We are. ---- We have been here for three thousand years, everywhere in
the lands of the Mediterranean and beyond. ---- Throughout history, wehave been apotropaic beings, monsters, gods, priestesses, witches, and
abominations. ---- But above all, we are what shapes all of humanity at
its foundations; we are the engine and solar core of the flame that
burns at the heart of forgotten history in all its true forms. ---- That
of anarchist traditions, that of the outcasts and condemned, of the
Spartachi and Masianielli disappeared amid the cover-ups of a
heteropatriarchal and Eurocentric Academicism, the rhetoric of popular
national chauvinism of the Italian republican system and of the
international system of ALL nation states, which at multiple levels,
whether through whitewashing or pure totalitarian repression, seek to
determine our lives and our essences. We are Femmenèll?, we sacrificed
our bodies, already exploited and raped, on the barricades of San
Giovanniello against Nazi-fascism in the libertarian Four Days of
Naples, where the population self-organized in horizontal and
transversal ways, and where, while we Neapolitans were carrying out the
liberation, the Americans waited at the city walls. We are every woman,
man, and trans and queer person who confronts Capital and Statism every
day with our presence in the city and in liberation movements. We know
that Capital will not emancipate us, that the State will not grant us
rights and infrastructure for our self-determination, and we know that
Nationalism cannot be the vector of our cultural and bioregional
identity. And we know that our future is built by critically navigating
every intersection of oppression: genderization, racism, ableism, and
cultural and economic classism.
We at Mastrogiovanni wish to extend our solidarity to every racialized
and gendered community, the lifeblood of our Neapolitan ecology's
sociality, to the proletariat and the precarious workers in this city
who are exhausted by the yoke of profit and its infamous laws, and to
all those with disabilities left without the prospect of a dignified
life. Fifty-six years after the Stonewall Revolution, we want to
remember this small but fiery phrase from Marsha P. Johnson: "No pride
for some of us without liberation for all of us."
And precisely in this way, we want to remember Pride: a prefiguration of
liberation for the entire world, without hierarchies or borders. Free
Palestine. Bijî berxwedana Rojava. Free All Antifa.
