A correspondent and friend of ours found a communiqué in a Telegram channel (this: https://t.me/s/matrioskainfo?before=3540). We believe that it should be made known, and that it deserves a few clear words.
The support of various anarchist groups (in Germany, Eastern Europe and elsewhere as well) for a non-existent “Ukrainian resistance” – which is in reality the armed force of a state – had already embittered and distressed us. But that now “the various anarchist groups in Germany” (in whose name do they speak?) call for taking part at the demonstrations of Ukrainian nationalists and NATO ventriloquists, moreover issuing the relevant communiqué at the “international” level; that they explicitly speak out against “the ceasefire” [sic], equating the demand for it with “cooperation with the Putin regime” [sic]; and that all this is happening just as the NATO states (i.e. ours) are shamelessly pushing towards direct confrontation with Russia, all this becomes a real conscription.
If we then think that, during the Covid period, part of the “antagonistic movement” in Germany went so far as to ask for the hateful green pass at the entrance of many self-managed spaces; whereas, at the same time and in the same circles, those who did not get vaccinated were accused of being fascists; that those who sympathize with the Palestinians against the Israeli genocide find it hard to say so – and, if they do, are attacked by self-styled “comrades” as “anti-Semites”… If we think about all this, a question arises: what the hell kind of antagonism is it that is siding with “their” state and “their” ruling class on decisive issues? And if there are comrades there who – we are sure – do not share these statist and militarist drifts, are they saying so openly? If so, we would gladly publish their positions.
The times to which we are rushing no longer allow for reticence. Against war, against peace, for social revolution.
