The recent attack on February 28th by the United States and Israel against Iran is not an isolated act, nor an accident of history. It is yet another well-planned manifestation of an imperial logic that disguises aggression as defense, supremacy as security, war as moral necessity, capitalist imperialism as democracy. We know that every power, when it strikes, calls for prevention; every bomb is carefully shrouded in technical, surgical, inevitable language, and even words of peace. But we already know who will pay the price for such violence; the victims remain the same: girls, workers, the poor, young people sent to their deaths, families losing their homes and futures, oppressed peoples. And we also know that the chaos that will follow this aggression will foster new wars and further fanaticism.
Regimes can only be opposed and overthrown by their own people, and it is certain that even the popular movements that have opposed the Iranian regime in recent years will be overwhelmed by American imperialist arrogance. Let it be clear: there are no humanitarian wars, nor liberating bombings. Wars are political choices, not natural factors. There is a global structure of domination that feeds on fear, nationalism, and voluntary submission. Governments speak of existential threats, but the only permanent threat to peoples is precisely the continuous and historical intertwining of military power, economic interests, mafias, and media propaganda created by states.
True security comes from social justice, cooperation between peoples, and an end to the economic plunder that fuels conflict. True prevention is dismantling the state structures that breed war: military bases, war-industrial complexes, alliances based on permanent threats, and all the repressive state laws that target any form of dissent.
Wars must be responded to with desertion. Desertion today means, first and foremost, desertion of propaganda. Reject ethnic and religious hatred. Reject the rhetoric of inevitable war, reject the fear of true freedom. It means supporting conscientious objection, protecting those who oppose imperialism, building grassroots international solidarity networks. It means opposing the militarization of our societies and territories from Birgi to MUOS and Sigonella, defending spaces of autonomy, mutualism, and direct organization.
We unambiguously criticize every form of imperialism, regardless of its flag or state. We denounce the hypocrisy of those who speak of international law while trampling on it. And let us remember that no people is our enemy.
If there is a flame to be lit, it is that of solidarity among the oppressed.
If there is a desertion to be implemented, it is that of blind obedience.
If there is a revolution to be prepared, it is one that makes war impossible because it makes domination over our lives impossible.
Let our consciences be awakened. May fear turn to anger. May those in power know they can no longer count on our passivity and our fear of being free.
Against every state. Against every regime.
Against imperialist war, desertion, international solidarity.
Only a society of free and equal people will sweep away all imperialism.
