More From Mahatma Gandhi

[t]he crucial question is not, as so many believe, whether property rights should be private or governmental, but rather whether the necessarily 'private' owners are legitimate owners or criminals. for ultimately, there is no entity called 'government'; there are only people forming themselves into groups called 'governments' and acting in a 'governmental' manner. all property is therefore always 'private'; the only and critical question is whether it should reside in the hands of criminals or of the proper and legitimate owners.

In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is obama in the united states of america. for me, i'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. the root cause of the terrorism is the stuff that you as a government allow to happen and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. and it's easy for us because it's really just some oil, which we can really get on our own.
Country Fighting Government
When i say that terrorism is war against civilization, i may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims -- national or regional independence, and so forth. i do not accept this argument. i cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. the impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil.

I am a mexican. the united states lived seventy-five years with the one party system in mexico - the pri - without batting an eyelid, never demanding democracy of mexico. democracy came because mexicans fought for democracy and made a democracy out of our history, our possibilities, our perspectives. democracy is not something that can be exported like coca-cola. it has to be bred from the inside, according to the culture, the conditions of each country.
Country Party Perspective
Democracy is never a thing done. democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. what is necessary now is one thing and one thing only, that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.

There is a limited elite that understands the secrets of their own techniques, but not necessarily of all techniques. these men are close to the seat of modern governmental power. the state is no longer founded on the 'average citizen', but on the ability and knowledge of this elite. the average man is altogether unable to penetrate technical secrets or governmental organization and consequently can exert no influence at all on the state.
