New anarchist space open in Naples
New anarchist space open in Naples


The Ateneo Libertario has born in Naples (Italy) as a meeting point for those, like us, who are striving for a world without any kind of exploitation and domination of a man on another man, and where everyone could live in freedom, without borders and masters.
The Ateneo Libertario is far from every logic and pratice of institutional parties, because we think it’s impossible to delegate to somebody else the solution to our problems, desires and dreams: we want to choose our own life.
As anarchists, we believe all the pain, the violence and the injustices we are forced to stand everyday are the cause of the wrong organization of our society. Government, jail, school, church, army, police: they all were created by masters to submit us and to deny our natural freedom of thinking and acting. We want to break down these chains and, to do this, we know we must stop delegating to someone else all that we can do on our own: by this way, everyone can start overthrowing power, authority, hierarchy we find in every moment of our lives, in our homes as in the streets, in our families as in our neighbourhoods. Anarchy will come only if we are conscious that, to liberate ourselves, we must fight for everybody’s freedom. Anarchy can’t be forced by a dictature or an army, because any kind of imposition doesn’t belong to us: we know these methods belong to cops, priests and politicians.
Driven by all these things, as anarchists and libertarians, we chose to create a place where anyone can begin discussing and organizing for a world of freedom, equality and happiness. We want back the happiness we lost when we realized we’re obliged to survive rather than to live, breaking our backs for a living while masters are getting fat by our labour, sitting with their asses on their comfortable chairs. We want back that happiness for all those youths who burnt it to wear an uniform and to die in a trench or in our neighbourhoods, just in the name of money, of the flag and country. Instead, we believe our country is the whole world and our flag is the one of the oppressed and of the rebels fighting for freedom: that’s the reason why we don’t want no wars for money or power. The only war we want to join is the one of slaves against masters, of life against authority, of freedom against every kind of oppression. Those who everyday take decisions for us keep telling us by their media that we’re living in democracy and they’re protecting our freedom, but in their “freedom� we see nothing but violence, money and exploitation. For this reason we can’t believe we can make better this world, because this world is made of chains and we’re going to live in chains as long as governments and masters will exist.
