MUERTE AL ESTADO Y VIVA LA ANARQUIA!!! The return of the Durutti Brigade
About 5.000 people participated in the red and black bloc in the
demonstration of 16th March, against the european summit. There were blac
bloc groups, libertarians, CNT, squatters, many anticapitalist and radical
activists, that marched together with red and black flags and anarchist
slogans. The direct action against symbols of the state and capital (two
police stations, dozens of banks, military palace and judicial palace,
offices of authoritative trade union), the confrontations with the police
who used rubber bullets, the attacks against their squads and vans,the
barricades and the presence of thousands of people refusing to run away and
keeping on shouting all together VIVA LA ANARQUIA, POLICIA ASESINA, in all
the difficult moments the police was charging, created a revolutionary
situation, an atmosphere of fiesta and revolt, of rage and revenge for the
repression in the 15th March anticapitalist demo and for all all the
repression, arrests and tortures of our comrades who faught all over the
world, from Seattle and Prague, to Gotemburg and Genoa. It was an extremly
inspiring experience to be among thousands of people marching together in
solidarity, despite the rubber bullets flying in the air and the
helicopters above our heads. During the riots, people from the bloc that
didn4t participa It is true that civil police made arrests inside the bloc,
and that was the purpose of them being there. Many civil police who were
recognized by demonstrators were beaten and chased away. There were also
confrontations with members of the "demonstration police" who stood in
front of banks and police and tried to prevent comrades violently. In
Barcelona it was shown once more that the struggle against global
dictatorship of state and capital is not retreating by repression, it is
not sold to the reformists and to social pacification in front of the
continuous crimes of global domination. The struggle continues, confronting
the forces of the state, uncontrolled from the manipulation of those who
believe in old and new models of authority, parliaments and NGO4s, stating
that the only limit is a world without states and borders, without
exploitation and oppression. We carry a new world in our hearts, and we
make it alive through our efforts to destroy the existing hierarchical and
repressive status. We make it alive the moments we fight back, the moments
we stand together against repression, the moments that we share the
struggle for freedom with all the damned and oppressed people, all the
comrades in revolt. From the streets of Genoa to Argentina, from the
children of Indifadah to the fighting people in Bolivia, in Colombia, in
the militarized ARRIBA LOS QUE LUCHAN!!! END.
The 'wave' rolls on to Roma!
