the russians do not seem to be paying any attention to buddhism as an ultimate aid to sustain communism when force is withdrawn.... 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 dectatorship would be good for all the backward countries. but this is no argument for permanent dictatorship. humanities 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. carlyle called political economy a pig philosophy. carlyle was of course wrong. for man needs material comforts.but the communist philosophy seems to be equally wrong for the aim of their philosophy seems to fatten pigs as though men are no better than pigs. man must grow materially as well as spirutialy.society has been aiming to lay a new foundation was summarized by the french revolution in three words, fraternity, librty, 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 emphasized that in producing equality society can not afford to sacrifice fraternity or liberty.equality will be of no value without fraternity or liberty.it seems that the three can co-exist only if one follows buddha. communism can give one but not all. babasaheb ambedkar, BAWS vol. 3; pp. 461-462. वरील परीच्चेदाचा आंबेडकर अनुयायी काय अर्थ लाऊ शकतात?
