Is it possible today to have “all things common,” with no rich and no poor?

Thomas R. Valletta

“We may not yet be the Zion of which our prophets foretold … , but we long for it and we keep working toward it. I do not know whether a full implementation of such a society can be realized until Christ comes, but I know that when He did come to the Nephites, His majestic teachings … led to the happiest of all times, a time in which ‘ … they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor. … ’ That blessed circumstance was, I suppose, achieved on only one other occasion of which we know—the city of Enoch [see Moses 7:21]” (Holland, “Handful of Meal and a Little Oil,” 30).
