The ukrainian peasants opportunistically supported Makhno because they thought he'd not conscript or requisition their grain like the Bolsheviks had to, and that they would get to keep their land without being subservient to the bourgeoise like the white army wanted.

But once War Communism began to end and Makhno had started doing the exact same shit as the Red army by necessity they stopped giving a fuck, there is no correlation between Makhno getting victory royaled and kulaks burning their grain and cattle.
