112. No, actually...
Gandhi was an anarchist, not a liberal. He was against all forms of violence, and he saw government as being inherently coercive. He also believed that a peaceful, free, and just world could not be brought about by new forms of government ruling people, but rather by people changing their own consciousness and becoming their own rulers, guided by the principle of ahimsa.

But if he was alive and living in America today, I bet he'd vote for Obama.

GoBama! Anarchists for peace!
