    The Western media always says that he was a peaceful man and we should be like him. When I became a Marxist, I started to see his methods as ineffective but Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I never knew he was that bad.

      Becoming a Marxist shows you that Gandhi was a villain that is propped up by the west in the name of non-violence

      Weirdly, Gandhi supported violence when he volunteered Indian men to fight for the British military in Africa.

      Make your libs read How to Blow Up a Pipeline, which really should be called “Why Nonviolence Is Shit and Has Never Worked”

      Reading about history was my road to Marxism.

      Reading the history of India's decolonization and the use of violent opposition, in particular, was a major moment for me.

      When I first saw this quote, it really put into perspective why non-violence is held as the only option by the hegemon.
