Berlin,Germany : Burning of Siemens car in solidarity responded to the call for days of action in memory of Kyriakos X and in solidarity with those persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case

Posted on by ellipsism
On the morning of December 31, 2024, we responded to the call for days of action in memory of Kyriakos X and in solidarity with those persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case and destroyed a Siemens vehicle in Berlin-Baumschulenweg with a time-delayed incendiary device. Unfortunately, other vehicles also caught fire in the course of this, which is regrettable.

Siemens has been trying to improve its image in recent years. Withdrawing from some of its armaments sectors and investing in the renewable energy sector was intended to give the company a clean, green and politically correct face.

While food prices around the world, especially in the Global South, have risen by more than one hundred percent in recent years, wages, including those paid by Siemens, have remained the same.
In fiscal year 2024, Siemens achieved a historic high in profit.

The Mobility and Smart Infrastructure sectors in particular contributed to this growth. These sectors are investing massively in Israel’s public infrastructure in occupied Palestine.

While Israel continues to bomb in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, Siemens is profiting directly from the genocide and oppression of the Palestinian population.
For example, Israel uses Siemens security systems in the notorious Gilboa prison, and traffic control systems are installed in the West Bank – on roads that only Israeli citizens are allowed to use.

The intercontinental Euro-Asia submarine cable project is intended to bring the Israeli apartheid state even closer to Europe and its Western allies.

Siemens is therefore a piece in the geopolitical mosaic of Western domination. While states assert their influence by force, companies like Siemens stand ready to establish it and profit from the suffering of others.

Like many people in solidarity before us, all over the world, we want to show solidarity with the persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case with this attack and continue the commemoration of the fallen comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris.

We support and continue the struggles of the comrades and act in resistance against the dominant conditions.
Greek and German cops are working hand in hand to imprison our comrades, to persecute them and to paint a picture of what they call terror.
It is the violence of those in power that is terrorist and not the resistance against it.

In thoughts side by side with Kyriakos, with rage against the murderous wars of capitalism and in solidarity with the imprisoned and oppressed of this world.

Greece: Arson Attack on Post Office Vans for Comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

Posted on by ellipsism

We take responsibility for the arson of three ELTA [Hellenic post] vans in Kallithea at dawn 13/12.

It’s been a long road to get here.Very long brother.The handcuffs were weighing on the hands.In the evenings when the little globe shook his head saying “the time has passed”.We read the history of the world in first names, in some dates carved with the nail on the walls of prisons, in some childish drawings of the dying people-a heart, a bow, a ship that definitely tore time.In some verses that were left in the middle to finish them, in some lyrics that ended so that we do not finish.It was a long road to this point-difficult road.Now this road is yours.You hold it as you hold your friend’s hand and measure the pulse of the pan in this mark left by the handcuffs.Normal pulse-Sure hand-Sure road.

G.Ritsos

On 31/10, an explosive mechanism exploded in an apartment on Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi, causing anarchist Comrade Kyriakos Ximiris to lose his life and injuring anarchist Comrade Marianna M. The following days were followed by a media show, usual by Greek standards, which showed the way for what would follow from the anti-terrorist and power in general. The state as a whole, with the cooperation of cops, media and judges, presents the much-played scenarios of the revival of domestic terrorism, enriching them, so as not to get bored with the rush it watches, with the characterization “third generation of terrorism”.

In our part, we do not initially accept the term terrorism in terms of the city’s guerrilla and general political antibody. For us, terrorism is living below the poverty line, expensive rents, exorbitant bills, gentrification and redevelopment, cop rule, non-functioning trains and guns that fire in the air.

Secondly, the guerrilla city is not divided into generations. Organized political counterviolence has lived in history for hundreds of years and flourishes or declines depending on social conditions. The violent struggle will continue until the collapse of capitalism and power.

The state sees this repressive operation as an opportunity to launch an all-out attack on the anarchist movement and all struggling subjects to end once and for all its internal enemy. The events of Ampelokipoi should build consciousness in all revolutionary subjects and create new insurrectionary events and bring radical action back to the forefront. The death of our comrade inspires and makes us grit our teeth, turn the pain of loss into rage and attack by all means the state and its lackeys.

We take responsibility for the arson of three ELTA vans in Kallithea at dawn 13/12.

We dedicate our action to comrade KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS who will always be here in every aspect of the anarchist struggle.

Solidarity with all comrades in custody for the case of Ampelokipi

We wish comrade Marianna a speedy recovery

We send incendiary signals to comrade K.K. who has been remanded in custody and is being prosecuted for attacking a police vehicle with an incendiary device

GREECE : FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

Posted on by ellipsism
FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

Comrades and friends,

The Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Revolutionaries was “born” 14 years ago from within the ranks of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement. From then until today the Fund has had an uninterrupted and diverse presence in the history of the movement in Greece. From the open, nationwide assembly of the structure, dozens of comrades have passed through and actively participated, while today the Fund consists of two sub-assemblies, in Athens and Thessaloniki. Throughout these years, the structure of the Fund has provided material support to dozens of political prisoners and persecuted revolutionaries. And it has managed to do this continuously and on a monthly basis. In addition to the financial support to the prisoners, captives of the social/class war, the structure attempts to support politically the comrades who are inside the walls, with events all over Greece, solidarity actions, presence in the adjacent courts.

