On the 22nd of May 2013 three houses in Brussels, Belgium were raided by the police. Eleven anarchists were arrested. The anarchist library Acrata was searched as well by the cops. None of the arrested cooperated during the interrogation of the police. In the last years in Belgium, there were lots and lots of individual and collective attacks and revolts against the prison society we all live in.
Within the
walls of the prisons, against the prison guards and the buildings as
well as outside against the huge open-air prison with its thousands of
cameras, surveillance and transportation systems, which are only there
to transport us to work or to the temples of consumption and to watch
us. The cops, the state's henchmen, who take care of maintaining
everything the way it is. Schools, that have accustomed us to authority
since we were children. The employment office, where we get humiliated,
when we do not want to work or cannot find a job. The political parties,
which pretend to represent us, but only rule us in the end. The
deportation machine where we land, when we are not born here and do not
own a passport.
No wonder that with this development in times of
crisis and increasing general discontent, the Belgian state will proceed
against the anarchists. As they have been taking a clear position in
the social conflict for years. They have acted for the revolt, the
attack against the domination structures, the self-organisation of the
exploited, the insurrection and the social revolution.
What
distinguishes the attacks and revolts in Belgium from the uprisings in
North Africa, is what the dominants – all who profit from this system
and sustain it actively – fear. Namely, that more and more exploited,
incarcerated and undesired – so all of us who do not benefit from this
system – recognize that the beauty of life lies in the level of
disobedience, that the anger in our guts could escalate to revolt and
maybe to the insurrection against the existing order. In Belgium, here
and everywhere. To an insurrection that would bring us closer to real
freedom – freedom without authority and domination.
Solidarity with the companions in Belgium!
… to ashes!
