I think you may be stuck in the 1970s, Dan. I have not seen much evidence of 
anti-capitalist leanings in Western Buddhists since about the time of the 
Watergate break-ins. It seems to me that most of us abandoned our visions of 
Communist Utopias at about the same time. As one of my old friends from the 
60s once put it "A lot of things changed when heroin became the drug of 
choice instead of LSD."