As a Solidarity Fund we are made of the flesh of the radical movement. The people who participate in its assemblies come from it and act politically within it. The resources of the structure are resources that come from the practical solidarity of our political milieu ( in Greece and abroad) with prisoners. Through our publications, our events of all kinds, we try to raise the necessary funds for the monthly financial support of our incarcerated comrades. At the same time, a significant part of the material support comes from contributions from groups, collectives, individuals within and outside Greece. The structure is, in this way, another link between the movement and political prisoners, one of the “bodies” that the movement itself has created as another constant point of reference for the multifaceted solidarity it has shown towards them over time.

This is what we want to “remind” and with this open call for the support of the fund, this long-standing and unmediated aspect of supporting the structure and political prisoners we want to strengthen as much as possible. For some time now, increasingly authoritarian state policies regarding public spaces and universities have been attempting to suffocate public financial support events, with the financial exhaustion of the movement and its people being a strategic choice. The people in the social struggle are resisting with all their strength against this condition imposed by the state and continue to find the space they themsleves have conquered since decades, but the pressure, difficulty and uncertainty remain. And they obviously concern the structure of the Fund. At the same time, the intensity of the repression, the harsh, anachronistic, counter-revolutionary and class-oriented penal and penitentiary codes attempt, as far as political persecution is concerned, to terrorize and imprison revolutionaries, or to prolong the incarceration period for those that are still inside the walls of the prison.

This call is written a few days after the tragic loss of our anarchist revolutionary and comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, after the explosion of a device in Ampelokipi, Athens. The bloodthirsty state mechanisms and their mouthpieces are engaged in a campaign of targeting and terrorizing revolutionaries that has already led 5 people to prison and is in the process of announcing more to come. It is obvious that in the immediate foreseeable future the needs for political, moral and financial support for persecuted and imprisoned militants will become particularly great. And the radical movement must stand up and fight against this prospect. The Fund will, de facto, be one of those structures that will attempt to rise to these difficult circumstances and continue to support political prisoners on a steady monthly basis. We believe that these circumstances require even greater support for the Fund structure from individuals and groups, in Greece and abroad.

Our wish and the purpose of this call is to mobilise as many people as possible and, individually or through collectives, to support the Fund financially by creating as stable and direct a relationship with the structure as possible. Each and every one, individually or collectively, to stand in solidarity – and in this way – in the struggle for political and material support for our captive comrades. Let us succeed in making the cause of practical solidarity and the necessary financial support for political prisoners a cause for as many people as possible, a cause for all of us. We call on all to contact the Solidarity Fund, to participate in its open assemblies, to support it – directly and unmediated – financially.

At a time when the repression and the state’s attack on the structures and people struggling against the injustice and barbarity of the capitalist world is becoming more intense, we can once again highlight solidarity as one of the mounds that will stand up to domination, now and in the future.

We support political prisoners Materially- Morally- Politically

Solidarity- Comradeship- Struggle against state and capital.

Berlin, Germany: Arson Attack Against the Concrete Industry & in Solidarity with Imprisoned Comrades

Posted on by ellipsism

[Berlin] Switch Off The Concrete Industry! 

The flames once again lit up the dark and cold nights of Berlin. On the morning of December 2, all that was left of the machines and vehicles of concrete giants Cemex and HeidelbergMaterials was rubble and ash. This is not the first time that these companies have come under well-deserved attack. In the winter of 2023/24, several trucks and a conveyor belt from Cemex were completely destroyed by fire and several trucks from HeidelbergMaterials, which were used to transport concrete for the A100 highway, were burned down. The two claims of responsibility called out both companies for their roles in colonialist land destroying projects. Now there has been a further blow to the concrete industry.

It is not necessary to explain why these two companies were targeted again. We understand this act as the continuity of a series of attacks on concrete giants around the world, as an offensive against those responsible for the ecocide that is already a reality in many territories. These companies actively participate in neo-colonial politics and profit from war, exploitation and genocide in the countries where they are present.

Concrete plays an important role in today’s world. Countless metropolises have been built that resemble cages for people, in which one breathes only exhaust fumes and misery. They are places of alienation where it is no longer possible to see the awe-inspiring beauty of wild nature and where faceless towers block out the sunlight as human idiocy tries to scratch the sky by erecting ever higher buildings. But they forget that there will always be a little plant that finds a crack in the concrete to take root and grow. This color in the dreary gray is living proof that wild nature can resist the oppressive concrete. Just as, fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, there are people everywhere who want to destroy their world of concrete. It inspires and brings a smile to our faces every time we hear that elsewhere, companies that devastate the earth are met with anger and fire.

