COMMUNIQUE CLAIMING THE PARCEL BOMB AGAINST ALESSANDRO PROFUMO
“The horrors of war move sensitive souls. Instead, we are reminded that it is injustice that dominates this world. The mangled bodies are always those of the poor people, it’s never a rich man to die, to lose a hand.
We don’t think we can compete with the violence of the State, your capacity for destruction and death is unparalleled. In recent years you have shown that in Syria, in Iraq, today in Ukraine and we saw it with the torture and massacre in the Italian prisons in March 2020. We have not forgotten nor forgiven.
We cannot compete with your violence and we probably don’t even have the guts. Instead we believe in the need for revolutionary violence, in action that opens glimpses of freedom. We believe in the contagion of ideas that pass through actions.
Once again the Informal Anarchist Federation is becoming an instrument for revolutionary communication and the propagation of anarchist action. An instrument that all the comrades can adhere to, putting their own signature to FAI-FRI acronym, putting ourselves in communication without the dangers that come from direct knowledge. An instrument with which we can express ourselves, also dialogue and confront each other, in the knowledge that one is talking with comrades who have put their lives and therefore their freedom at risk. When the words are too many and the deeds that follow are few, it is up to us to invert this tendency.
We have carried a small reminder of violence to the house of one who does his business with the violence of the State.
We sent the parcel bomb that arrived on June 27 in Rome to Alessandro Profumo, CEO of Leonardo S.p.A, the State company that produces weapons and state of the art technological devices. Collectionist and boardroom climber, great pimp of the universities, Profumo is one of those we are not likely to see bleeding from the wars he enriches himself with. Leonardo has done business with both Russia and Ukraine, his shares are soaring on the stock exchange and the Italian government is promising a shower of billions thanks to the rearmament race imposed by NATO. To their capital corresponds always and only our suffering and sacrifices.
Do you smell the perfume of rage? We are coming to return a little of your terror to you, bastard! Leonardo is at the forefront of technological research and development in Europe, praised on various occasions for results obtained in the field of aerospace engineering for example. The coincidence does not surprise us, war and technical innovation having always been interconnected.
It is with technology that they are ruining our life, that they are spying on us, driving us into misery. It is with developments in techno-science that they are aiming to redesign the social fabric, making war possible. Let’s strike those responsible.
Let’s call for an international campaign of action against the oligarchs who are enriching themselves with war, the energy and techno-scientific sector and the industrial bosses. Each with the means they prefer, exposing their reasons or letting the deeds speak for themselves.
We dedicate this action to Alfredo Cospito: take our comrade out of 41 bis or you will have to start cleaning up the jailers’ blood.
No resignation, no truce, no peace. For international fraternity and revolutionary action.“
Brigata Augusto Masetti Federazione Anarchica Informale – Fronte Rivoluzionario Internazionale (Augusto Masetti Informal Anarchist Brigade – International Revolutionary Front)

TOTW: Death of the family
By thecollective
An overly generous doomsday narrative is circulating in popular media: the nuclear family is on its way out. While I’m not so optimistic, fewer people are getting married and “intentional childlessness” is a more defensible position than in previous decades.

Reflections on Anarchist Tendencies and Mutualist History
By thecollective
From Libertarian Labyrinth by Shawn P. Wilbur
What follows is a long Twitter thread, originally intended for the audience there as a response to certain criticisms of the historical account developed by myself and others regarding mutualism. It’s a mix of reflections on our search for the perhaps ultimately illusory core of “the mutualism tradition” and thoughts on how to apply the lessons learned in the course of that exploration.

Sugako – Advance 2021
By thecollective
The lyrics are concerned with the name sake of the group, Kanno Sugako, a Japanese anarchist journalist interested in the liberation of women and humanity as a whole. She was executed by hanging on January 25, 1911 by the Japanese government due to her connections to the High Treason Incident, a plot by a group of socialists and anarchist to assassinate the Emperor Meiji. 26 people were arrested of which twelve were hanged to death despite the lack of direct evidence. Two more were sentenced to eight and eleven years of prison respectively and the remaining twelve were sentenced to life imprisonment. Sugako was the last person to be killed.

Beneath the Concrete, the Forest

Accounts from the Defense of the Atlanta Forest
In Atlanta, Georgia, the city government intends to destroy large swaths of what remains of the South River Forest—also known by the Muskogee name for the river, Weelaunee. In place of one stretch of woods, they aim to build a police training compound; they have sold the neighboring part to Blackhall Studios executive Ryan Millsap, who intends to build a giant soundstage. Yet for more than a year now, activists have protected the forest against their plans.

They talk about repression by the New Democracy party, struggles against green washing wind turbines around rural Greece, the fires raging through the country, resistance to rape culture, fighting against the building of a metro station in Exarchia and the privatization of public spaces like Strefi Hill, police presence at Universities, anarcho-tourism and the hunger strike of anarchist prisoner Giannis Michialidas.

Daniel Guérin Showed Us What a Socialist Writer Should Be
By thecollective
From Jacobin by Ian Birchall
French socialist thinker Daniel Guérin lived a life of extraordinary political commitment, from anti-fascist and anti-colonial struggles to his pioneering advocacy of gay liberation. Guérin’s writings and record should be a touchstone for the modern left.

Running Down the Walls 5K
By thecollective
From Anarchist Black Cross Federation
Since 1999, prisoners and supporters throughout North America have participated in the annual event known as Running Down the Walls (RDTW) often running or walking simultaneously in many cities and prisons at once. This is a 5k non-competitive run/jog/walk/roll in order to raise awareness and funds for political prisoners currently held in North American prisons. Over the years, we have raised thousands of dollars and lots of awareness around the struggle to free political prisoners. Many places will be hosting RDTW 2022 on either September 11th or 18th – stay tuned to our blog for more details from all of the locations participating this year!
