J Reuben Clark gave a talk on the United Order in 1942, as he was concerned that communist bishops were preaching that communism was bringing back the UO.
http://scriptures.byu.edu/gettalk.php?ID=43He says the morgbots were doing it wrong from Missouri onward.
Some of what he says is ridiculous and self-contradicting. I also recognized something I hear a lot from older TBMs: "The fundamental principle of [the United Order] is the private ownership of property."
Interestingly, the "Sacred Treasury" is where profits from IP go. "Another Treasury" is where cash gifts to the cult, profits of the members, and surplus after doling out the original property go.
Reading his description, I'd say that the United Order would be Stan's false counterfeit of communism if Stan was real.
Anyways, morgbots hate communism and love the UO because that's how they've been told to think. I doubt one in a hundred actually knows what Marxism is.
