A week of student strikes having just ended, this is a claim for a series of direct actions that spanned the course of the past two years including three nocturnal attacks. Pieces of Concordia University infrastructure were destroyed at a variety of sites. Based on their own estimates these damages cost the school hundreds of thousands of dollars.
These attacks were not done because of Concordia’s investments or ties. This was all done because of their attempts to pound their students into submission. These nocturnal attacks are being announced to erase any doubt in the simple minds of the university administrators who will do anything and waste all their money and resources just to chase after some authoritarian fantasy of an obedient consumer-student, administrators who have minds that are obsessed with their own ideologies, who live in echo chambers where their rich friends cheer them on and leave them out to dry when they see no results, and who throw tantrums when their perfect vision of order is disturbed time and time again despite the money they have wasted on their peanut-brained private security apparatus. We laugh at you because you waste your time on the hopeless dream of all tyrants while barely deserving such a title in your sandcastle empire. You do not understand that love for the world and the refusal to accept the abuse, brutalization, and slaughter of other humans is an eternal human tendency that will endlessly replenish the pool of people struggling for freedom. This human nature has never been stopped by such pitiable punishments and will renew itself endlessly and pour out of any and all cracks which we will make ourselves if we have to.
This was very easy to do. The nights were so quiet and peaceful. The air was fresh and cold. Whenever I fell upon a police cruiser leaving the site of an attack they didn’t even pay any attention to me. During the next period of student protests and before if need be, I hope more people will join me in responding to any repression blow for blow. Every person must take up these small and easy attacks when the time comes. Remember that no one will ask you to do this or get it started for you. You will need to find the power in yourself to step into the revolutionary wilderness and to never turn back.
If they insist on their authority, lost in their delusions of grandeur, let them face that grand destiny of all rulers who stubbornly held tight on their grip and refused to loosen their fists. To desire to be king forever leaves each to their own kingdom of ashes. They can govern that if they’d like.
