“Sympathy with pain there will, of course, always be. It is one of the first instincts of man. The animals which are individual, the higher animals that is to say, share it with us. But it must he remembered that while sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of joy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain. It may make man better able to endure evil, but the evil remains. Sympathy with consumption does not cure consumption; that is what Science does. And when Socialism has solved the problem of poverty, and Science solved the problem of disease, the area of the sentimentalists will be lessened, and the sympathy of man will be large, healthy, and spontaneous. Man will have joy in the contemplation of the joyous lives of others.”

”Bolshevism, embodying the ideal of a centralising state, has shown itself as the deadly enemy of the free spirit of revolutionary toilers.
Resorting to unprecedented measures, it has sabotaged the development of revolution and besmirched the honor of its finest aspect.
Successfully disguised, it concealed it's real face from the gaze of the toilers, passing itself off as the champion of their interests."
— Nestor Makhno, The Idea of Equality and the Bolsheviks
