not as much as the red army and both were outdone by the green and white armies on that

nestor makhno wrote and spoke vehemently against anti-semitism and tried to stop the black armies from being anti-semitic

according to a recent book on this subject, over 100,000 Jews were the victims of pogroms during the Russian Civil War and all sides committed pogroms, but that the Red Army were responsible for a relatively small share of pogroms (8.6%), which originated with the soldiers themselves rather than the leadership that was committed to eliminating antisemitism and had a sustained propaganda effort to convince soldiers that Jews were not their enemies. Of particular note, the Red Army distinguished itself from all other combatants in the Civil War by ruthlessly punishing soldiers who committed pogroms, including by executing those responsible. Soviet Jews came to see the Red Army as "our army" because it delivered them from the pogroms of other combatant armies and, when its soldiers committed pogroms of their own accord, the leadership actually punished them for it.

This is what the book has to say for Makhno, by contrast:

Brendan McGeever, Antisemitism and the Russian Revolution, pp. 134-135 n. 103 posted:

This was noticed by the Ukrainian anarchist Nester Makhno in 1927, who, having read Ostrovskii’s book in Paris, complained that it failed to account for the Red Army pogroms; N. I. Makhno, Na chuzhbine 1923-1934 gg. Zapiski i stat’i (Paris: Gromada, 2004), 37. Makhno clearly had his own agenda, since the Bolsheviks repeatedly blamed him and his troops for a number of the Civil War pogroms, an accusation that he vigorously rejected. The question of antisemitism among Makhno’s troops is still deeply contested in the literature. Some, such as Shubin, argue that Makhno’s army was free of antisemitism, and wherever such cases did exist (and they were few and far between, argues Shubin), Makhno took strong measures against them. See A. Shubin, ‘The Makhnovist Movement and the National Question in the Ukraine, 1917-1921’, in Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World, 1970-1940. The Praxis of National Liberation, Internationalism and Social Revolution (London: Brill, 2010). However, in March 1935, the Jewish historian and chronicler of pogroms Elias Tcherikower wrote in a private correspondence: ‘There cannot be the slightest doubt that he [Makhno] is implicated in a series of pogroms. I have enough substantiated evidence in my archive to show that his men were exactly the same sort of bandits as all the others. Whether they perpetrated the pogroms with his permission or on their own initiative is difficult to say; either way – he is responsible … In some cases he sternly punished his men for individual pogrom-excesses. In many cases, however, no punishment was meted out for pogroms … For me it suffices to know that the ordinary Jew in Ukraine consistently held Makhno for a pogromist and that the fear of Makhno was immense.’ Tcherikower, Di Ukrainer Pogromen in Yor 1919, 348. I thank Lars Fischer for bringing this quote to my attention.

edit: Here’s a better explanation in the form of analogy

You live in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy. Suddenly, Jamaica announces that piracy is now decriminalized... what do you think is going to happen? The problem isn’t that they lack resources for plundering-addiction support groups to convince people to stop swashbuckling. Pirates don't want to stop looting and pillaging and swigging.

I am super sketched about by leftists who want to institute a whole bunch of rules about how people should live. I mean absolutely, smoking tobacco is a problem in society and we need to find some way to deal with that but why are you posting about it now. Those are the problems for later.

Also I fear that these people just really want to have the boot on the other foot.
