Solidarity means 30 seconds daubing paint on a building followed by 12 hours with a thesaurus writing a communique!

These ridiculous 'actions' if indeed they happen (never a link to a local corporate press report) are totally bizarre.

Final evidence that it is a state cop squad- the daily telegraph is reporting them- get ready for attacks on squats and free spaces in the run up to the corporate olympics.

This whole Cells of Fire thing has had cop and agent provocator all over it from the start.

Be warned everyone with the olympics coming we will see a lot more of this.

why ever you think it's cops that have done this, I don't know. I understand your reasoning, but I also understand that some people think this insurrectionary form of action is useful.

I don't quite get why it was a "crippling blow against the global patriarchal industrial complex" but maybe that's just language!

I've always said these 'informals' are either cops, trusties or fuckwits (possibly more than one). If they are not cops, then neither are they anarchists because the FAI/IRF are:

1) vanguardist - seeing themselves as the unappointed leadership of 'the struggle', however they might perceive that struggle

2) substitutionists - substituting themselves (either as individuals or grouplets) for the working class, the oppressed, etc.

3) unaccountable - delegated by no one and acting on no mandate other than their own fucked up fantasies

Also, despite their insurrectionary language, the FAI/IRF are absolutely not insurrectionists. This is because an insurrection requires a mass popular movement ready to take up arms against the state. As there is no such movement, we're back to small group vanguardism, substitutionism and unaccountability again.

Anarchists, on the other hand, are concerned with building a mass revolutionary movement which includes working class organisations, controlled from below by means of an accountable system of mandated delegates.

Anarchists also advocate direct action which entails working class people acting for themselves, as opposed to indirect action which entails letting others do things for us (e.g. voting for politicians, the Labour Party, full time trade union bureaucrats, so called guerrilla groups like the FAI/IRF).

With all these FAI-IRF clones, it's everybody else's job to be passive spectators just watching these so called heroes do it all for us, and in this way, they could also be small time contenders for future ruling cliques, if they were to ever get anywhere (thankfully, they've no fucking chance).

There's an irony here though. This fake FAI have misused the initials of the Italian and Iberian Anarchist Federations (both FAIs for many decades), possibly maliciously. They carry out 'actions' that are accountable to no one. I do not know whether this and other communiques are genuine. To me they sound utterly bizarre, but you never know with these urban 'guerrilla' types, as their 'truth' is usually far stranger than any work of fiction. But if these latest reports are fake, then there's a little justice in that, seeing these FAI-IRF wankers get their name misused in the same way they have misused others, and just as they have misused the term 'anarchist'.

Personally, I couldn't tell the real from the fake as they're all equally wacky.

Surely a parody! Ho Ho! I predict the Cells of Fire will strike again in Deal in Kent, a sleepy seaside town but still a place full of the EVILS of CAPITALISM - banks, toy shops, Tesco Express, butchers and numerous ice cream parlours who take our passionate and natural desires for sweet ice cream flavours and turn them into a sick and barbaric spectacular commodification of our passion for freedom that lurks deep within our rebellious hearts. Etc etc.

Might come in useful after a paint-bombing attack on the structures of capitalism and save people some time:
