region) commencing their activities without even having the respective approval of the environmental impact execution commission of the region, proving their total indifference to the harmful effects of the exploitation of the earth and the rivers. In addition to these two factories which were attacked, there are two other concrete/cement factories in the area; one of these is “San Juan Cementos” of the multinational group UNACEM, which also devastates the earth in various countries of Abya Yala (USA, Ecuador, Chile, Peru and Colombia).
The environmental impact that both activities have is well known, causes of the degradation of the rivers and environmental contamination, in addition to harming the life and ecosystems of the environments where they operate. It’s not without reason that other territories of the first world, models to which some aspire so much, prohibit the activity of extraction of aggregates in water basins. Extracting aggregates and minerals from the banks of rivers harms their course and velocity, generating sinkholes that are replicated upstream in a domino effect (a phenomenon called regressive or retrograde erosion). This destroys the flora and fauna that live there and promotes land slides or similar phenomena. The impact of cement production is not minor, bordering 7% of C02 emissions on a global level (three times that of air traffic, positioning itself as the third most contaminating industry). In addition, all of these absurd and enormous quantities of cement produced on a daily basis across the world (close to 150 tons are consumed each second) are created with raw materials such as gravel, pebbles and stones that they take from the mouths of the rivers or by drilling into the earth for extraction of minerals. Vast expanses of beaches are razed and devoured to extract the necessary sand.
These industries exist to proliferate the current civilized model of life, where each day cement imposes itself over more and more of the earth, crushing and hiding it to make way for the ingratitude toward what is native, raising enormous constructions through respective displacement or destruction of habitat of wild animals and vegetation that gives life to the ecosystems. This happens day after day without stop, expanding the city further and further into the edges and elevations, thus sweeping away what is natural in the territory. Where the parks are pleasing but only a simple functional bubble in the city in the middle of all the cemented shit. The rain water doesn’t adequately drain in the earth, the heat in the city of concrete is suffocating, and there is no longer even any earth to plant. All of this is cement and to maintain it and reproduce it they need these extractivist industries, destroyers of the environment. This gray and opaque form of life has grave consequences and these are not irrelevant to us.
Understanding that these companies make up part of this extensive extractivist machinery, present in the whole world and quickly converting all of Abya Yala into a sacrifice zone; that the exploitation of the earth is a vital artery of domination; that the industrial activity responsible for the changes to the climate caused by global warming have no real interest in halting their devastation but rather endeavor to feign environmentalism and new energy sources that are also harmful for the ecosystems and our lives; and above all, with the clarity that each of us is the only one who can fight the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth. We add our initiative and action to the internationalist “Switch Off!” campaign, which we spoke of in a past writing called “The Conflict in Abya Yala and its Relationship to “Switch Off!”: Anarchist Words on the Necessary Struggle for the Earth”.
Switch Off! The cement factories and aggregate extraction!
Switch Off! The world of devastation and the system of destruction!
May this fire be an embrace for the comrades who have dealt blows in other territories across the world like the attacks in Germany against the cement plants of “HeidelbergMaterials AG” and “Cemex”, to the comrade saboteurs of the Mountain Valley U.S.A. gas pipeline, to the perpetrators of the attacks against Tesla, among various other acts of sabotage and destruction across the globe. Knowing that attack must be immediate and in all territories where the facilities and means of those responsible for the devastation are found, contributing to dialogue through direct and confrontational action, without any shade of hope in institutional processes or savior entities. For those who we find on the offensive, encouragement and love <3
We also act in solidarity with the struggle for Mapuche autonomy that consistently remains with head held high despite the colonizing offensive of the chilean and argentine states, responding to excractivist industry with fire and bullet and without faltering.
