Regarding "politics without principle", Gandhi said
having politics without truth(s) to justly dictate the action creates
chaos, which ultimately leads to violence. Gandhi called these missteps
"passive violence," ‘which fuels the active violence of crime,
rebellion, and war.’ He said, "We could work 'til doomsday to achieve
peace and would get nowhere as long as we ignore passive violence in our
world."
Politics
is literally defined as, "The struggle in any group for power that will
give one or more persons the ability to make decisions for the larger
group."
