Weaknesses?

Gandhi is a Great Leader but not a Good Leader.

Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

Addressed Hitler as “my friend” Envisioned Nazism as a non-violent struggle aimed at convincing rather than destroying
