Honest question: If Siddhartha found that all of life abounds to suffering caused by selfish craving for one's own fulfillment at the expense of others & that following an "eight step plan" can reduce the craving, & thus reduce the suffering, wouldn't a communist society that actually worked (regardless of history, as we all know communisms past) be the most ideal?
Maybe even only a Socialist society would be best?
I'm assuming Sup Forums is least likely to care for interpretation of Buddhist practice, but just a thought that came to me & I wasn't sure where else to look for discussion.

Well, it's quite obvious that communism is more Buddhist than capitalism, since the goal of communism is elimination of (at least some part of ) suffering, while anticommunism claims it a necessity.

Problem is communism doesn't work, humans simply are incapable of making it work as it relies too heavily on everyone all wanting the same things.
Lucas Clark
So we are all just too dumb to be truly happy? Communism is the ultimate choice, but we are too stupid?
This makes the majority of Sup Forums steep lower than retarded, the true redpilled way would be to acknowledge the superiority of Communism, but understand that the human race is too dumb for it rather than denounce it entirely.
Amazing

nice idea, but marxism just like aall other socialist ideas are deeply christian
living in christian paradigma the ideologists of communism could not think of another way of humanity to develop than FORWARD to build heaven on earth, thats why they both conflict with religious people (they share electorate) and work together with them (they want to end the kingdom of sin on earth)
capitalism on the other hand is truly religious free, born in protestant countries where nothing truly christian was left but the ethics they had to throw away this little bit to become what they are today - liberal identity-politics selfhating creatures
when you take out christianity of capitalism it ruins itself and tends to build eternal earth kingdom - the pagan paradigma

You are one stupid motherfucker. Communism is completely anti-Christian. It's atheist in its nature. Communism is the eradication of all religion and a complete worship of government. And communism was created by the jews who hate Christians and Jesus Christ.

>serious discussion
oh please, if you are not a shill, them kill yourself for being this moronic
communists are shallow empty people, who ironically care only about the spoils of society. Every commie I ve meet, is into buying new smartphones, clothes, and bullshit. Ive never seen a communist have a simplistic humble life, every commie leader is always personally shit loaded with money stolen from the people, and every commie starts out as a privileged college kid. Mao was the only peasant to rise to power and he fucked up the same as all other.
You people dont even know where you are standing.
The day when a commie comes preaching about Buddhism and deeper meaning.....
kill yourself buddy, seriously
Nathan Lee
you are a fucking retard but that isnt surprising given that you are advocating communism
