WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA News Journal Update - (en) Sicilia Libertaria 4/2023: napadema: Naples. Three days out and against the rubble (ca, de, it, pt, tr) [machine translation]

 A lot has changed in five years and so many have passed since the last We are NOT

AFRAID OF MAcerie, so much so that the world finds it hard to recognize itself.
This was an initiative modeled on the belief that in the face of the
unpredictability of events that demolish social systems, the only way we can try
to equip ourselves is to relate to know-how. Separating the destruction of the
present from a construction postponed until later is unrealistic, given that
intolerance towards the Dominion can do little if it does not face the fact that
to conquer a freedom, useless if granted from above, one must have suitable
means. ---- Santa Fede Liberata is located in the heart of Naples, the right
place for Napadema. The centuries have worn it out a bit and it proudly bears the
marks: it would take millions of euros to renovate it, but that won't happen
anytime soon. We decide that the intervention that kicks off the meeting is
intended for the path followed by Santa Fede which, from symbolic occupation by a
neighborhood committee, has gone through phases that have led it to a partial
separation from the other so-called "common goods Neapolitans, on extremely clear
positions. There was also the desire to recall the totalitarian acme of 20-21,
and the narration through images of the darkest period, by a group composed
largely of women (teachers and/or mothers) who chose to call themselves Usciamo
from the schemes, it has given us back the awareness that a fundamental weapon
against the System is knowing how to say no, perhaps through irony and play. Seen
very badly by the restiamoacasa-tsopertutti flock at the time, they told us with
dry politeness about their initiatives in the urban desert and the unexpected
media impact obtained. From the dissolution of that collective many other
beautiful things were born such as the Jamm' Band that played for us in the evening.

On Saturday we entered into the revolutionary love between material and
immaterial, talking about wood and food. The Autonomous Libertaria Falegnameria
is a cooperative that has established itself in a shop in the center, making
concrete what the chosen company name affirms through the sharing of decisions
and work. Speaking of respect for time, of the relationships activated and of the
internal organization, the FAL has aroused the envy of those who spend their day
in more drastically conceptual works. More delicate is the enterprise that Cucina
Clandestina has been undertaking for some years, people who persist in spreading
a practice that reconciles product quality and culinary art even in places where
what you eat seems secondary. If the initiative went well it was largely thanks
to the two cuisines (Clandestina + dell'Amore) that fed us and Urupìa that
quenched our thirst.

In the afternoon we dedicated ourselves first of all to publishing, with the
Marche-based Malamente, one of the most active libertarian publishing houses in
recent years, which publishes books and a magazine that reached number 30 -
Because uncertainty and the crisis these days are also possibilities that open
up, old certainties that collapse. The fact that it was born in a
non-metropolitan area is a good indication to reiterate what should be clear by
now: since there is no center, any place is suitable to begin with.

The maximum suspense was reached with the intervention of Marco Piracci, author
of Cyborg, who described the track taken by the transhumanist ideology, twinned
with the developments of the digitized society, a paradise of ubiquitous control,
with results that go beyond the imagination of most of us.

The rest of the evening was instead dedicated to those who had come from Sicily
both to illustrate the long history of Sicilia Libertaria and La Fiaccola, and to
turn to emergency micro-publishing such as Scirocco, born out of the urgency to
have a say in the darkest moments of the spacer compulsion. The invitation
included a request for a summary overview of the conditions on an island which
has the fate of being at the center of one of the strategically crucial places
for planetary military-political power. There has been talk of military bases
that infest our south and of Muos, in the various approaches to try to counter
it, in ways that can also cause episodes of lack of harmony; but anyhow, if we
wanted absolute agreement we formed a party, not gatherings of intolerant of
voluntary servitude.

We have finished with Panchovilla in Sabina, a reality made up of people who are
dedicated to the countryside - because With the end of the metropolis there is a
need to conceive of an elsewhere - but without giving up the city (Rome,
Pigneto), indeed taking steps to develop intense synergies , and with the common
Urupia, which has lived on the earth for almost six decades, yet has never left
the experimental phase, which keeps it young and vital. Those who return after
maybe twenty years will find the same place (modified), some of the same people
(slightly changed), new Communards and a different air. I could say more open and
perhaps less visionary, in any case a place that does not "resist", but continues
to experiment and reinvent itself.

It didn't want to be a conference and it wasn't, if anything a principle of
hypotheses to understand where to put our hand, and the results let us hope that
our tiny reconstruction work is well started again. Patiently and without fear,
because, as that mechanic from León said many years ago, we are still not afraid
of rubble.
