SANTIAGO, $HILE: CLAIM OF INCENDIARY EXIT FOR THE PACO DAY1 AT THE UNIVERSIDAD ACADEMIA DE HUMANISMO CRISTIANO AND INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR A BLACK MAY.
On Thursday April 27 as affinities we broke into the normal functioning of the university citizenship of the UAHC to celebrate the day of the paco in the way we like the most: with street violence. We set up a barricade of debris to interrupt the Condell traffic and thus invoke the bastards to fight them with Molotov cocktails. While we waited, we set fire to the electricity pole of a surveillance camera located at Obispo Salas and Condell. In this context, the response of the ratis2 was not long in coming; helmets, shotguns, bullet-proof vests and a shield were timidly placed outside their gate to intimidate and provoke our action. Unfortunately, we did not take the bait and waited for the police onslaught in order to fight back in a more optimal way, not as a sign of cowardice towards the ratis (we always went straight at them, even provoking them with a couple of Molotovs on the ground and stones), but knowing that if we attacked them directly, they would unleash an onslaught of shots and the panic could have caused a worse accident given the crowd of people in the street.
In this context, the wait for the police onslaught took almost two hours, which exacerbated the spirits of several of us. During this wait, a citizen-cop threatened us in a stupid and naive way with the intention of hitting us. A brief scuffle broke out and ended with his precious car out of service thanks to a Molotov that set fire to the driver’s seat of the car. We are not ashamed to attack the material goods of those who try to act as police without wearing a uniform; they more than deserve it.
After two hours of long and tedious waiting, the guanaco3 located at Condell and Providencia begins to advance while from Rancagua and Condell another guanaco also advances, trying to make a “trap” strategy. It is at this moment when we launched a couple of Molotovs, which triggered the advance of the ratis, covering themselves with the guanaco to proceed to execute about 9 shots, which left a person from the university wounded in his skull.
After this offensive, we continued the confrontation with Molotov cocktails inside the vicinity of the university. It is at that moment when the guanaco threw water directly into the face of a student.
Apart from any useless victimhood, we know that in the face of our inflammatory provocation they will do the impossible to see us imprisoned/dead; we are proud enemies of power and we are consistent with that, our lives are always open to the possibility of jail or death. Moreover, we also know that these events occur in this way because the precious government of the progressive bourgeoisie has given unlimited guarantees to its forces of order, all this under the neo-fascist rhetoric of “citizen security”. The trigger-happy law does nothing more than evidence the political crisis of progressivism and the unrestricted union of the entire political class. The progressive sector has not been able to repress subversion under the counterinsurgency mechanisms of social democracy (recuperation, democratization, grassroots politicking, etc.) and has given ground to the rhetoric of punitive populism, which leaves them only one option to safeguard their reputation: self-perpetuate at gunpoint.
It should be noted that, in addition, during this day, simultaneous confrontations occurred at the Liceo Barros Borgoño (with a compa run over by the cops), Liceo 1 (with several detainees), INBA, Liceo de Aplicación, the former Pedagógico (where the cops attacked entering the university), among other establishments that were also occupied after the riots.
In relation to all that happened during that day, it is worth reflecting on the means of attack that we use in the face of the armed threat of the police in the context of trigger-happy behavior. We know that the police have always shot at us at random, however, this cannot remain just an inconsequential chant that says “all the bullets will be returned” while standing idly by. It is our certainty that those bullets do not return on their own and that when they least expect it we return them with ferocity and that in those moments they exhibit all their cowardice when they see us armed… Yes, this is also a threat.
It is time to study new means, new objectives, to qualify the attack, to strike harder and harder and to be unpredictable and invisible to the eyes of power. In a self-critical way we think that if we have to make incendiary exits we cannot only arm ourselves with Molotov bombs, paint or stones. It is necessary that our offensive puts their miserable lives at risk and that they feel the taste of blood in their mouths. Enough of raising banners waiting for them to stop shooting and killing us and let’s take arms into our hands not only in the peripheries of the city, but also in the heart of the metropolis; without leadership, without platforms, without vanguards, without leaders, informally and among like-minded individuals to unleash the anarchic war against all the existent.
For these reasons and more, we call for the multiplication of anarchic urban guerrilla actions throughout the world, making an Internationalist Call for a BLACK MAY in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales and in solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar as their oral trial is about to begin on May 19. We leave you these words to be spread around all the black threads of the world, dedicated to those who have ears to hear them, minds to reflect and hearts to take action and explode in rebellion.
SOLIDARITY AND ARMED COMPLICITY WITH MÓNICA, FRANCISCO, MAWUNKO, TOMÁS, THE COMRADES OF THE SUSARON CASE AND THE GENDARMERÍA CASE!
UNLEASH REVENGE THIS MAY 1ST FOR FRANCISCA SANDOVAL AGAINST THE TRAFFICKERS-COPS OF CENTRAL STATION!
ANARCHIC SOLIDARITY WITH THE INDEFATIGABLE COMRADE ALFREDO COSPITO!
UNLEASH THE NEW ANARCHIST URBAN GUERRILLA AGAINST ALL THE EXISTENT!
FOR A BLACK MAY FULL OF EXPLOSIONS AND SOLIDARITY!
LONG LIVE THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL!
