Socialism- A Warning Part 1 of 4

[SockMonkeyMilkshake]

There is nothing evil about a system which advocates equality and aims to meet the needs of all people. And it is an insult to the victims of Hitler's regime to say communism is more dangerous...if one makes such a statement, they should be ashamed.

I do agree with benson, the very people that will destroy the united states, will not be from the psychotic left and the progressive socialist, but the patriotic americans as well, the tea party movement has failed, the patriotic american of today is strictly nothing but front men of the republican party in which George Washington warned us of being loyal to political parties.

We are no longer in comparision to the America of 1860, we are now in comparision to America in 1861.

At 7:44 you say "Socialism derives its philosophy from the founders of communism, Marx and Engels." This is actually not true. Socialism finds its roots in the French Revolution in 1789, influenced in part by the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. All this pre-dated and even influenced the works of Marx and Engels themselves.

Communism can find it's roots to the greek philosipher, Socrates, so actually, we should give credit to Marx and Engles, they gave it a name, and ushered a century of revolutions and the wars and slaughter that followed.

I regret to inform the maker of this video that the image of Obama not putting his hand over his heart for the national anthem has nothing to do with an argument against Socialism, and is a completely unrelated part of this video (if it's purpose really is to show why Socialism is bad). Congrats on using a manipulative technique to make it look like you are proving a point.

"The United Order is not a communal system; it is not one under which all things are held in common" (p 813). The two systems are fundamentally different. What am I saying, I'm saying we had better be alerted to the advancement of Marxist-Communist revolutions happening right now. Look no further than Obama's Czars- Van Jones- avowed Communist, John Holdren, Cass Sunstein etc- who have Obama's ear and sympathy for a communist revolution! We're on a soul destroying path to communism.

"Communism is not the {law of consecration}, and bears only the most superficial resemblance thereto; communism is based upon intolerance and force, the United Order upon love and freedom of conscience and action; communism involves forceful despoliation and confiscation, the United Order voluntary consecration and sacrifice." "...Communism denies God and Christ.. runs counter to the moral the ethical standard of religion and decency; denies men their agency; (McConkie, Mormon Doct 151-152).

I find it hard to take seriously a warning about socialism/communism from the same church that promoted the law of consecration and currently hints at the same in their temple covenants. Lots of fluff from Benson too. Get to the point already, what are you trying to say?

As a people we love Jello. 40 percent of the worlds jello is consumed in Utah which is only 3 million people and thus about 1/2 of one percent of the world's population.

these are troubled times. But if I understand the prophecies correctly, it will be even more troubled.

This video is Scary! It is scary to see the warnings that were given to America so long ago and how they are now falling perfectly into place for destruction. This is the time when the nation needs to come together for the greater good and fight against this evil. My fear is that the evil is already within the hearts of the county and support evil.

thanks for the information video!!!!