Or as the comrades from the “Insurgent Cell for the Maipo/New Subversion” from Chile wrote: “Let this fire be an embrace for the comrades who have carried out attacks in other territories of the world […] because we know that the attack must be immediate and in all the territories where the facilities and means of those responsible for the destruction of the planet are located. In this way, we contribute to dialogue through direct and confrontational action, without any false hope in institutional processes or saviors.”

May the heat of the fire warm the hearts of Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris and Nikos, who are locked up in Korydallos prison in Athens.

Revolutionary memory of the comrade Kyriakos and all those who died fighting.

Freedom and happiness for Nanuk, Maja, Hanna and all the other imprisoned comrades and to all those in hiding in the vastness of nowhere.

Greece: Protesters and Anarchists Clash with Police During the March for Alexandros Grigoropoulos

Posted on by ellipsism

On Friday in Athens, as every year since 2008, a march in memory of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a teenager shot dead by police, was organised at the call of left-wing groups, trade unions and civic organisations. During the commemoration of the 16th anniversary of his death, clashes broke out between police forces and protesters in the center of Athens. Protesters and anarchists threw Molotov cocktails at riot police units, erected barricades and threw a few stones, with police responding with tear gas and stun grenades. More than 5,000 police officers were deployed, 36 people were arrested as part of preventive checks before the rally and dozens of demonstrators were arrested during the evening. Similar incidents occurred in Thessaloniki.

Call for a Week of Agitation by Marcelo Villarroel — Chile

Posted on by ellipsism

Call for internationalist solidarity for the Release to the Streets of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, an anti-authoritarian prisoner in the Chilean prisons still held captive by the military laws of Pinochet.

Week of Agitation from December 9 to 16, 2024.

– From the Marcelo Villarroel Anti-Prison Solidarity Network to the street RSAMVALK in Chile together with a group of Like-Minded Individuals in different places and territories of the planet, we make this call that seeks to maintain the visibility of a very serious legal-political situation very serious since it expresses all the hatred and vengeance of the power that, above its own legality, keeps our brother and comrade who, since December 2023, should already be on the streets for having fully served the 14-year sentence that was imposed for two bank robberies that occurred in 2007.

Let’s remember that Marcelo was arrested in Argentine territory on 15 March 2008 and expelled to Chile on December 15, 2009, and
from then until today, his captivity has been maintained under the pretext of having to serve the sentences for which he spent another period in prison between 1992 and 2005 when he was granted parole.

“The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which is specifically a life sentence” covered, is sustained in the most rotten filth of the legacies dictatorial: the putrid Military Justice of Pinochet still in 2024. Something that seemed unthinkable 51 years after the military coup and the beginning of the civic-military dictatorship.”

Today’s call is to put everyone’s efforts and emphasis on each one to put an end to one of the most abhorrent situations from the legal-political situation that affects one of our own.

A comrade who is part of that list of siblings who in different territories of the planet have had to pay with long decades of imprisonment their decision to fight with arms in hand against the nefarious social order imposed by the ruling class, never renouncing their ties and convictions rooted in the multifaceted anti-authoritarian spectrum, subversive anarchic that unites him in different languages but with the same language of war against the world of power, hierarchies, and all authority.

We urgently call to express and mobilize all wills and initiatives to bring our brother to the streets and thereby end the nefarious legal legacy of the late Pinochet that is still in force in Chilean society.

May all Active Minds be able to express gestures wherever they find themselves for the achievement of this longed-for objective.

For the annulment of the sentences of Pinochet’s military justice Marcelo Villarroel on the streets now!!

As long as there is misery, there will be rebellion!!

Revolutionary anti-authoritarian prisoners of all tendencies to the street!!

– Late November 2024 – different territories.
-Affiliated Individuals
Marcelo Villarroel Anti-Prison Solidarity Network to the streets!!

Toulouse, France: Solidarity fire with Kyriakos Ximitiris and the prosecuted anarchists after the explosion in the apartment in Ampelokipi

Posted on by ellipsism

In response to the call from the “assembly of solidarity with the imprisoned, fugitive and persecuted fighters” in Athens, on the night of November 17 to 18, 2024, a fire was set to an MT Energies vehicle, a photovoltaic solar panel company. (mtenergiefrance.com).

Whether in France, Greece, or elsewhere, green capitalism allows civilization to consume ever more resources, territories, and lives. Let’s burn it.
Without sharing the revolutionary ideas of Kyriakos Ximitiris and part of his entourage, the hatred against what oppresses us is shared.

Solidarity with Marianna, Dimitra, and Nikos Romanos! Strength to you

Kyriakos Ximitiris, may your fire always burn.
