Why I want to meet Mahatma Gandhi
I want to meet him and ask him what he would have proposed as the proper solution to the Holocaust if not using violence to stop it.
Many people seem to think he advocated non-violence at all costs. But from reading alot from & about him, it seems he only advocated that route when it was the only thing that would work. I want to ask him to tell people that when you’re facing true evil and the only way to stop it is through violence, you have an obligation to use power, including violence if necessary, to stop that evil taking place. Not evil like corporations, but evil as in genocide & massacres & dictators who slaughter their people.
I think many of today’s leaders would have sat around making “resolutions” during WWII instead of stopping the Nazis. And we’d still be waiting for the UN secretary general to discuss the latest deadline for imposing sanctions on Nazi Germany.
