Socialists around the world never fail to use the name of Mohandas Gandhi to push their agenda. However, Gandhi was far from being a leftist, and his political positions were in direct opposition to the left.

In his autobiography, Jawaharlal Nehru lamented that Gandhi put up with capitalism but considered socialism as an inherently violent system. He added that when Gandhi used the word socialist to describe himself, he intended it as a peculiar form of muddled humanitarianism and did not mean it in the economic sense. According to Nehru, Gandhis opposition to the economic ideas of socialism did not result from the ignorance of the subject as Gandhi had read many books on economics and socialism and even Marxism, and [had] discussed it with others.

Economics is not the only field where Gandhis ideas clash with those of the left. Socialists in western countries are obsessed with the issue of abortion to such an extent that it is one of the main issues which define them. According to the socialists, the inferior status of women in western societies is the result of women giving birth to babies and women should undergo abortions in order to blunt the advantage of men and become their equals. This argument has taken deep root in western countries where millions of infants are killed every year with a large number of these deaths classified as live birth abortions. Gandhi wrote of the practice of abortion in Young India, It seems to me clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.

Yet another issue which highlights the differences between Gandhi and the leftists is the right to own weapons. While the left wants to outlaw guns in general with only the communists entitled to the ownership of guns, Gandhi stated in his autobiography that depriving the whole nation of arms was the blackest law passed by the British.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gandhian Socialism--Decentralization of political and economical power, a skeptical approach towards technology and large scale industrialization with an emphasis on selfemployment and self-reliance are key features of Gandhian Socialism.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Indias history books in the past sixty years have been written by Marxists, and Gandhis views have been distorted to fit in with the Marxist agenda. These books suppress Gandhis views on Marxism and socialism and instead present a sanitized version of history with Gandhi merely as a hero to be worshiped before invoking the doctrine of socialism. Instead of deifying Gandhi as a Mahatma and blindly worshiping him, Indians would do well to objectively examine his works and understand his political views.
