HE DOESN’T KNOW WHETHER THE RESULTS OF BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION IS GOOD FOR THE

CONT…
• 
As far as Gandhi’s ideas on Communism are concerned, though he
appreciated its ability to organize masses, he was disappointed that it leads
to the establishment of dictatorship.
• 
For a Gandhian, an alternative to communism is to establish a
society wherein the instruments of production are simple and that the common
man could play them in the villages
CONT..
• 
He wanted the capitalists and the landlords act as trustees
holding their wealth for the good of their villages, workers and the peasants.
|
He
further believed that is much easier to change an institution than |
|
|
|
|
|
a man. |

TRUSTEESHIP
CRITICISED. BY M.N. ROY |
•
•
Gandhi stated that rich cannot accumulate wealth without the
cooperation of the poor; and therefore, if the poor does not cooperate with the
rich they naturally mend their ways.
CONT..
•
According to Gandhi, for a real Swaraj to be established, it is
not that one class rule be substituted by the other. It is much more than that.
|
Gandhi strongly believed
that Western socialism and |
|
|
communism had a strong
sense of selfishness. |
