^ Yes. I thought it was a bit confused. It begins broadly opposed to mixing Buddhism and politics and ends in the third-last paragraph with:

Among other things, He condemned the caste system, recognized the equality of people, spoke on the need to improve socio-economic conditions, recognized the importance of a more equitable distribution of wealth among the rich and the poor, raised the status of women, recommended the incorporation of humanism in government and administration, and taught that a society should not be run by greed but with consideration and compassion for the people. If the author wants to make a point about bringing the right motives to political engagement, I agree entirely but I'm not 100% certain that that was his intention.
