The reaction in Italy: Message in the barrel about operation Sibilla and much more by Anarchist Michele Fabiani

M. Bakunin, The Reaction in Germany

Nothing will be the same as before, for you [Green Pass, Italy]

Italy. «I’d like to point out that in all the most serious cases the institutions have proved to be compact: magistrates, prefects, police and all the other forces intervened without hesitation making the face of the State even more determined before the delinquent acts that were being carried out». The words which former Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede used in parliament to claim the March 2020 massacre in Italian jails can be actually applied to everything that has happened over the past two years.

Millions of people were finally able to observe the true face of the State. First they locked us in our homes for three months, then it was the turn of night curfew, of regional closures, of so-called semi-lockdown (when we could go out of our homes, yes, but only to go to work). Finally we arrived at the so much awaited «restart».

Italy: A few thoughts on the “No Green Pass” street protests

Italy. Over the past month the need for discussion with comrades from other countries has intensified; exchanges with like-minded people also across borders is revealing itself to be fundamental for having a broader perception of what is going on. Even if we cannot get an exact overview from these discussions, they certainly help us to look beyond our own small surroundings. They are often purely individual evaluations or those of small collectives.

Italy: Against the state and its massacres -Anarchist comizi in the streets of Trieste – Autumn 2020

Trieste. Italy. Translator’s note. Against the State. Well? For an anarchist these words are clear and simple, a prerequisite of anarchy you might say.
