#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #ITALY #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) Italy, MILANO - F.A.I.: Demonstration: against Eni, wars and those who arm them (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

 Against all wars and whoever arms them. Against the warmongering policies of ENI.

---- Italy is at war. Successive governments have covered the tricolor war
operations under a cloak of hypocrisy. Humanitarian missions, international
police operations have disguised the dispatch of troops to the war fronts in
Somalia, Lebanon, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. This summer, for the first
time in forty years, a Minister of Defense, on the occasion of the refinancing of
Italian military missions abroad, shamelessly claimed the neo-colonial adventures
of the armed forces as a means of protecting Italy's interests. As many as 18 of
the 40 military missions abroad are in Africa in the triangle that goes from
Libya to the Sahel up to the Gulf of Guinea. They are there to wage war on
migrants bound for Europe and to support ENI. The yellow flag with the ENI
six-legged dog accompanies the flag hoisted on military vehicles. Energy
multinationals such as ENI and banks produce wars and environmental plunder. The
war is planned, organized, conducted by generals without uniforms and stars,
those who in suits and ties sit on the boards of directors of multinationals
together with their overpaid
consultants. They are the ones who leave the "dirty work" to others while
planning an invisible war, which apparently does not destroy, does not shed
blood. The front is not only on the battlefields but passes through our cities
and our lives. An invisible front, only apparently silent, but which every day
presents the bulletin of the fallen who have many faces. The face of the working
class, with the high cost of living and the progressive withdrawal from wages to
finance military spending now without limits. The face of
young generations repaid with precariousness, with wages that are only enough to
survive. The face of the devastated environment to power the production machine.
Being in the streets means denouncing all this and fighting for a radical social
transformation that invests everyone, human and non-human, to build a present and
a future without exploitation, oppression, wars and plundering of the
environment. Against informing, organizing and fighting are our weapons. The
weapons of the dignity of the people and of the class anti-authoritarian
conscience. The imperialist conflict between NATO, which aims to continue the
expansion to the east that began after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and
Russia, which, after decades of retreat, decided to counterattack by occupying
Ukraine, has caused a great leap forward in militarist propaganda. Draghi has
decided to further increase military spending and to send troops to NATO's
eastern front. 500 soldiers, chosen from among the raiders of the Navy, Col
Moschin, Special Forces of the Air Force and Task Force 45, are added to the 240
Alpini in Latvia and the 138 men of the Air Force in Romania. In the Black Sea
there are the FREMM frigate "Margottini" and the minesweeper "Viareggio", as well
as the aircraft carrier "Cavour" with the F-35 fighter-bombers. We are not there.
We do not enlist either with NATO or with Russia. We reject the patriotic and
nationalist rhetoric, a direct emanation of the patriarchal logic, as an element
of legitimation of the states and their expansionist claims.
Antimilitarism, internationalism, revolutionary defeatism have been central to
the struggles of the workers' movement since its origins. Exploitation and
oppression strike in equal measure at all latitudes, the conflict against "own"
masters and against "own" rulers is the best way to oppose state violence and the
ferocity of capitalism everywhere. Oppose the state of war emergency, the
increase in military spending, fight for the withdrawal of all military missions
abroad, for the closure and conversion of the war industry, to open the borders
to all refugees, migrants and deserters is a concrete and urgent front of struggle.
On 2 April we will therefore be in the streets denouncing the wars that have
arisen from the interests of energy multinationals, from the maintenance of
increasingly expensive military apparatuses and from the devastation of the
environment crushed by the ferocious logic of profit. To clearly indicate those
responsible, we will demonstrate in the squares of financial power from Piazza
Affari to Piazza della Scala.
Against the banks, the real masters of the energy system, those responsible for
the environmental robbery and the financing of the military industrial apparatus.
A no is not enough to stop wars. We have to get in the way. Starting from our cities.
General strike, boycott and blockade of military bases and death factories!

Appointment for Saturday 2/4 h.14.30 in Piazza Affari in Milan
