Revolutionary hearts burn forever: an obituary for Nicole

From Kontrapolis
August 17, 2023

As anarchists we often forget how important it is to celebrate, even in pain, and remember and pay homage to our comrades. Those who who have gone and those who are still by our side. As anarchists we should remember more often something so important that no power or repression had yet been able to break our networks of affinity and solidarity. It is thanks to these networks that today we can, even if from far, remember Nicole with you.

September 10, 1898: the anarchist Luigi Lucheni murders the Austro-Hungarian empress "Sissi" with a file. He does not have enough money for a dagger.

What followed was a violent wave of state attacks against anarchism and, with the Anti-Anarchist Conference in Rome, one of the first attempts to network police repression internationally.

September 9, 2023: an anarchist demonstration through Bad Ischl, a center of monarchy kitsch, commemorates the event with street theater and music.
