Marxs and Buddha by
Ambedkar
Dr. Varadraj Bapat
IIT Mumbai
• Ambedkar presented a perceptive
critique of Marxism in his essay,
"Buddha or Karl Marx” 1956
• http://www.ambedkar.org/ambcd/20.Buddha%20or%2
0Karl%20Marx.htm
The Russians are proud of their Communism. But
they forget that the wonder of all wonders is that
the Buddha established Communism so far as
the Sangh was concerned without dictatorship. It
may be that it was a communism on a very small
scale but it was communism without dictatorship a
miracle which Lenin failed to do.
The Buddha's method was different. His
method was to change the mind of man: to alter
his disposition: so that whatever man does, he
does it voluntarily without the use of force or
compulsion. His main means to alter the
disposition of men was his Dhamma and the
constant preaching of his Dhamma.
The Buddhas way was not to force people to do
what they did not like to do although it was
good for them. His way was to alter the
disposition of men so that they would do
voluntarily what they would not otherwise to do.
It has been claimed that the Communist Dictatorship in
Russia has wonderful achievements to its credit. There
can be no denial of it. That is why I say that a Russian
Dictatorship would be good for all backward countries.
But this is no argument for permanent Dictatorship.
Humanity does not only want economic values, it also
wants spiritual values to be retained. Permanent
Dictatorship has paid no attention to spiritual values
and does not seem to intend to. For man needs
material comforts But the Communist Philosophy
seems to be equally wrong for the aim of their
philosophy seems to be fatten pigs as though men are
no better than pigs. Man must grow materially as well
as spiritually.
Buddha or Karl Marx
• Such is the gospel the Buddha enunciated as
a result of his enlightenment to end the
sorrow and misery in the world.
• It is clear that the means adopted by the
Buddha were to convert a man by changing
his moral disposition to follow the path
voluntarily.
• The means adopted by the Communists are
equally clear, short and swift. They are (1)
Violence and (2) Dictatorship of the
Proletariat.
"Buddha or Karl Marx“.
• Society has been aiming to lay a new foundation
was summarised by the French Revolution in
three words, Fraternity, Liberty and Equality. The
French Revolution was welcomed because of this
slogan. It failed to produce equality. We welcome
the Russian Revolution because it aims to
produce equality. But it cannot be too much
emphasised that in producing equality society
cannot afford to sacrifice fraternity or liberty.
Equality will be of no value without fraternity or
liberty. It seems that the three can coexist only if
one follows the way of the Buddha. Communism
can give one but not all.

Ambedkar buddha or karl marx

  • 1. Marxs and Buddha by Ambedkar Dr. Varadraj Bapat IIT Mumbai
  • 2. • Ambedkar presented a perceptive critique of Marxism in his essay, "Buddha or Karl Marx” 1956 • http://www.ambedkar.org/ambcd/20.Buddha%20or%2 0Karl%20Marx.htm The Russians are proud of their Communism. But they forget that the wonder of all wonders is that the Buddha established Communism so far as the Sangh was concerned without dictatorship. It may be that it was a communism on a very small scale but it was communism without dictatorship a miracle which Lenin failed to do.
  • 3. The Buddha's method was different. His method was to change the mind of man: to alter his disposition: so that whatever man does, he does it voluntarily without the use of force or compulsion. His main means to alter the disposition of men was his Dhamma and the constant preaching of his Dhamma. The Buddhas way was not to force people to do what they did not like to do although it was good for them. His way was to alter the disposition of men so that they would do voluntarily what they would not otherwise to do.
  • 4. It has been claimed that the Communist Dictatorship in Russia has wonderful achievements to its credit. There can be no denial of it. That is why I say that a Russian Dictatorship would be good for all backward countries. But this is no argument for permanent Dictatorship. Humanity does not only want economic values, it also wants spiritual values to be retained. Permanent Dictatorship has paid no attention to spiritual values and does not seem to intend to. For man needs material comforts But the Communist Philosophy seems to be equally wrong for the aim of their philosophy seems to be fatten pigs as though men are no better than pigs. Man must grow materially as well as spiritually.
  • 5. Buddha or Karl Marx • Such is the gospel the Buddha enunciated as a result of his enlightenment to end the sorrow and misery in the world. • It is clear that the means adopted by the Buddha were to convert a man by changing his moral disposition to follow the path voluntarily. • The means adopted by the Communists are equally clear, short and swift. They are (1) Violence and (2) Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
  • 6. "Buddha or Karl Marx“. • Society has been aiming to lay a new foundation was summarised by the French Revolution in three words, Fraternity, Liberty and Equality. The French Revolution was welcomed because of this slogan. It failed to produce equality. We welcome the Russian Revolution because it aims to produce equality. But it cannot be too much emphasised that in producing equality society cannot afford to sacrifice fraternity or liberty. Equality will be of no value without fraternity or liberty. It seems that the three can coexist only if one follows the way of the Buddha. Communism can give one but not all.
