What is interesting to me in reading Karl Marx after Gandhi is the fact that both men had a very distinct goal. Marx and Gandhi seem to portray their goals and means of attaining these goals in a similar fashion. Both men assert their goals, explain a brief history of how civilization became corrupted into its current state, and provide a list of their most important points. However, Gandhi an Marx have severely different goals and values. Gandhi wants India to be free from the English and the grasp of Western ideas. He wants to abolish factories and education, placing all emphasis on religion. Gandhi explains the importance of Varnas and castes. Marx wants the proletariat class to rise above the bourgeoisie. He wants to extend the number of factories and instruments of production. He also wants free education for all children in public schools. Both men want equality, but they have different ideals and visions of how society should be.
