A-Infos (en) Italy, Sicilia, FA: War is never the solution. Internationalist solidarity. Desertion (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

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.
