Fuck the bosses and
their projects of destruction
You are here tonight to enjoy a gig,
which is going to be great. But it’s not just a gig!
The reason why five bands are playing
tonight is to express solidarity with a struggle going on in Italy for more
than twenty years, the struggle in the Susa valley (northern Italy) known as NO
TAV.
What is TAV?
TAV is the high speed railway, a project
that means destruction of the ecosystem, transformation of natural landscapes
into horrible travelling routes for businessmen and rich people, and expropriation
of land.
Various Italian governments have been
trying to implement this project for years, putting at risk one of the most
beautiful mountain areas of the country.
The plan for the construction of a high
speed railway track linking Turin (in Italy) to Lyon (in France) will
irreversibly destroy the valley causing not only environmental disaster but
also the disappearance of villages and traditional ways of life. And for what?
For the creation of a colossal work that will only benefit the profits of the
many companies involved in the project, as the new high speed railway line can
only serve the interests of the very rich. Nobody else would ever use these
useless and expansive trains.
The people of the Susa valley have been
opposing this project of death since the early 1990s: construction yards have
been occupied on a great number of occasions in spite of the brutal police
repression unleashed by the governments in charge with violent clashes and mass
arrests. Actions of sabotage have also been numerous and constant throughout
all these years, and at times they have caused huge disruptions on the
‘normality’ of the capitalist system of production.
Following a day of resistance against
the occupation troops of the government in the Susa Valley that took place in
July last year, on January 2012 dozens of people were arrested, seven of whom
are still being held. This gig is for them: practical support is very much
needed and can bring some relief to the imprisoned comrades. But what all of us
ought to do everywhere is to attack the structures of power, each in his or her
way.
The struggle in the Susa valley hits at
the core of the interests of the powerful because it is a mass struggle, a
struggle from below, a struggle that expresses itself with attacks, practices
of self-management and total disregard for political parties and institutions.
FROM ITALY TO THE UK, LET’S STOP THE
DESTRUCTIVE PROJECTS OF POWER!!
