History

The first Buddhist Socialist was Uchiyama Gudō. He was both a priest and a social activist. Ever since his time, several Buddhist socialists were elected in various Buddhist countries.

Laos

Kaysone Phomvihane Thought builds upon Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought developed by Kaysone Phomvihane, the first leader of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and is a variant of Marxism-Leninism adapted to circumstances and special time periods of Laos. It includes views on the issues of basic principles of the Laotian Revolution, specifically the application and development of Marxism-Leninism to the material conditions of Laos.
