Who are the terrorists?

The living conditions, every day more unbearable, which are imposed on

us, rely on fear. Fear of not having a job and of not making ends meet

at the end of the month. Fear of the police, fear of prison. Because at

its foundation, the baton and its acceptance are what guarantee social

relations.

In this world upside down, terrorism is not forcing billions of human

beings to survive under unacceptable conditions; it’s not poisoning the

earth. It’s not continuing a scientific and technological research which

everyday further subjugates our lives, penetrates our bodies and

modifies nature in an irreversible way. It’s not imprisoning and

deporting human beings because they don’t have an adequate little scrap

of paper. It’s not killing and mutilating at work for the enrichment to

infinity of the bosses. All that is called economy, civilization,

democracy, progress, public order.

Politics is in reality the art of disguising facts by changing words.

Their planetary scale “war on terror” is just a propaganda weapon to

legitimize all exterior military aggression and all interior repression.

In a mirror effect, the State wants all of us to be obliged to be the

reflection of what comes out of its dirty authoritarian mouth.

Friendships, affinities and the sharing of a same idea of freedom become

an “association of malefactors in relation to a terrorist enterprise”.

The links woven within struggles become an “anarchoautonome tendency”. A

smoke-bomb becomes a bomb.

And yet, to organize yourself is not necessarily constituting an

Organization, just like a strike is not a hostage-taking. An attack

against a bank, a prison, an office of the National Employment Agency,

an election office, a detention centre, or an act of sabotage against

the circulation of trains or the machinery in a factory, is not

“terrorism”. An abyss separates those who insurge for freedom and those

who strike out randomly to defend, consolidate or conquer power, namely

the States and their competitors, the bosses, their mercenaries and

their laboratories of death.

In this social war which unfolds at work as in the street, at night as

in the day, the enemy is every individual who puts an obstacle in the

way of the radiant march of capital.

May each one, in the manner that one estimates is most adequate, oppose

the terrorism of the State and its totalitarian democracy. We will not

undergo this declaration of war with our heads down.
