A recurring notion to combat is the idea of set-ups,
which for some is usually the first defensive discourse
(almost as a wildcard) when facing repression. This
idea is often accompanied by the idea of ​​the innocent
victim and the “right to demonstrate”.
Contrary to the above, the anarchist insurrectionary
position and years of experience in this and other
areas, suggests that it is possible to maintain revolutionary coherence and to reject the charges and
accusations imposed by the power, without assuming
or validating the logic of guilty and innocent, specific
to the judicial language and mechanisms created by
the powerful.
Also, it is important to combat the idea of set-ups inspired by the stupid belief that every attack always
comes from the police. Of course, repression often
planted evidence against those who it wants to harm.
But it is something else to discard the idea that individuals freely, consciously and autonomously decide to
organize, plan and carry out attacks against authority
and its normality.
Our position is not one of young students or “social activists” struggling with clean hands and demonstrating
peacefully. We position ourselves as declared enemies
of all forms of authority, willing to organize to make
Molotov cocktails, erect barricades and attack police
while covering our faces to avoid being detected by the
eyes of repression.

3. To not stop the actions
This is a moment to take advantage to strengthen us as
individuals and as groups of anarchist action.
The time is propitious to deepen our critique of the social order as a whole, to develop in practice the rejection
of norms and of comfort, repentance and victimization
offered by society.
It is important today to defend street fighting in spaces
of struggle gained by decades of insurrectionary practices as well as to connect them with other practices of
revolt in other areas, as understood and implemented by
companions who, a few days ago, erected barricades in
different parts of the city.
Without lowering our guard, lets minimize risks and oppose neglect. Let us keep in mind that the continuation
and proliferation of autonomous action, in our ability to
project it in time and to enable creativity, lies in the potential of diffuse and informal attack, to be a threat to
the power and to not be predictable to the enemy.
Subvert the fear, silence and immobility that power tries to
impose in order to curb the breakthrough of insurrection.
Lets sharpen words and actions.
Solidarity with the prisoners arrested for street clashes
and with all companions taken hostage by the power.
