Noncooperation is intended to pave the way to real, honorable and voluntary cooperation based on mutual respect and trust. The avowed policy of Non-cooperation has been not to make political use of disputes between labor and capital. Noncooperation is not a hymn of hate. My Non-cooperation is with methods and systems, never with men. Nonviolence is the rock on which the whole structure of Non-cooperation is built.
Passive resistance is a misnomer for nonviolent resistance.
Passive resistance, unlike nonviolence, has no power to change men' s hearts. The sword of passive resistance does not require a scabbard. Jesus Christ, Daniel, and Socrates represented the purest form of passive resistance or soul force. My patriotism is not an exclusive thing. It is all-embracing, and I should reject that patriotism which sought to mount the distress or exploitation of other nationalities.
