Hrm -- this seems a little too... nihilistic? I mean, I agree, the system is highly flawed and quite possibly broken, but it's the system we live in. If we don't like the system, we can either withdraw from it completely, as you're advocating, or at least try to change it for the better. If you withdraw, it's only going to get worse.
- VladRussian 16y agoIt seems Gandhi didn't think so.
- anamax 16y agoWhat was Gandi's big success? He had four big campaigns. One was Hindu-Muslim unity. Another was to block the import (into India) of British textiles. The third was ending "untouchability". The fourth was to get the UK out of India. The latter succeeded, but since the UK couldn't afford to be in India and its PM at the time was an anti-Imperialist, it's unclear how much effect Gandi had. As to the others .... However, he does get good press.

I didn't advocate withdrawing from the system, I advocated reducing the system. If you don't let govt pick winners and losers, you don't have to worry about how it does so.
