Wipe out Capitalism everyday

“From a certain point onward, there is no turning back. That is the
point that much be reached.” – Franz Kafka Capitalism is on the move! In
last years it destroyed most of the things people were fighting for last
centuries. We should try to stop it before it is too late.

Each year there are mass actions against the G8 summits as they also are
being organized this year against the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany.

But only blocking these summits is not enough. The G8 and the other big
players (corporations, banks, etc.) are the ones extorting the whole
world for their own gain. This fight should not only be against big
institutions or once a year during these summits, rather it is the
entire capitalist structure of control and exploitation that should be
overthrown.

Every day people live their life without thinking about what
consequences their behaviour might have on others. Day by day oil
companies dump their raw oil into the ocean. Every day big banks extort
countries because of loans given out to these countries during
dictatorial rule. And every day is a day that we – activists of all
countries – could and should bring about change!

Already people have organized themselves and wage war against capitalism
and neo-liberalism on a daily basis.

In the last few years we have seen an increase in repression. New
anti-terrorism laws, raids on info café’s and people homes, CCTV, harsh
immigration regulations, etc.

Martin Luther King once said, “those who make peaceful revolution
impossible, only make violent revolution inevitable”. We will not go as
far suggesting that violence should be the answer. Rather we are calling
to everyone for non violent actions. Remember that we do not fight
people but only the institution, the empire of Growth and Greed.

This resistance is only that successful because people demand change,
both in their own countries and on the world scale in solidarity with
other people. Also they are not scared of using radical approaches and
use a ‘diversity of tactics’–approach.

The time for debate is over. We should fight! We are at war with
capitalism, hierarchy and injustice. The capitalist machine must be shut
down!

Direct action should be our weapon. This method is not about radicalism,
but about inventiveness and usefulness. It is not wrong to destroy
property, if it is only aimed at inanimate objects. It is wrong to see
something unjust and not try to do something about it. So let’s hit
those bastards where it hurts them the most: property!

Property destruction is no violence at all. Is it violent to destroy
weapons, which themselves kills hundreds and hundreds of people? Is it
violent to destroy machines which themselves destroy acres and acres of
rainforests? There is no violence in taking these murderous things away.
On the contrary: it prevents violence. It is just a a step beyond civil
disobedience.

So hereby we will ask you, readers of this call out, to do the same: do
not wait for international gatherings, summits or whatever. Get on the
street and overthrow the capitalist system now!

Go out in the night, dress in black and use that monkey wrench to do
what…? Well we should remember that nothing good has ever come into this
world without struggle.

The possibilities are endless, use your imagination and your
possibilities will only be limited by your spirit and passion.

Give rise to change and bring about a revolution!
