Anti Imperialist Direct Action in Brazil
As the old world collapses and the new one takes too long to be born, we find ourselves living through the most decisive moment in human history.
In Brazil, from the left to the right, what we see is an excess of legalism, blind faith in institutions, and a pacifism that now borders on suicide.
The recent political developments that have shaken relations between Brazil and the United States are just another maneuver by imperialism to open a new front in its endless search for wars to feed the insatiable U.S. military-industrial complex.
In light of this new situation, we have brought together revolutionaries from all four corners of Brazil to build a new movement of the radical left in our country. Through direct action, with more practical work and fewer speeches and meetings, we will make propaganda our primary weapon.
Over the past three months, our group has been responsible for setting fire to six Statue of Liberty replicas in five different Brazilian states, across the North, South, and Eastern regions. These statues are symbols of a major Brazilian retail corporation called Havan, whose owner, Luciano Hang, is an active far-right political supporter, a personal ally of Jair Bolsonaro, and a loyal supporter of Donald Trump.
With billions in debts to the state, a controversial record of political involvement, and total alignment with U.S. interests, Luciano Hang decorates every new Havan store with these massive structures, which symbolize not only his personal megalomania but also the strong presence of the United States across nearly every Brazilian state where a Havan store operates.
Just a few weeks ago, we carried out a coordinated and simultaneous action in four different states, resulting in the total destruction of four statues standing 37 meters tall.
In response, Luciano Hangâjokingly known in Brazil as the âHavan Bald Manââannounced a rewards of R$50,000 and even R$ 100.000 for any information leading to our identification and possible capture.
Of course, the attempt was unsuccessful.
We know exactly what we are doing, and we are not going to stop.
New actions will be carried out, and with the success of this campaign, we will escalate our focus toward the U.S. presence in Brazil.
As a front-line force in street actions and direct confrontation against Zionism and imperialism, we aim to become an example and a reference point for hundreds of thousandsâif not millionsâwho are waiting for the emergence of a truly combative and revolutionary movement.
Behind us, a broad popular front is beginning to take shape in Brazil, in Colombia, and in other countries across Latin America.
In early April, Colombia hosted the Founding Congress of the International Anti-Imperialist League (AIL), bringing together more than 150 anti-imperialists from 50 delegations across 14 countries and every continent. The Congress adopted a common anti-imperialist program, approved the Leagueâs statutes, and issued six political resolutions supporting struggles against imperialism worldwide.
Despite escalating repression in Ecuadorâwhere the Congress was originally plannedâthe event was rapidly relocated and successfully carried out under difficult conditions and political repression, demonstrating the determination and growing unity of anti-imperialist forces internationally.
Brazil was strongly represented by 17 organizations from workersâ, peasantsâ, youth, womenâs, housing, legal solidarity, and popular movements, contributing to the strengthening of international coordination in the struggle against imperialism.
Our organization, responsible for the direct actions mentioned earlier as well as other revolutionary campaigns, actively participated in the construction of the League.
This historic step marks the consolidation of a new international platform for cooperation, solidarity, and resistance among oppressed peoples worldwide.A platform that defends not merely rhetorical anti-imperialism, but rooted, uncompromising anti-imperialism, centered on the defense of armed struggle and insurrection as legitimate means of popular liberation.
Through these initial actions we carried out, we received a strong reception and significant visibility across Brazil. What began as a group of just four has now grown to more than forty comrades committed to carrying out even more impactful and relevant direct actions against U.S. imperialism, raising the banner of anti-imperialism and popular revolution.
A new war scenario is beginning to take shape in Latin America, and Brazil has every indication of becoming a potential target of the fascist regime of Donald Trump. We have little time and a great deal of work ahead of us.
With this crowdfunding campaign, we will be able to expand our operational capacity and begin organizing large-scale actions and protests not only against Yankee imperialism, but also against the strong Zionist presence in Brazilian territory.
With this financial support, we will invest in logistics, safety for our organizers, and new, broader and strengthened actions. For example, by acquiring action cameras, drones, and other techs/equipment, we will be able to document our actions and turn them into powerful propaganda pieces that will serve us like a fine, polished gun.
In the long term, our intention is to formulate a new conception of guerrilla warfare that brings together a new tactic and strategy better suited to the times we live inâ one in which the presence of hacktivists, peopleâs fighters, militants, and all kinds of revolutionaries is possible, from anarchism to Maoism, all under a single revolutionary and anti-imperialist banner.
A broad popular front is beginning to take shape across Brazil, Colombia, and other countries in Latin America. Your contribution helps strengthen this growing network of cooperation and solidarity.
Help us build a new, brighter and revolutionary future.
