Just as direct action, solidarity is a crucial stake in an anti-authoritarian perspective, for the present times and for
the times to come. This solidarity cannot only focus on
the particular repressive blow, but means to continue to
carry forward, in words and deeds, the subversive ideas
and practices in which we are for sure not the only ones
to recognize us in them. This could be a starting point to
propagate this complete set in the social conflictuality.
Seen in this way, the question of solidarity cannot be
solved by stringing political alliances that are counter-nature and totally counterproductive for questioning
the existing social relations; neither by trying to attract
the attention of an illusionary “public opinion” that is
by definition a spectator. The question is rather to find
fruitful accomplices in the space opened by a continuity
of struggles without mediation. Inserting the question
of solidarity in our own perspectives is one of the trav-

el luggages in the fight against domination. To preserve
this continuity doesn’t mean to jealously wanting to preserve it for a small between us as to boast about it, but
allows on the contrary to carry it as a proposal to transform reality instead of adapting to it.
If the relation to police and juridical repression is but
one aspect of the struggle, it is sadly enough quite often also the aspect that reveals ambiguities and lacks of
more profound perspectives. To bring clarity in our ideas, in the why and how of the battles we want to fight,
of the struggles and methods we are proposing (with all
its implications) is therefore more than ever necessary.
In the end, it is the ordinary question of the goals and
the means, a question one urgently has to confront in all
moments of conflict against power.
