Gandhi argued labour lacked the intelligence to dictate to capital

Evidence

But when labour comes fully to realise its strength, I know it can become more tyrannical than capital. The mill-owners will have to work on the terms dictated by labour, if the latter could command the intelligence of the former. It is clear, however, that labour will never attain to that intelligence … It would be suicidal if the labourers rely upon their numbers or brute-force, i.e., violence. By doing so they would do harm to industries in the country. If on the other hand they take their stand on pure justice and suffer in their person to secure it, not only will they always succeed but they will reform their masters, develop industries, and both masters and men will be as members of one and the same family. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 346

• XREF: Connects to Ambedkar’s point that Gandhi preached an idealised interdependence echoing the varna system’s organic-harmony myth.
• QUESTION: Worth tracing whether this specific argument maps onto Gandhi’s varna-based opposition to inter-caste competition.
