The man's legacy is inarguable. He knew how to achieve victory without force of arms. I submit that those of us who cannot are simply not as brave, as virtuous, as brilliant as that man.

I don't know if you've given it much thought, but "enlightenment principles" such as Ghandi's non-violent protest only work if your adversary is a reasonable, moral entity. That's why it worked with Britain, and that's why it worked in the U.S.
Dealing with a brutal self-serving tyrant in that manner will achieve nothing other than your own expeditious execution.
