Claim of responsibility for the attack against a private vehicle belonging to a cop at a carabinieri barracks in Rome, March 29, 2024
“Soon, Anarchists, we will hasten to the dagger for victory or die with oil and dynamite, every class and the government to eradicate.”
Anarchist Song
While the Mediterranean is more and more a mass grave full of the corpses of the oppressed from the south of the world, Gaza is being razed to the ground in world vision and the winds of war are blowing fatally to every corner of the globe leading the proletarians of the world to massacre at the hands of the bosses’ interests, we have decided to act, to attack. Identifying in the soldiers of any side an enemy to be defeated for anyone who has a tension of freedom, without neglecting the specific responsibilities of the local weapon, we have decided to direct our hatred and our revenge against the soldiers of the Carabinieri corps.
In a present like the present in which every revolutionary hypothesis seems a vain chimera, we have decided to continue fighting: they may deprive us of the hope of a radically different world, but not of the thirst for revenge that we feel against those who perpetuate the oppression of one class over another and its defenders (such as the police) and those who enrich themselves by stripping the planet of its flesh in a wicked way.
The attack against power in every place and time, even at a time like today, when repression strikes ever harder at every glimmer of conflict and is burying alive our comrades held hostage in their homeland prisons, seems to us the best way to give continuity to the centuries-old clash between the oppressors and the oppressed, of which as Anarchists we feel we are a part.
Hoping that these flashes of individual revolt can brighten up this grey and pacified present, we reiterate that as anarchists we put the liberating violence of the oppressed before the systematic violence of those who hold the monopoly of the same, and we firmly affirm the legitimacy of revolutionary violence as an instrument of struggle against the state and capital.
It is in the firm conviction of the rightness of our ideals of freedom and equality that lies the courage to fight, in the first person, choosing to take the knife by the handle and trying to return, even if in a small part, the blows inflicted by the enemy.
For these and 1000 other reasons we have chosen to attack 1 private car belonging to a cop using incendiary instruments: The choice to attack in the “private” stems from the desire to make those who choose to defend the established democratic social order, wearing a uniform, pay the price of their choices in an increasingly targeted way.
COPS, BOSSES AND BOURGEOISIE:
YOU WILL PAY DEARLY AND YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING.
We take this opportunity to reaffirm our solidarity with the Anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche-Fernadez, Pierlorenzo Fallanca, Luca Dolce and all the Anarchists seized in state concentration camps everywhere. You are not alone Comrades.
Incendiary greetings to the fugitives, may life smile on you, we will meet again on the barricades.

Note from “La Nemesi”: There are errors in the opening quote. The song mentioned is “Mano alla bomba”, a translation of the Spanish song “Arroja la bomba”, and the correct portion of the lyrics is as follows: Soon anarchists rush / To fight for victory or to die / With oil and dynamite / Every class and the government to undo and eradicate. According to what is known, the Italian version was published in “Guerra di Classe”, a newspaper of the CNT-FAI (Sección Italiana), Barcelona, year II, no. 14, 1 May 1937, p. 6, with the title “Hand to the bomb!” and the indication Adaptation of VIR. Motif of the anarchist hymn “Arroja la bomba” (VIR is the pseudonym of Virgilio Gazzoli, an anarchist from Pistoia). “Arroja la bomba” was composed during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) and was sung in prisons by imprisoned anarchists.
