As a propaganda group, we have no direct connection to the clandestine actors that do actions in the name of anarchy. Propaganda of the deed can take many forms, but in some cases the actors do illegal actions that they wish to explain a form of attack.
To stand in "solidarity" of such actions means to us to attempt to explain the reasons for the necessity of the action, the rationale behind doing them. It means that should the social order attempt to use such actions as an excuse to repress anarchists or others in general, that we don't condemn the action and accept the consequences of taking such a stand.
Attacks by primitivists, nihilist anarchists, insurrectionary anarchists and others often will be done with a communique accompanying the action, so often we need not necessarily speculate on the personal reasons for such activity. But why is it necessary?
We, as anarchists, are a force for action. We want to see the spreading of anti-authoritarian expressions which challenge the dominance of the social order. We want to encourage anarchists to stand strong and provide whatever support they can should these actors get caught and we want blame of repression to lay solely on the social order and not the actors nor those that give moral support for the actors.
For primitivists, the primal war may only be fought in this realm. Having little faith in mass struggles, they see civilization as a form of domination that is all pervasive, the arena of struggle may not be able to take other forms beyond clandestine attack. In other ways the targets may be science and technology, which create the justification for the continued expansion of civilization and the deepening of systems of control that are difficult to see.
The relationships these experts have are tied to domination, but there is no mass that can take these systems on. Their pay level and the amount of support they receive from the power elites makes their behavior beyond the ability to strike. Even when they step outside and enter subversive relationships, scientists continue their research even in left or anti-authoritarian groups, which can still reinforce the domination of civilization despite holding relationships that might suggest the contrary.
