"I read the Social Democratic newspapers, I saw their disgusting attitude
towards anything that bore even the slightest revolutionary character, and
I realized that there could be no reconciliation between a revolutionary
party and a party trying to earn a reputation for 'moderation' in the eyes
of the government and the bourgeoisie." - Peter Kropotkin
