Yes, politics has nothing to do with theosophy.  Individual theosophists may
choose their own way to act in the world, but the Theosophical Movement must
always follow the three objects laid down by HPB (as its messenger).  Check
the article HPB wrote on this same subject, or the answer she gave in the Key
to Theosophy.  Even what she did in her "personal" life had nothing to do with
theosophy--which is simply the source of divine wisdom.  What one does,
personally, with it (or without it) has no relation to it's teachers, its
societies, its lodges, or the Movement itself.
