Non modo. ne... quidem.

The negative in ne quidem, when the predicate is common to both clauses, often extends its influence over the clause beginning with non modo.

ii. 20 ut... ista non modo homines, sed ne pecudes quidem mihi passurae esse videantur, 'so that I think not only men are not (supply non from ne quidem) likely to put up with such things, but not even brute beasts.

A simple method of translation is to render non modo by 'I do not say,' or to take the ne quidem clause first and translate non modo by much less.'

So in ii. 21 ul non modo ciritas, sed ne ricini quidem proximi sentiant, so that not even their nearest neighbours feel the shock, much less the State.'

i. 25 numquam tu non modo otium, sed ne bellum quidem nisi nefarium concupisti, 'you have never desired, I do not say peace, you have never even desired war save an unhallowed one.'

Note that in these last two instances the introducing negatives numquam and nemo are not cancelled by the following negatives in non modo (non), and ne quidem; the negative force is merely repeated.
