Ghandi Rejected the Doubleness of Modern Politics

Ghandi's understanding shared with Marx and Engels the suspicion of that feature of modern political life as the organisation of modern society through politics that was inherently double. He didn't think you could compromise with an idea that had two faces to it, because he thought inevitably the bad would drive out the good. So in his case what he was warning against were attempts to compromise with British imperial rule. Ghandi also had almost more than Marx and Engels, a kind of prophetic sense of the power of that mechanical artificial society.
