More quotes by Nestor Makhno

Anarchism — a life of freedom and creative independence for humanity.

I hope that you’ll do better than us when the time comes. Makhno has never refused a fight; if I’m still alive when your revolution begins, I’ll be one fighter among many.

Anarchism is as revolutionary, as diverse, and as sublime in every facet as is human life itself.

Man is only free if he is prepared to kill every hangman and every power magnate if they do not wish to stop their shameful tasks.

I would still call on you, reader and brother, to take up the struggle for the ideal anarchism, for only if you fight for this ideal and uphold it will you understand it properly.
