  Ezra Taft Benson (1964). “Title of liberty”

• There are some who apparently feel that the fight for freedom is separate from the Gospel. They express it in several ways, but it generally boils down to this: Just live the gospel; there's no need to get involved in trying to save freedom and the Constitution or stop communism....

No we should not, because our stand for freedom is a most basic part of our religion.

• We believe in a moral code. Communism denies innate right or wrong. As W. Cleon Skousen has said in his timely book, The Naked Communist: The communist 'has convinced himself that nothing is evil which answers the call of expediency.' This is a most damnable doctrine.

This is in keeping with the Prophet Joseph Smith's motto, "When the Lord commands, do it."
