nicely shortened quotation. let's see a bit more context.
> Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one.
so you see a truce as a way to "help one side" instead of a way to not have more people die.
what an utterly rotten thought.
but let's continue with the article you linked (written in 1942!):
> As an ex-Indian civil servant, it always makes me shout with laughter to hear, for instance, Gandhi named as an example of the success of non-violence. As long as twenty years ago it was cynically admitted in Anglo-Indian circles that Gandhi was very useful to the British government. So he will be to the Japanese if they get there. Despotic governments can stand ‘moral force’ till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.
another warmonger, shouting with emotionless laughter about those who still have a soul.
india was independent in 1947.
