Mormons are Commies ("prove" me wrong)

Ahh, but if you look back at my very first post on this topic, my first line was:


So, we agree on this one.

Ruveyn the church official stays out of politics unless it feels that it goes against church doctrine. In the UK I know of Mormon local government politicians in many political parties, so its unfair to say that all mormons are a member of one political spectrum.

This is not like the case of most Jews are zionist but the haredim less so.
that is hard to parse the majority of the LDS church may well be republicans
but the truly devout this includes all the leadership swear oaths in temples
to the commune. this makes them communists with a little c and since they predate Marx
they are of course not marxists.
but the more mormon a body is the more he is a communist (with a little c)
with that said Mit from a 5 generation mormon family
and Glenn is a convert.

You kidding me? 150 years ago maybe. Modern mormons equate wealth with piety more than any other visible attribute.

MARX'S Communism wasn't just that the majority of people ("The working class") would welcome it, it was about the majority of people GAINING POWER AND ENACTING IT. According toe Marx's original theory, the Working Class (in a bottom-up, no central leader fashion) would gain control of the State Appartus and produce a classeless society. From that classeless society, in a state of perfect equality and voluntary associations, the State would whither away. So "pure" communism is stateless by definition (the transitionary period, where the working class has gained control of the State, is called "socialism"). The only difference between communists and leftwing anarchists is that leftwing anarachists want to abolish the state instantly, whereas communisms think the forces of classelessness will do the job. Things, of course, don't turn out as they do in theory.

ah but still the oath to the commune.
