Well, most people who become Buddhists are westerners who aren’t following true Buddhism and make no effort to actually practice it. Similarly, most marxists are middle class kids who think they are revolutionaries but cause no meaningful change in any way.
So yeah, become a Marxist Buddhist, you western boy. I’m a Marxist Buddhist Primitivist Gnostic Occultist Traditionalist Catholic Nationalist Socialist Neopagan Bolshevik, and I’m having a great time!

Liberals are basically parodying themselves at this point. You are not a marxist and you are not a buddhist. You are an idiotic social democrat urbanite.
Let me guess, you are "not religious but spiritual."

How can you castrate yourself and butt fuck? You'd need to find a non-castrated person, who would have to be a capitalist. So peak communism is becoming a tranny and getting fucked by capitalists (presumably in exchange for money with which to fund their commune)?

"Being a Buddhist" is a murky thing. Can you be enlightened and be a Marxist? No. Buddhism is anti-materialist. But Buddhism isn't an "all or nothing" affair, there're no thoughts like "either you dedicate your life to it and renounce your worldy possessions or you're a poser" in it. Buddhism is something you practice to the degree you decide for yourself. You can absolutely be a Marxist and practice Buddhist mental discipline, there's no conflict there.
