Q. One common agreement between Gandhism and Marxism is

  • the final goal of a stateless society
  • class struggle
  • abolition of private property
  • economic determinism

Answer: (a) the final goal of a stateless society

Notes:
  • A stateless society refers to a society that lacks formal institutions of government. According to Gandhi’s concept of Ramarajya, the state is a social order free from political bindings and consisting of self-governing individuals.
  • Marx also spoke of the stateless communist society. Karl Marx had predicted that the proletariats will take control of the state and production, destroy all class differences and class antagonisms, and finally resulting in the ‘withering away of the State’. Thus, the end result will be a stateless society.
