Machinery enslaves man

Both Marx and Gandhi have similar thoughts with regards to machinery. Marx believes that "they (the proletariat) are daily and hourly enslaved by the machine..." (165) Gandhi's view is remarkably similar. He believes that machines or railroads actually detract from the over all progress of the nation, much like Marx states. These two similar views theorize that machines are taking away more than they are giving back to the nation. These parallel ideals have similar foundations as well. The foundation of both is meant to free the proletariat/ Indians form the overbearing actions of the bourgeois/English.
