Ghandi developed this list as he contemplated the origins of violence. He felt these were examples of passive violence.

I agree with all but "worship without sacrifice". What's the point of sacrifice to show that you love your god? There's no train of logic from "worship without sacrifice" to "the roots of violence". It could be argued that worship alone is a root of violence, and sacrifice can definitely be violent, especially if you ask the virgins who are sacrificed.

Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Mahatma Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, not too long before his assassination. The seven blunders are: * Wealth without work * Pleasure without conscience * Knowledge without character * Commerce without morality * Science without humanity * Worship without sacrifice * Politics without principle This list grew from Gandhi's search for the roots of violence. He called these acts of passive violence. Preventing these is the best way to prevent oneself or one's society from reaching a point of violence. To this list, Arun Gandhi added an eighth blunder, Rights without responsibilities.

From the page: "Science without humanity"

* Wealth without work
* Pleasure without conscience
* Knowledge without character
* Commerce without morality
* Science without humanity
* Worship without sacrifice
* Politics without principle

*1 seems, increasingly, to be the norm today. Although what this has to do with 'communists, socialists and statist(sic) nutcases(sic) I really don't know.
(see earlier reviews) Seems more descriptive of so-called celebrities, premiership footballers and company executives.

A surprisingly very centrist (politically) list!
