A-Infos (en) Australia, Melbourne, Captain Cooks Cottage Trashed With Paint for Invasion Day

The monuments and museums that fill this dead city only enrage us. ---- They impose on 
public space the supplanting societies creation myth. ---- The creation myth of Australian 
society is that rather than looting, murdering, and displacing the original inhabitants, 
the Europeans were bringing a higher order of civilisation, economic organisation and 
religion to savage lands. ---- The denial of this brutal and revolting history is nowhere 
more evident than on the 25th of January, the celebration of Australia Day – the date of 
invasion. ---- This is why we trashed the absurd shrine to genocide, Captain Cooks 
Cottage, with paint. ---- The Australian state has constructed a deceitful myth of 
consensus. That we have all signed some kind of social contract to be good Australian 
citizens. Well fuck that we don't want your bourgeois morality or your so called 
“civilisation”.

We refuse to quietly submit and bow our heads to this commodified life of wage slavery.

We must act on our own behalf, directly and without mediation.

We must break with any group that seeks to limit the struggle, to negotiate, or to 
reconcile with the state or capital.

We must abandon the concept of appealing to the “justice” of the coloniser and instead 
embark on a direct path of destruction of the existing order and a concrete practice of 
solidarity.

SOLIDARITY TO THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THIS LAND FIGHTING BACK
FROM MUTITJULU, TO REDFERN, FITZROY, PALM ISLAND, AND EVERYWHERE

DESTROY THE COLONIAL SYSTEM THAT OPPRESSES US ALL
