Vandalism in Response to Proposed “Business Improvement District” – Asheville, NC

Everything stays in line so long as the personal neighborhoods of bosses and judges remain sanctuaries free from the discontents of the class society they maintain: a sanctuary we fully intend on breaking.” – FAI 2014

On June 6th and June 16th, two statist bureaucrats Eva-Michelle Spicer (owner of Spicer Green Jewelers) and Larry Crosby (Manager of Foundry Hotel) had their homes visited and vehicles disabled. This action was carried out in response to the above individuals affiliation with the proposal of, and advocacy for a “business improvement district” in so called Asheville, North Carolina. The proposal of this business improvement district seeks to position wealthy property owners in absolute positions of power to assist the state and capital in tightening their grip of social control by “cleansing” the streets of “antisocial-behaviors” and “anything deemed out of the ordinary” via increased surveillance and private security. By segregating deviant individuals from view and interaction with patrons, we clearly see this as a means of facilitating the upward stream of capital and furtherance of gentrification.

Opposition is possible, the state and capital are not omnipotent. The individuals seeking to implement the business improvement district have names and addresses, along with their state counterparts in local government. These adversaries are not theoretical, not symbolic, but material. We strike to exploit their vulnerabilities. We strike to spread cracks in the spectacle of social peace, firmly committed to widening and exasperating the polarization between class antagonisms. We strike… “because we are for the immediate destructive attack against structures, individuals, and organizations of Capital and the State.” – Alfredo Bonanno

The only way to dissipate fear and tyranny is to transfer it to the enemies back yard.”
