from liberaciontotal, transl waronsociety:
In the face of a new communique from ITS we cannot remain silent. And we want to begin by recognizing something that for us has grown qualitatively from this group of action, and that is Respect. We believe that at one time their analysis and reflections had an arrogant inclination. And before continuing we want to make clear that haughtiness, pride and arrogance are completely necessary in this war but against the enemy; we do not believe it is so worthwhile to direct our forces (at least not all our forces) to throwing critiques or attacks into a space of praxis (such as the anti-authoritarian or anarchist space), not because we see it as unnecessary, but because when one speaks of the crux of this struggle it is against the Techno-industrial System and Civilization, that should be the target against which to aim and unsheathe one’s attacks. In addition to this, we believe that critiques, or the destruction of false postures, within the space of struggle should exist because they help the discussion to refine the aim and to have a wide view of the context, but it is important that critiques are made in Respect.
We will try not to belabor the point to not draw attention away from what is important in this post, which is the seventh communique from ITS. We want to offer a small but important clarification. The Liberación Total website, a medium of information and propaganda against all forms of domination, is not an Anarchist site. Certainly at times there have been compañerxs in this project of an anarchist tendency, but not now. Since before we changed the header image, LT stopped defining itself as an anarchist site, not because we look down on anarchy but because it is not what drives our lives and projects. We do recognize the enormous courage of the anarchist compañerxs, the great majority of them from the early twentieth century (such as Leon Czolgosz) or in the present like the compañero Mauri (eternal enemy of civilization). Our problem is not with anarchy, but with anarchism (as an ideology) and its defenders, those of the camp of OARS or López Arango* on whom even the category of social democrats fits large.
On the topic of “order” and “chaos.” We remain with Chaos, in its daily theory and practice. Organization and order are not synonymous, they are different terms, just as organization is not synonymous with chaos. We despise order from its basis in this System. And this point should perhaps be dealt with further on. Likewise, we will offer our position regarding what we understand as “domination.”
Regarding our own reasons for writing with an “x”** and avoiding sexual gender. This is to say that we are for surpassing these barriers, that we are human beings with individual capacities; we are not for feminism, much less radical feminism. Nor do we believe in equality, because we are naturally different. Our proposal is the destruction of the non-values of society and living without putting in the forefront whether or not someone has a penis, a vagina or is a hermaphrodite, to be able to relate with each other as human beings. We believe that language is important for understanding each other, therefore it is necessary to know the meaning of words in order to not fall into Power’s game of newspeak, where the System reforms the value of words, for example “Freedom” which for them is synonymous with “slavery.”
Finally, we recognize the capacity to reason as part of human nature, but we believe that to lift up this human quality alone is to emphasize just one small part of our nature. Feelings, spirituality and the mental/physical plane are also part of this human nature in which we ourselves seek a balance. So we do not throw away any or all of these qualities, not forgetting that they are part of a confluence of capacities.
To the radical ecological warriors of ITS, our most sincere salute of force and spirit. We recognize your thanks as an answer to our consistent practice, for our notes when they are deserved and for our honest projects to contribute to the struggle against Civilization. We will not give up defending of direct action and sabotage in defense of the Earth, we will shout it to the four winds and if they come for us because of our reflections, our heads will remain high.
May the package bombs resound like the thunder of liberation,
may the bullets aim at the gears and motors of the machine!
In defense of wild life and the Earth!
For Total Liberation!
