And just as the earlier black slaveholders fail to alleviate the suffering of their slaves, so today the black capitalists do nothing to alleviate the suffering of their oppressed black brothers."

"Equality does not imply the leveling of individual differences, nor that individuals should be made physically, morally, or mentally identical.

Diversity in capacities and powers—those differences between races, nations, sexes, ages, and persons—far from being a social evil, constitutes, on the contrary, the abundance of humanity.

Economic and social equality means the equalization of personal wealth, but not by restricting what a man may acquire by his own skill, productive energy, and thrift.

Equality and justice demand only a society so organized that every single human being will—from birth through adolescence and maturity—find therein equal means, first for maintenance and education, and later, for the exercise of all his natural capacities and aptitudes."

— Mikhail Bakunin, Revolutionary Catechism (1866)
