All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. Edmund Burke.
I think Mr. Burke is trying to say that if good people do nothing, the evil will always win because no one will stop it. I strongly disagree. Sometimes evil is just plain better. Star Wars. The Dark Side is much more powerful than the light side. They were triumphing all throughout the movie because they were simply better. They built the death star. They destroyed planets. They killed thousands. Even though the deathstar was destroyed in the end, and their emperor was killed, that does not mean they lost. They effectively ran the galaxy for a good period. They caused all sorts of mayhem. I am sure they were satisfied with the results.
Gandhi also won with non-action.
