The Order of Enoch & the principles of modern Marxism Communism are as far apart as the poles.

There has been a tendency, however, to confuse the two.

Therefore a brief restatement of each system is being set forth as an aid in comparing them:

Communal ownership violates every instinct of human nature.

It can only survive in an atmosphere of a slave state.

The Order of Enoch has nothing in common with the principles of Karl Marx.

It was designed to give each member a partnership with God in the enjoyment of the wealth of the earth.

The Order of Enoch requires that those who become members in it accept the following (5) precepts as being true & self evident:

#1

All things in the earth belong to the Creator & that men are only the custodians of these resources & riches which He has placed upon the earth for the welfare of mankind.

(D&C 104:15-17; 55-57)

#2

The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man require that human beings look upon one another as members of the same family—the family of God.

That they are responsible for one another.

(D&C 104:18)

#3

In this family relationship each person is expected to do his share.

Each shall give what he has(labor,skill,etc) & in return recieve what he needs.

All have a place in the program except the idler. It is forbidden to give to those who could but would not work.

(D&C 42:42)

#4

Members shall take responsibility of giving education/assistance to those lacking in the ability/capacity to provide for themselves.

Not just charity for the poor, but a program to becoming self sustaining—obtaining the ultimate objective of having no poor.

(Moses 7:18)

#5

Private property and the dignity of the individual must be preserved.

According to his family, according to his circumstances, & his wants + his needs. (D&C 51:3)

Inasmuch his wants are just. (D&C 82:17)

Everything produced over/above the needs was to be donated.
