I wouldn't refer to the character as a communist monk, I'd prefer egalitarian monk. The term communism, as we have seen here, carries immense political baggage which has nothing to do with the character concept espoused here.
Egalitarian - of , advocating, or characterized by the belief that all men should have equal political, social and economic rights.
I'd also vote for the Tao Te Ching.
#68 Good Warriors
Good warriors do not arm,
good fighters don't get mad,
good winners don't contend,
good employers serve their workers.

this is called mating with the supremely natural and pristine.
