Gandhi and Satyagraha

You can read about Gandhi and the concept/practice of Satyagraha on the internet.

Satyagraha

I had to mention Satyagraha because of the previous post. I want to do something similar to that, in many ways, although I might not go with every single rule exactly. Part of Satyagraha is that you do not attack people who are seen as 'the enemy.' The goal is to persuade and convert them. You treat the individual people with respect even if you oppose what they stand for.

Again, these rules won't be taken as a word-for-word plan of the community/revolution that I imagine, but they give some general ideas.
