The Russian Revoluton: 1905
First, evaluate Marx and Engels’ plan for closing the economic gap by nationalizing the “means of production” and putting them under the control of the workers. Secondly, comment on the following statement: “People would voluntarily work for the common good, and as more nations saw the ‘perfect society,’ they would all convert to communism. Eventually all national governments would be eliminated and wars would cease.” The following verses of Scripture may be helpful: Exodus 20: 15, 17; Romans 1:29-31; Romans 5:11-13; Romans 13:1-7; Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8. Be sure to read for broad principles, not just specific details.
