It's that time of year again when politicians pin plush poppies on
themselves and mourn over dead soldiers as if they were tulips knockedover by a hailstorm. We completely forget who sent those men to the war
slaughterhouse, sometimes for reasons as petty as greed and offended
pride. Rulers and politicians in general (elected or self-appointed)
primarily promote the interests of capital, the accumulation of power
and profit is the cause of constantly recurring war conflicts. As long
as there is capitalism and the state, wars will never end!
Anarchists have always been consistent anti-militarists who have refused
and continue to refuse to participate in wars of the powerful, one state
against another, on the contrary they have always called and will call
on their brothers and sisters across national borders to fraternize and
not kill each other at the behest of rulers and generals . On the
contrary, they have called, and will continue to call, to lay down their
arms, disobey orders, and desert, or better still, to rebel against
their commanders and government, turn their arms against them-end the
war and start a social revolution. Because our real enemies sit in
parliament, government and in management or shareholder offices - they
are politicians and bosses.
That's why we don't celebrate Veterans Day on November 11, but on the
contrary we celebrate our heroes - deserters and army mutineers - all
those who renounced obedience to the authorities and refused to continue
murdering their brothers and sisters for the sake of the interests of
the rich!
It is easy to forget that it was not the remorse or enlightenment of the
rulers that ended the First World War, it was the mutinies of the
soldiers as at Estaples, Asine, Nivelle or Kiel, when the soldiers
hoisted red flags and turned the guns of the warships not on the enemy
but on the building Admiralty. It was the fear of the politicians and
the anointed heads that they themselves would end up in front of the
firing squads if they did not end the wars they started. And let us
remember that, the courage of our anti-militaristic predecessors and
social revolutionaries.
GLORY TO THE DESERTERS AND DENIERS!
THE WAR OF THE PALACES
I WANT PEACE!
