What is the relationship between Osho's teachings and communism compared to J. Krishnamurti?

definition
"True intelligence fosters equality and abundance, but it transcends dogma and coercion; it transforms the outer world while keeping the inner thought free."
According to Osho, any truly intelligent person is ‘communist’ only in the sense of fostering equality and equal opportunity; he supports abundance that enables religion while rejecting Marxist dogma, coercion, and all isms. Compared to J. Krishnamurti’s purely non-ideological stance, Osho also emphasizes transforming outer structures (even no private property) to catalyze inner awakening—yet insists thought remain free.
He favors equality-based communism without dogma, seeing prosperity as a base for spirituality, and—unlike Krishnamurti—links inner freedom with building an equal society.
