I've mentioned this talk to a few of you but I thought I'd put it up here for everyone to see and hopefully read. It's a talk given to students at BYU by Ezra Taft Benson in 1977 concerning socialism. My dad showed it to me after someone at his work showed it to him, it's pretty interesting. It does make references to beliefs that are fairly specific to my faith, so for people that aren't LDS it may be a little harder to understand, but please don't take offense if you're not LDS and you read it, or if it doesn't coincide with your political beliefs, but I believe that these are true words spoken by a true modern day prophet of God to benefit the people of the world.
Here's the Talk

He's right - when you first look at the Law of Consecration, it looks an awful lot like communism/socialism/Marxism. Then you look closer, and you realize the two couldn't be any more separate and distinct.
Thank you for posting this! Especially with our current President, we need to be watching out for the evils of socialism.
