A letter sent to a notorious left-extremist website says responsibility for the week-long mass-arson assault against Amazon delivery trucks and exhorts Tesla fans to” the cultural revolution.”
16 Amazon vans were burnt in Berlin on Tuesday evening, while around the city two left- aircraft protests progressed as part of the May 1st ‘ May Day ‘ international communist time of action in remembrance of , an 1889 meeting of the , Marxist International Socialist Congress , in Paris. At the time, it was reported that officers suspected arson and “masked” people were seen outside, but a well-known extreme-left website, which was frequently used to call for extremist activity or hold accountable for attacks, now acknowledges that the delivery lorries ‘ using was theirs.
Our gasoline-containing picnic is intended to incite the fight against the tyranny of people and nature and to power the unavoidable clash between the exploited and those in authority, according to the statement.

‘ Generally Trouble- Free ‘ Protests: 16 Amazon Delivery Trucks Burnt, Brick Piles Appear on Leftist Protest Routeshttps: //t. co/Y6A6aibCgM

The “militarism” speech named what it says are businesses to large and dangerous to reform, which instead need to get destroyed as” Amazon, Tesla, Apple, Facebook]and ] Google”. It claimed that there are “endless explanations and techniques to attack companies like Amazon and Tesla,” and that it promises to do so as well.
” That’s why we’re looking forward to an exciting month of action against Tesla.  , Hello Jeff! Is your personality the size of the Amazon Tower? Do you see the dust clouds from that location?  , Elon, your GIGANTIC ego wo n’t be able to protect your handcarts”!, the anonymous post declared.  , B. Berlin authorities have confirmed they are aware of the communist statement word.
Germany ‘s , Die Welt , newspaper reports nine cases of arsons against cars in Berlin today, and while the particular makes of those vehicles burnt is n’t cited, it nevertheless notes “targeted arson attacks on Teslas are increasing in the capital”.
Given the characteristics of battery electric vehicles, the threat to assault Teslas appears to be a much more dangerous version of a tactic employed by UK alternative eco-extremists against owners of big trucks. Thousands of Cars have been vandalised, particularly seeing their rubber let down or slashed, by protesters who says they are also polluting to be permitted.

If Tesla cars were to be burned in Berlin this week as it was purportedly promised, it would not be the first time hard-left radicals had directly attacked the electric vehicle manufacturer. Left-wing extremist group Vulkangruppe, as reported in March, claimed responsibility for an arson attack on the high voltage power lines that arose from the Berlin Tesla Gigafactory. The power outage was so severe that 12, 500 employees were sent home, along with the factory closure, and several nearby towns were left without power as well.
German police conducted an investigation into the attack as a terror attack.
This too is part of a little discussed, but major and growing, trend of left- extremist terrorism in Europe targetting the underpinnings of modern Western civilisation. As previously reported:
The hard-left are frequently accused of attacking the fundamental infrastructure that does the heavy lifting for modern life, and railways are not a common target. In a case that coincided with the court’s decision regarding another group of left-wing extremists who were being sentenced for their role in a book shop bombing, high-speed trains were sabotaged in , Italy in 2019 , by arson inside a power substation, according to it was noted.
Although more difficult to work and significantly more likely to lead to fatalities, hard left-style train derailments have been commonplace in Canada in recent years, with environmentalists protesting an oil pipeline by sabotaging trains that transport it. A derailed oil train was spewed onto 1.5 million litres of oil in one incident and engulfed it in flames.
Data infrastructure, including fiber optic cables and telephone exchanges, is also known.  , In 2019, a radio station and radio transmitter were burnt down in France. In the greater Paris region in 2020, 50, 000 people lost internet access as a result of a week-long campaign of such sabotage against information infrastructure. It was suspected the “ultra- left” could have been responsible.
A number of ostensibly connected attacks were carried out in France in 2021, targeting both the telephone and internet services. On several nights, sabotage saw data company work vans burnt out, fibre optic cables shattered, and a communications tower destroyed. Left-leaning actors praised the acts, saying in a statement that” we want to salute all the arsonists who are currently acting in the shadows and repeatedly beating this technological hell.”
More of the same was witnessed this year. The far-left was suspected in the significant sabotage of a power station and nine power lines that left thousands of people and a semiconductor factory without power in early April. Â Just days later, several French cities were completely without internet after significant data cables were cut in several different locations in the same night. According to the timer, “people who know the network” carried out the coordinated strike.
