Buddhism is about treating all people equally - in Marxism some people are more equal than others, e.g. rule of the proletariat or rule by the party. Buddhism is also not so interested in materialism but sees suffering in addition to the suffering of poverty or of the exploited. Buddhism teaches tolerance, respect, compassion - Marxism talks about class warfare and purges.

It is true that both philosophies have as an objective to end suffering but the means are very different and hence the results.
