87. Gandhi won.
"A pioneer of satyagraha, or resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience—a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa, or total nonviolence—Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi

Nonviolence DOES work. If not for the agent provocateurs that have been causing trouble through violence against the wishes of the nonviolent protesters in OWS, OWS could have the same exact power as Gandhi's nonviolence...and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s nonviolence...and many others who have used nonviolence.

Nonviolence IS powerful and CAN win.
