[Buddha-l] Marx and Buddhism

Dear List,

for the whole discussion about Marx and Buddhism (not for this message, i'm replying) there comes one quotation in my mind:

Who in youth isn't a communist doesn't have heart.
Who in age still is a communist doesn't have reason.

-Oscar Heiler, German actor and comedian (deceased)
