Prisoners of powwwererer I believe that all prisoners of the world are produced by power and are hostages of power. Strength, authority, brutality, assassinations, genocide, oppression, slavery, exploitation, destruction, torture, mistreatment, the sadistic delight in pain, racism, violation, money, corruption and abuse are examples of what is power. The same power that’s disguised as the absolute truth, as religion, as democracy, as other authoritarian systems, which continue their existence and the government of our lives. Power is an enemy of solidarity and freedom, that is why it is our enemy. An enemy that we need to fight until it has disappeared, because it keeps us all like prisoners and it is destroying humanity as well as our planet. Prisons are the power’s camps of concentration, exploitation and extermination. They are power’s most cruel spaces, were torture, mistreatments and assassinations are their basic principles. Prisons are the worst environment for the fight against power. The main fight of prisoners is the fight for the respect of human dignity. In prison, they destroy you as a person and they even get away from you any lust for living. Fighting inside prison is very difficult, but I believe that it is important to fight in those spaces. Fighting inside prison gives you strengh to continue living, or at least to die fighting power and defending solidarity and freedom. That is why I am against prisons, because I am against power.

The infrastructures of finance and war are unstable, and the bloody role of State and Capital is most acutely revealed in these times of crisis, ruthlessly protecting private interest and hierarchy. We need to be conscious of these moments of collaboration and participation, which are day-to-day occurrences in the 21st century. As the governments bring forces to bear against the growing international movements of participa- tion and solidarity, our attempts to build a successful anti-market and anti-system critique and practice, alongside the suppression of traditional forms of dissent, assembly and expression, means that many previous leftist methods of struggle and organisation are redundant, along with the world that is rapidly aging with them. a data network for direct action . a media framework for social war . the refusal of fixed territory .
