Comunicato filiarmonici
Apropos of the sequesters (of things and of people)
Published on the Internet, May 27 2005
As part of the latest repressive operation against anarchist comrades, on
the orders of the Rome and Bologna magistrates, the State Police has blocked
the Croce Nera Anarchica (Anarchist Black Cross) page which is hosted by the
Filiarmonici website.
We are not interested in recriminations regarding the web closure or in
expressing empty solidarity in words to the comrades trapped on this
occasion by the justice net; Filiarmonici is a site that seeks to document
just how detailed and extensive is the way in which present-day society, all
over the world and not just in Italy, has turned into a prison, and how
consequently the traditional repressive institutions, the prisons, courts,
mental hospitals, are the material foundations and the most social and
socialising moments of this prison society.
Because of this, it seemed to us fully consistent with our aims and almost
natural for us to host to an initiative like Crocenera Anarchica, whose own
aims have now been blacked out by the State Police (see
http://www.filiarmonici.org/crocenera.html) but that, surely, both on the
web and off, are well known or easily discovered in hundreds of other
places, thus making superfluous the action of those who intend to arrest
freedom by placing a veil with the badge of the republic here and there. It
was natural for Croce Nera to be given this space, as we have already
declared, and we repeat here, that we are ready to offer space to similar
initiatives against social prisons and against the prison society.
Starting with the analysis of the existence which is at the core of the
Filamornici project, we obviously don't pretend we are surprised by an
inquiry that seem to be a thinly-disguised replica of other previous similar
enquiries, which have disappeared into the void after having randomly handed
out prison sentences, confinement, and so on. This time too, we could say
the attitude is the same, based on the reasoning by which, considering that
only a few cry out that the need for revolution is urgent, actual, these few
cannot avoid dealing with those who, maybe even living in the same areas,
attempt, with more or less effectiveness, to demonstrate against oppression,
so much of which surrounds us on every side.
An organisation, at the same time totalitarian and wholly internal to the
democratic mechanisms of obligatory consensus, where the real hope is the
usual one of national proceedings.
By means of blackmail and threats, sooner or later some "repentant comrade"
will jump out to say what is needed to be said, the revolution is impossible
and the revolutionaries are only a few, and already notified and assured to
justice. From written words and from words heard in the dark, action can be
derived. The freedom of speech - and for those who see in what state the
world is, this is not surprising - is precisely an Orwellian inversion, one
of the many of the forces of law and order, the ministry of education, of
health, of civil protection, so delirious in their neo-language of
submission and passivity.
Vice versa, we reaffirm here, to confirm ourselves in that passion that
animates so many, to warn those whose who still retain a belief that such a
decomposed and pathogenic society can be saved, to express our undying
disgust for those who have chosen to dedicate what passes for their lives at
the service of reciprocal oppression, that there is no freedom of speech
which is not, in itself, subversive to any society founded on oblivion,
silence, slavishness and religious, family or national alienation.
We affirm that as long as there is one free woman or one free man, his or
her words will be, both in content and simply by its very existence,
subversive of any captive order. And as long as there is someone who speaks,
it will be to say (in many places and in hundreds of languages) this: to
forbid speech by means of closing down organs of information and prison
sentences is a sign of an impotent, dying system, so flimsy and falsified
that it cannot allow itself even the fiction of justifying itself to the
eyes of the blind.
Let free voices be heard from everywhere, let them echo everywhere, within
and outside the information networks, and let the servants hurry up and
renounce their activities as the bulwark of a lying and moribund society
where everybody is forced to be his or her own policeman, his or her
neighbour's policeman, prisoner of his or her self or his or her neighbour.
The best way to express what we feel in this moment seems to be to repeat
the motto upon which the Filiarmonici project was born and upon which it
still continues to exit: FOR A WORLD WITHOUT PRISONS.
With these simple words we met in the past with the arrested comrades.
Around these simple words we have come across many others over time, today
as yesterday. There are many, yesterday and today, who recognise themselves
in these words, going well beyond our circle of friends and acquaintances.
Never will arrests, searches or closures eliminate the idea of a world
without prisons.
