The phrase "'''Man's inhumanity to man'''" is first documented in the [[Robert Burns]] poem called ''Man was made to mourn: A Dirge'' in 1784. It is possible that Burns reworded a similar quote from [[Samuel von Pufendorf]] who in 1673 wrote, "More inhumanity has been done by man himself than any other of nature's causes."

Many and sharp the num'rous ills<br/>

Inwoven with our frame!<br/>

More pointed still we make ourselves<br/>

Regret, remorse, and shame!<br/>

And man, whose heav'n-erected face<br/>

The smiles of love adorn, – <br/>

Man's inhumanity to man<br/>

Makes countless thousands mourn!<br/>

===In reference to socialism in the 20th century===

“The inhumanity of socialism as described by Edward Adams in 1913 has proven, that more inhumanity to man, since 1918, has been done in the name of socialism than any other cause. Dick Carpenter”

Note: <br/>

Apparently this “The inhumanity of” comment is in reference to a 5 Dec 1913 paper entitled “THE INHUMANITY OF SOCIALISM” By Edward Francis Adams. See: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5624/5624-h/5624-h.htm <br/>

In turn the 1913 paper references a 1907 work which was reprinted on 10 Sept 2010. <br/>
