@redchairman2: Red Shambhala is a term associated with esoteric and spiritual traditions that reinterpret the mythical Buddhist kingdom of Shambhala through a revolutionary or mystical lens. The phrase gained prominence from Andrei Znamenski's 2011 book Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia, which explores how early 20th-century Russian explorers, mystics, and revolutionaries merged Bolshevik ideals with Buddhist prophecies of a coming utopia. #redshambhala #communism #socialism #edit #fyp
