A few parallels as there is zero unit cost for both and the only value each has is what's afforded by laws the majority of people find unfair.
That's different; Ghandi was not demanding that people who labored to package salt and ship it to merchants give it to people for free. He protested taxes, which is a different thing entirely.

I get your point, but let me put it this way:

Ghandi would have been a fucking douche if what he did actually paralleled what these idiots are advocating (i.e., the situation described above).
