Makhno kicked some serious reactionary ass. Just think about it: He and his men rode around on horseback blasting Ukrainian rap music while they were blowing the shit out of the Germans, the Austrians, Ukrainian Nationalists, and oppressive Red Army units. Thats pretty hardcore.

"A consistent and implacable revolutionary struggle against all falsehoods, arbitrariness and violence, from wherever these may emanate, a struggle to the death: free speech, just deeds and struggle under arms."

- from the Makhnovist Insurgent Army Program, April 1920

When and where was this footage taken?

You guys are messing Bolsheviks with Communists! For someone to be an Anarchist MUST be Communist. Bolsheviks were a bunch of totalitarian bitches wanting power by any means necessary. Even with killing Anarchists, Anarchocommunists, Libertarian Communists and Socialists and any kind of liberal thinking (The good part is killing fascists :P)

What is really fucking hardcore is what they saw in the future, western capitalism that would later evolve into Nazism and the Corporatism that plagues us today, and the Communists that became Maoists, Stalinists and all the Genocidal Pol Pot wannabes in the world. Right Wing Death Squads Left Wing Death Squads. The only difference between Communism and Fascism isn't even the bloody racism- Chinese commies and Tibet, anybody?

The only difference is who owns the economic power- CEOs or Chairmen.

Of course I'm kind of kidding about the rap music and whatnot, but he did some pretty incredible things in his life.
