“Gandhi, OTOH... made salt.”

Ghandi was a de facto commie.

Ghandi got rid of the British in India, thus freeing the Muslims to express their inner savage and Pakistan was the result.

So far, the socialism of Ghandi has done more damage to India than the British ever could have done - even had they ruled the place until Christ returned.

Socialism is destructive.

PS read SHEMITTA and then pass it along to your friends. PPS Don’t forget tomprint our Patric Henry “Ratified” for all you know.

Typo correction time.

“tomprint” should be “to print”, and Partic” should be “Patrick”.

>>Ghandi was a de facto commie.

Regardless of his ideology, the point of interest is his clever and successful strategy in using the strength of the adversary against it.

In this case, the exploited strength was the British desire to be perceived, and to perceive itself, as moral.

The British could only go so far in the suppression of Gandhi’s salt making before it was in danger of losing that moral perception.

Obviously this tactic wouldn’t have worked against someone like the Nazis or the Soviets.
