Italian Anarchist Massimo Passamani Solidarity With Hunger Strike

In the twilight zone of sorts I find myself in- neither free nor fully imprisoned – I have decided to give up my daily work release from prison for the next week, as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestine Action comrades on hunger strike in British prisons, a strike my friend and brother Stecco has also joined. I know that my staying in prison instead of going to work will not bother the prison administration in the least. But my message is not addressed to prison management – whom I have nothing to say to and nothing to ask of but to those who are fighting against the genocide of the Palestinian people, alongside its indomitable resistance.

Ciao Mario

From Umanità Nova

Today we say goodbye to a free man. A "rebel," as he liked to call himself.

And Mario Candotto's life was a work of art and a hymn to rebellion and freedom. Anti-fascism, the Resistance, and deportation. Then came the dream of building socialism in Yugoslavia. A dream that almost immediately revealed itself to him as a scam or a nightmare. He then returned to Ronchi and the construction site, becoming more and more drawn to the anarchist group.

Claim for the burning of 17 cars at the Tesla dealership, Rome, 3/31/25

From Act for Freedom Now! - Rome, Italy

Few people in the world today incarnate absolute Evil equal to that of the infamous technocrat billionaire Elon Musk. It would be simplistic though to see him as a classic cartoon “baddie”, a character which none the less suits him perfectly, without realising that this contemptible individual is only the product of an economic and social system marching towards its very self-destruction and that his expansionist ambitions symbolically sum up those of the system itself.

Goffredo Fofi has died

From Rivista Malamente

The infosphere of what remains of the left in Italy is exploding with obituaries, crocodiles, and memories.

We too are doing our part, but please don't lump us into the rubble of the "left that once was," a stale position that doesn't belong to us. We salute Maestro Fofi as the editorial team of a small, provincial, anti-capitalist and anarchist social critique project, which Goffredo held in high esteem.
