Is Communism in the Church of Jesus Christ Later Day Saints? |
[Edit] |
Answer
No, in fact, the "LDS" church is a relatively conservative organization and was very anti-communist when communism was an issue.
Some confuse a religious practice of early mormonism with "communism". Early mormonism had a group that was assigned to practice what they called the "united order". That group shared all resources, had communal crops, were given according to their needs and generally proved that communism would never work. The mormon practice of the unted order differed from communism: communism was anti-religion and used extreme tactics to keep their people in line. Mormonism used their religious beliefs to get people to commit to their social experiment.