But the state offensive hasn’t only been in Wallmapu; the repressive situation in the whole territory has heightened in the hands of social democracy, which has intensified its authoritarian policing policies against the whole sector which is antagonistic to the interests of capital and the State. It puts a nice face over its anti revolutionary actions, raising false flags of struggle pretending to be environmentalist, pro human rights, pro “original peoples” and to be against gendered violence, proving not only to be a fraud in each of these areas, but also reinforcing the opposite. We see this in the repressive escalation in Wallmapu, in the disproportionate and vengeful sentence against our anarchist comrade Francisco Solar, in the mediatized repressive hunt in the historically combative Villa Francia neighborhood, in the anti-squat law that indiscriminately criminalizes and punishes land occupations of residents without houses, in the construction of new high-security prisons. All this among so many other blatant actions that benefit the powerful to the detriment of the exploited and the fighters, like the release and total impunity given for the acts of police bastards like the pigs Crespo and Sebastian Zamora, to the assassins of Cristián Valdebenito and those of Pablo Merchant, among many other cases. Our solidarity to all those who suffered the consequences of repression including prison, mutilation, persecution and murder.
All of this is no more and no less than the work of the “popular” government that came to halt “fascism”, a government commanded by they who, in a key moment, lent a hand to power to agree to suppress the revolt and stop any possibility of popular violence escalating. All of this is the work of they who counted on the support of illusive votes of supposedly combative sectors. Faced with this, we demonstrate our total rejection of the complicit silence, victimization and immobilization of those self-proclaimed revolutionary sectors when the time came tried to convince us that participating in democracy could be a good idea. We abhor anyone who under the wings of the struggle actively sustains and participates in the electoral system and representative democracy that only defends the structure of the neoliberal and police regime, because institutionalism and its justice will always look out in favor of those who govern and their repressive arms. We are disgusted by those sectors which call themselves “anarchists” or “revolutionaries” and were part of the electoral show of the constituent and of this government. Those who today, instead of making a profound self-critique and arousing the determined step into offensive action, keep silent after bitten their tongues and today succumb to immobilization and sterile discourses that do little to end this reality that rattles us. The only response faced with brutal repression, the imprisonment of our comrades, political executions and the police state is and will be autonomous struggle and direct action, far from institutionalism and democratic traps. It was said in advance, counting on centuries of historical experiences of struggle, and today, by spitting and throwing it in the faces of those delusional participants in democracy, we repeat once again: there’s nothing to negotiate with the enemy, the only path is conflict, without half measures nor timidity, fire to progressivism and open war against all authority!
In this month of august, charged with memory for Santiago Maldonado and Macarena Valdés, we continue walking the path of direct confrontation, spreading fire against devastation, giving life and continuity to combative memory for our dead.
In addition we connect with the call for the week of international agitation for Francisco Solar, comrade currently imprisoned by the State through an 86 year sentence and in a vengeful isolation regime. We leave aside the victimist discourses and attack Power where it’s found, since this is the only way we have to get Francisco out of isolation. And the more frequent these attacks are, the greater there impact will be and, moreover, their capacity to have an erruptive impact will grow, which will certainly strengthen expressions of anarchist solidarity.
“We understand that the only way to stay alive is striking the oppressors. We know that Power won’t fall with these attacks, but this isn’t a reason for us to sit on our hands. We strike because we don’t envisage citizen passivity in our lives. We distance ourselves from formal combat structures to take the pleasure of attack into our own hands, united in affinity.
Let’s unleash destructive hostilities!”
-SEDITIOUS COMPLICITIES /FACTION FOR VENGEANCE
A strong, warm and tight embrace to Francisco Solar, Aldo, Lucas, Mónica Caballero, Tomás, Joaquín García, Panda, Rusio, Tortuga, Mapuche prisoners, Villa Francia prisoners and anarchist prisoners around the world. A push, a breath, a gesture and a wink, translated through fire against the industries of domination and devastation, making them part of this expansive fire of liberation.
Immediate freedom for the lonko Facundo Jones Huala who is on hunger and thirst strike in the prisons of the State of chile.
