Buddhism certainly does not need slogans.
neither philosophycal entanglements; neither fear and/or believing in supranatural powerfull entities, nor beautiful idealisms about humankind that set us far from the understanding of reality and daily life facts... it is just needed the deep understanding of the nature of dukkha.

I can't see any kind of similarity between the oeuvre of Mark and Engels and the teachings of the historical Buddha exposed in the Pali Canon. The former talks about a tiny piece of an economic reality and the old debate about economy in accordance to humankind v.s. humankind in accordance to economy, until the later is about mind and the way it leads us to suffering. The deep understanding and realization of the Four Noble Truths are not in dependence of an economical model.

I don't know if Buddha taught: "Monks, to be contemplatives is in dependence of a Socialist system..."
