If I may, the concentrated attack against izen is simply a result of misunderstanding/misreading his post. Nowhere has he claimed that 'Buddha is actually a Maoist'. By referencing Buddha, as I understand, he/she was simply made a point that the Maoists are not 'as bad' at least in theory as we have been made to believe or come to believe. And that if hypothetically Buddha was actually around, he could have seen a reason as to why such insurgency took place in the first. A common-man by now is able to understand what Maoists are, why they do the things they do and would not need an avatar like Buddha for that.
