Here I must agree with Apostate, (mind you, were I to say such a thing on that site, I would no doubt be condemned for my "unfriendly" words and "negative" outlook...).
The pamphlet, "A new Economic Policy" was one of David's first (and subsequently only?) attempts to branch out beyond the simpllistic, theories of David BERG that he had originally adopted for himself (...at the return of Christ the TRUE Christians (excluding most people in established churches) would be appointed to various administrative positions in a new world Govt, autocratically headed by Christ)...
...David regurgitated some standard "communist placebos" pretending that the ideas somehow originated with him.....(e.g. the public would be "inspired" to work by the " nobliity" of the greater cause that they struggle for.....) without looking whatsoever, at the form a responsible and representative Govt might take, or how the Separation of Powers, Rule of Law and other fundamental principals might be protected (or interestingly from my perspective whether or not Christ, would "incorporate" existing Law and Legal Precedent into the new "Kingdom", however here I diverge).....
...basically David just doesn't have a clue...and it is difficult for him to impress anyone with much of an education.
I have said a number of times, that I'd now consider David, self absorbed enough to "kill" if God forbid, he ever had such political power....and I think the "killing fields" is an accurate allegory for the political system that David would aspire to if he could....He holds himself above the "Law"...and above the "Scripture" really (if you can recall his comment that as Jesus Christians live by the "spirit" of the Bible, they may sometimes infringe it's "letter...."....)
He would hence run his kingdom by personal fiat, in an autocracy of "life long peerage" for a chosen few (that is, those who were wise enough to understand never to question their ordained "ruler")....over the inconsequential masses, devoid of any natural rights...
Oh Malcolm, you are so full of hate. Can't you think of one nice thing to write about poor Dave? (tongue firmly in cheek)
Here's what I think ought to be the new JC theme song.
JESUS WAS A TERRORIST
by Jello Biafra

Jesus was a terrorist
Enemy of the state
That's what the Romans labeled him
So he was put to death
He died for his beliefs
What's changed today?
Today bible-thumping cannibals
Reap money from his name
Buy cable networks & power
With old ladies' checks
If Jesus saw Pat Robertson
What do you think he'd say?
Tax free then re-write our laws
And sick 'em on you
Women don't control their bodies
TV preachers do
Censor everything from bathing suits
To science books
From the schoolroom to the bedroom
They want our thoughts - or else
They treat us like the Romans
Used to treat the Christians
Even some church-going folks are scared
Modern catacombs of fear
Built with money, power, and threats
Rock 'n Roll is labeled porn
Sell a record, you're under arrest
Instead of fighting AIDS
They try to stop us having sex
They brag that they won't quit
Till they take dominion over our lives
Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act
Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat
Believe what you want
But we'll fight to keep
Our heads from being cemented in your sand
