As you can see from the content of the BMA (UK) website – there are plenty of comparisons to be had between Buddhism and Marxism. This is the correct dialectical position and we must not permit revisionism or Trotskyism to stand in our way. Others have perceived such a connection – but I have spent many years quietly travelling to Buddhist countries, studying the Buddhist texts, sat in meditation, and navigating the labyrinth that is Socialism and Communism. This is a journey we must all go on (in our own way) to develop this pristine view. It is not “religious” – but the result of the stripping away of religion. This has included bypassing all the dialectical errors that have occurred in the understanding and deployment of Marxist Thought throughout the years. There is “no blame” – but merely getting on with what needs to be done.
