Comparative Political Ideologies

Evidence 1 and Inference 1 are contradictory. Because private property causes exploitation, Marxism advocates for public/state ownership, not privatization. The correct counterpart is that Marxism seeks the abolition of private property. Evidence 2 and Inference 2 are logically coherent. Liberalism champions competition over state-directed wealth distribution. Evidence 3 and Inference 3 are logically coherent. Gandhi envisioned a stateless society (Ramrajya) governed by self-regulation rather than state power.

The Assertion is factually accurate. Both ideologies culminate in a stateless society. Reason (R1) is correct and explains the assertion. Marx saw the State as a bourgeois tool, while Gandhi saw it as a soulless machine of violence. Reason (R2) is factually false. While Marx advocated for revolutionary overthrow, Gandhi strictly adhered to non-violence (Ahimsa) to achieve societal transformation.

Statement 1 is incorrect. Marxism demands public ownership of major resources, not just welfare regulation combined with corporate competition. The correct counterpart is that Marxism abolishes private corporate wealth. Statement 2 is correct. Modern liberalism acknowledges the need for a welfare net but strictly relies on free-market competition for primary resource distribution. Statement 3 is incorrect. Gandhism opposes unchecked corporate greed and industrial accumulation, favoring decentralized village economies.

Statement 1 is correct. Marxism identifies private property as the root of systemic exploitation. Statement 2 is incorrect. Liberalism asserts the exact opposite: free and fair competition is deemed the most just and efficient way to distribute rewards. The correct counterpart is that liberals favor competition over state-mandated equality. Statement 3 is correct. Gandhi's ideal state is essentially a stateless society based on enlightened anarchy.
