Title: Attack! Author: Sasha G. Date: 2021 Language: en Topics: insurrectionary, insurrection, eco-anarchy, green anarchism
In the last year and a half, we have witnessed an explosion in the class
consciousness, in the revolutionary consciousness, in the will to
action, not for actions sake but for the sake of forcing the system to
reckon with the enemy it has created. In that time, the author has come
to their own reckoning with ideology, moving from the generalized
anarchist thought of unionization and mass organization to the
insurrectionist thought of individual action, of small, mobile, and
dangerous revolutionary bands wreaking havoc wherever it may be wrought,
working together to continue to build those systems of dual power, and
creating the liberated world which we all so desire. In this time of
monsters, nothing has been made clear but that every oppressed person,
be they Colonized, Queer, houseless, working or non-working, or any mix
thereof, must become a hunter of monsters.
One of the key points of Insurrectionary Anarchism is to attack, always
to attack. Never go on the defensive, never be the ones on the retreat.
Always be a threat to the systems of Capital, of the State. If that
means doing mutual aid now, and building those systems of support
alongside other anarchists and those communists with whom we build
coalition, then so be it, but we must face the reckoning that this
system is clamping down hard. Fascism has never stopped marching forward
into the past, it has never given second thought to reigning terror upon
the people, to placing upon our throats the jackboots which it has used
to stamp out so many others.
If you claim to be an insurrectionary anarchist, now is the time to stop
using pretty words and to get to work, for the work that is ahead of you
and I and the rest of those who seek liberation is much and heavy.
Sabotage a railway, burn down a courthouse, shoot the policeman, bomb
the politician, do all you can imagine to put this system on the
backfoot. They will clamp down irregardless; it is now a matter of whom
they will clamp down upon first. We know fully well who that will be.
It will be the Colonized comrade, it will be the climate activist, it
will be the communist and the anarchist to whom they turn their wrath to
first and foremost. Once they are through with us, though that will
never be fully achieved, they will turned to their old mainstay targets:
immigrant communities, Colonized neighborhoods, the whole of the working
and non-working classes. These crack downs will not be mutually
exclusive, and they will likely happen simultaneously so as to turn
sentiment against us, so we must prepare our leaflets and our materials
to make clear why they are truly cracking down. As they do this, the
world will continue to turn.
It is the job of the revolutionary to make their world stop turning. It
is the goal, in fact, to make the world stop turning. How else are we to
claim our views and beliefs if we cannot even achieve something so
simple as that? They with their myriad armed forces, from the police who
act as an always activated gendarmerie, to their National Guard and
Reserves, to their Active units, they hold all of the power to end the
world, but not to stop it turning. That is the job of the revolutionary.
Do not let them know a moments peace, as they carry out their lans to
build their fascist dystopia. Do not give them the ability to rest upon
their laurels as they consolidate their power. Make them fear sleeping
in their own beds, make them fear walking in broad daylight. Attack
attack attack, that is the only way to win, to show people that you do
not speak of revolution only in lofty, heady terms. That is the only
way, now, to show the people that you are as dangerous as a cyanide pill
to any system which holds even one person in bondage. Be the
destabilizing force which rocks the boat from its moorings, and attack.
We have seen the power of insurrection demonstrated through the actions
of the last year and a half. Among our numbers we can count many
comrades who now face the consequences for it: disappearances, jail
sentences, fears of surveillance, trials which go on into infinity meant
to wear them down into accepting plea “bargains,” even death. Attack for
these comrades whom we have lost. Strike for them at all the extremities
of Capital and the State.
We have seen entire forests burn to the ground in that time, all the
while the Politicians and the Capitalists line their pockets with the
blood money which they used as tinder to start those very same fires.
Attack for those forests, for the creatures within them, for our dying
planet. Whether you recognize a tree or an animal as equal to you or
not, they, too, are suffering under this system, and we need them in
order for our species to continue on.
We have seen the rapid expansion of the concentration camps, accelerated
yet faster under the Biden administration even as a plague ravages the
world and threatens those most vulnerable among us. Attack for those
within them, burn their prison vehicles, cut open their fences, kill
their guards, and free the people trapped inside.
Hurry now, comrades, for there is no time to waste. We surely are in the
final hour when such actions may happen, and it is now our duty to
ensure that they will continue to happen. We must prove the efficacy of
our program. Expropriate the food from the stores, and give it to the
People. Shoot the officer who tries to stop you. Break open the bank
vaults and shoves masses of cash into peoples mailboxes. Climb the light
posts and spray paint black their camera lenses, do not let them spy
upon the People.
In you hands is the sword with which you must cleave apart an unjust
order, do not hesitate to do so. In your back pocket is the pistol that
you must use to incapacitate the officer before you, do not hesitate to
shoot them. In you right hand is the bomb which you must throw
underneath the railway lines they use to move their armies to and fro,
do not hesitate to light the fuse. In you heart is the free person
caged, yearning for the day that they can say that they have truly been
freed of all of modern life’s horrid conditions, do not hesitate to free
them.
Every moment that we sit upon our laurels, the enemy gains another
soldier. Every second which ticks upon the clock, another person is
killed or thrown into the jails or the camps. For every one of them,
however, there are thousands of different people who have been crushed
under the heel for far too long, who have seen their friends, their
families, their neighborhoods ripped to shreds by as system that cares
not if you follow the law, only if your very existence is an illegality.
Now it is the time to show them that they, too, can stand up and fight
back.
Build what you can in the meantime with what materials you have, but do
not allow the State and those it protects even a moments rest. A tired
enemy is far easier to topple than one full of energy and raring to
fight. Build the momentum to break through that object to seems at the
present moment most immovable, and slow down not one bit once you are
through it. Allow nothing which may oppress the people to be built upon
the old orders ashes. Attack attack attack.
