On Wednesday, September 10, the “Bloquons Tout” movement called for 360,000 people to participate in protests, at least 150 schools were blocked, and thousands of blockades and acts of sabotage occurred across the country, according to estimates from several participating organizations.

With more than 80,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilized during the day (see our article) and widespread use of drones, the repression was extremely brutal, with at least 473 detained and 339 people in custody, according to the Ministry of the Interior.

To demand their immediate release, numerous support demonstrations were organized in front of police stations during the night.

In Toulouse, hundreds of people gathered, but the police launched tear gas against those present and made at least one more arrest.

The natives are getting restless
on September 11, 2025 by winter oak

by Paul Cudenec (who reads the article here)

It’s always an inconvenience for an occupying colonial force when “the natives are getting restless”.

They tut-tut with irritation as the less-than-human riff-raff come together to demand an end to their exploitation and debasement under the imperial jackboot.

The colonisers order their Imperial Propaganda Machine to smear and condemn the trouble-makers and to frighten the population away from joining them with threats of institutional violence.

And when, despite all that, the repressed people still venture out on to the streets to reclaim their freedom and their future, how do the colonisers respond?

Do they listen to these heart-felt grievances, promise to modify their policies, if only to see off the threat of a popular uprising?

No, of course not, because the whole purpose of their occupation is an never-ending dispossession of the colonised people and the expropriation of their natural resources.

Milan: 50 thousand march for Leoncavallo and Occupied Social spaces

Info from.. Freedom News, Sep 6th~ Cristina Sykes ~ vía thefreeonline – t.me/thefreeonline/4141

The demo mushroomed into a multitude – demanding the survival of Occupied and Self-managed spaces.

The mobilisation began at midday at Stazione Centrale, with several thousand moving towards Porta Venezia.

Early actions included a transfeminist bloc entering the “Pirellino” construction site owned by real estate giant Coima, denouncing luxury housing projects.

Activists unfurled a banner reading: “Whose city do you think this is? Against the bosses’ city.”

By afternoon, the march swelled to tens of thousands.

From the lead truck, banners proclaimed “Hands off the city” and “Leoncavallo: 50 more years.”

The “Antifascist Mothers of Leoncavallo” marched at the front, followed by collectives from Rome, Nápoles and the North-East.

Chants echoed in the streets and smoke flares were seen as the march pressed on towards the city centre.

Police initially blocked access to Piazza Duomo in full riot gear.

But confronted with the sheer numbers, they retreated, and the crowd surged into the square.

“The Red League was born against speculation 50 years ago”, one speaker told Radio Onda d’Urto.

“Today we face the same enemies—greedy developers and a repressive state”.

The day was punctuated by interventions from trade unionists, Palestinian organisers and comrades from social centres nationwide.

A statement from the occupied social centre Lambretta declared:

“Leoncavallo is untouchable. We are the city against the bosses, against the politics of securitarian control, against speculation and evictions. Milan will not be sold—it will be defended”.

Sept 10 Strike: France to be paralyzed – Macron Dictator to Fall?

… Here’s what you need to know before going out in ‘Gay Paree!…GENERAL STRIKE

Info vía Bénédicte Vicent • Sept 9 ’25 vía thefreeonline https://t.me/thefreeonline/4128

*Anarchist subversives threaten corrupt rulers*

On Sept 10, all France is likely to be paralyzed by a massive strike against State repression…

Heavy Battles are sure to break out as far-right police attack MILLIONS of us with tear gas, baton charges, water cannons, and extreme sadistic violence.

Yesterday the minority Prime Minister, appointed by King Macron after his supported Party LOST the last election, was finally kicked out.

General agreement, left and right…. Little King Macron, whose arrogant posturing and contempt for workers and social services has dumped France in the manure heap, MUST FINALLY GET LOST.

Yellow jackets call for Direct Actions in every suburb

From this Wednesday, September 10, you’re likely to find it very difficult to get around…

A huge call for a general strike was launched a few weeks ago, with the aim of “blocking everything”: schools, hospitals, roads, trains, metro, airports… everything is likely to be frozen.

Power to the people!

A strong sign of protest against cutbacks to pay for Wars and feed the rich. Here’s the latest news…

For the moment, no official announcement from RATP. According to Le Parisien, we know that the four main unions are calling for a massive demonstration on September 18.

Evil terrorists provoke CHAOS

La Base, the majority union among RER drivers, is calling for strike action “in all possible forms”. These groups would represent 90% of RATP staff…

Macron’s authoritarianism sparks uprising 3 July 2023

Free Ruslan Sidiki- an Italian activist who got 29 years for anti-war Sabotage in Russia

✊ Fundraising and Support for anarchist Ruslan Sidiki

by Moscow ABC https://t.me/abc_moscow_en/40 thefreeonline https://t.me/thefreeonline/4106

On May 23, anarchist Ruslan Sidiki was sentenced to a record-breaking 29 years in prison.

He received this sentence for two acts of sabotage against military infrastructure: blowing up a railway track and carrying out a drone attack on an airfield. No one was hurt.

Ruslan carefully planned the actions to avoid casualties. As a result of the airfield attack, the runway was damaged, and the controlled explosion on the railway tracks caused the derailment of 19 freight train wagons.

Despite the absence of any casualties, Ruslan was sentenced to 29 years in prison!

This is unthinkable in a country where murder usually carries a sentence of around 10 years.

Under such conditions, there’s no hope for justice—but Ruslan is an Italian citizen, so there is a chance for a prisoner exchange.

Ruslan’s lawyer also filed a petition to have him recognized as a prisoner of war (under the Geneva Conventions,.members of resistance movements can also be granted POW status), to increase the chances of such an exchange.
When Ruslan was detained, he was brutally tortured (source), and later threatened with more torture.

When Ruslan was detained, he was brutally tortured (source), and later threatened with more torture.

That is yet another reason why we believe it is essential to provide him with legal support.

We are raising 210,000 rubles to pay for a lawyer’s work for three months.

This includes filing an appeal, visiting Ruslan, and other necessary legal actions.

Malatesta: Joyful Warrior of Pragmatic Anarchism

6th Sept 25. vía thefreeonline at t.me/thefreeonline/4100

Malatesta 1853-1932 anarchist
Errico Malatesta was an Italian anarchist propagandist, theorist and revolutionary socialist. He edited several radical newspapers and spent much of his life exiled and imprisoned, having been jailed and expelled from Italy, Britain, France, and Switzerland. Wikipedia

Errico Malatesta’s anarchism can be described as “pragmatic” because he emphasized practical, realistic approaches to achieving anarchist goals, including working within existing labor organizations to transform them into tools for attack, agitating from outside and against government, and recognizing the long-term nature of societal transformation.

His focus was not just on an ultimate stateless society but on the continuous struggle to empower the people and reduce government’s harmful power, a commitment evident in his sustained activism and editing of anarchist publications.

Key Aspects of Malatesta’s Pragmatic Anarchism:

Engagement with Existing Organizations:
Malatesta advocated for anarchists to remain within organizations like trade unions, not to gain power, but to push them towards revolutionary goals and transform them from defensive to offensive tools.

Anti-Government Agitation:

He stressed that anarchists must always operate from outside and against government, using street agitation to pressure authorities and achieve demands, rather than seeking legislative positions.

Focus on the People:

A core tenet of his pragmatism was to always be with the people, encouraging them to demand more, to understand their own power, and to reject any form of government or authority.

Propaganda by the Deed

Errico was a leading advocate of “propaganda of the deed,” the doctrine urged largely by Italian anarchists that revolutionary ideas could best be spread by armed insurrection, and joined a successful farmers uprising when still a teenager.
