“No true Latter-day Saint can be a Communist or a Socialist because Communist principles run counter to the revealed word of God and to the Constitution of this land which was established by men whom the God of Heaven raised up unto that very purpose.”
“Communism is turning out to be the earthly image of the plan which Satan presented in the pre-existence. The whole program of socialistic-communism is essentially a war against God and the plan of salvation—the very plan which we fought to uphold during ‘the war in heaven.’” - Ezra Taft Benson, 1961

🗣️ President David O. In McKay called communism “the greatest satanical threat to peace, prosperity, and the spread of God’s work among men that exists on the face of the earth.” He taught that it “destroys man’s God-given free agency.” (1966) 📖

⚔️ The war in heaven was fought over agency: free choice (Christ’s plan) vs. forced obedience (Lucifer’s plan). That conflict continues on earth. 🔥

⚖️ In LDS doctrine, moral agency is the central issue of the gospel. The plan of salvation requires free choice. Systems of coercion and state control over the individual are fundamentally opposed to it. 🕊️

We are children of God. He loves each of us and desires that we live in peace and unity.
Though we come from different nations and cultures, we can be united as children of God.
At this year’s Luz de las Naciones performance, I saw a beautiful example of our unity as children of God. Volunteer performers shared their talents through music, dance, and cultural traditions from many lands—testifying of the joy that comes from our divine heritage.
As we follow the Savior and keep His commandments, we can bring His light and peace into our homes, communities, and relationships.
With love,
President Oaks