From Wallmapu to palestine, armed resistance is necessary against colonial occupation. Action against genocide is viable on all continents, to destroy colonialism wherever it’s found. From the river to the sea, palestine will be free.
“We attack industry and the economy which benefit from colonialism and the destruction of nature and make a future worth living less and less possible!”
Switch Off! The system of destruction.
Switch off the machine. Destroy the machine.
Bau, Claudia, Mauri, Angry, tortuguita and all anarchists who died in action, you walk with us on the offensive.
For anarchy, for the earth, for our lives.
Insurrectional Cell for the Maipo. New Subversion.

Solidarity against the isolation regime of the Anarchist Francisco Solar
In the framework of the international week of agitation and solidarity against the isolation regime of the anarchist comrade Francisco Solar from August 10 to 17, we carried out on the walls posters in central places of Komotini.
Recall that the comrade is accused of sending explosive packages to the 54th division of the Carabineros (Federal Police of Chile) and against the former minister of the interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter in July 2019, an action he has undertaken as ”Cómplices Sediciosos – Fracción por la Venganza” . He is also accused of the double attack on the Tánica building on February 27, 2020, an action that he has also undertaken as “by the Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta.”
For the last action, comrade Monica Caballero is also accused.

OUR ONLY HOMELAND IS REVOLT
AUTHORITY HAS EVERYONE IN A VICE GRIP.Dealing out crumbs through humiliating charity and robotised slavery. With nothing to guarantee any more, the technicians in power promise only crisis and emergency – and soon war. In the guise of defence against the rabid attacks in recent weeks they have enhanced their arsenal of social control against all of us.
MEANWHILE RACIST ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. The perpetrators target ‘immigrants’ (or whoever they classify as such) with abuse, chemical dousing, threats, beatings, fire and bricks. This is the worst kind of cowardice: kneeling in front of bosses and leaders, but leaping up to strike at anyone they fear coming from below them. Without a doubt masses of angry citizens join behind them, perhaps more hesitant to act, but no less lobotomised by fear of the outsider.
What they don’t see is that every inch of space is at the mercy of profit and control. Everyone and everything is molded in the image of an inhuman ‘progress’. The human dream of belonging and co-existence is murdered and re-animated as the zombie of imperiled nationalism.
This disgrace is encouraged by the mass conformity of addiction to politics, media and social media. It is a high-tech attention racket, churning out new things to be terrified of, or furious at – anything to keep you scrolling and clicking.
Now, after the smoke of would-be pogroms has cleared, the state continues to sing its lullaby of ‘safety’ – set in a fairytale kingdom of multicultural unity. But we know its knights in shining armour are cops, judges, screws, snitches, and tech companies selling DIY surveillance. And the unity they defend is only made up of deadly, voluntary obedience – to subhuman housing and rent, life-devouring work, and poisonous consumption.
To let ourselves be lulled by the sham product of ‘security’ comes at a high price – our own living thought and will to act: a nice deal for those with power and privilege, and shameful dispossession for the rest of us, left sitting ducks.
Enough of all that! We won’t help to decorate this exploited wasteland with flags and democratic lies. It’s time to act, face each other, face reality, choose our companions in struggle and confront what is destroying us. In the Harehills neighbourhood of Leeds, the attempt by the cops and social services to abduct several children against their will led to a night of multi-racial rebellion from the combative youth of the area. In Croydon a gathering of 50 people, against a fascist threat that came to nothing, didn’t let the moment go to waste – attacking police and barricading streets.
But we don’t need to wait for the final straw. Let’s form self-organised groups, without flags or leaders, meet, talk, identify the questions that are making our lives unliveable, starving our children, throwing us out into the streets or forcing us to live in urban destitution and humiliation. Without unions or political parties, let’s self-organise the attack on the existent with those we choose and coordinate our struggles, bringing forth quality, solidarity, joy, starting right now to create a world worth living in. Where there is dignity there is revolt!
