"We are all selfish, we all seek self satisfaction. But the anarchist finds his greatest satisfaction in the struggle for the good of all, for the achievement of a society in which he can be a brother between siblings, among healthy, intelligent, educated and joyful people.

- Errico Malatesta
To be good and lead a good life means to give to others more than one takes from them.

"Something of a reply to the essay by Michael Parenti, "Left Anti-Communism: The Unkindest Cut" and a retort to the tenancy of modern Stalinists to attack their left opponents by calling them "anti-communist".
