Jonestown was founded as a communist utopia obsessed with "social justice". Jim Jones believed that America was an evil capitalist empire founded on racism. Jim Jones campaigned with Jimmy Carter's wife on behalf of prominent Democrats during the 1970s. He was praised by Willie Brown, Walter Mondale, Jane Fonda, and many others.
Here is a video of Jim Jones where he says:
"The only thing that brings perfect justice, freedom, and equality, perfect love in all its beauty and holiness is socialism, socialism, socialism!"
Here is a video of Jim Jones and his progressive followers singing the Soviet Union national anthem.
"Willie Brown, longtime speaker of the California state assembly, a mayor of San Francisco, and the mentor of Senator Kamala Harris, was especially lavish in his praise of Jones, calling him "a combination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Angela Davis, Albert Einstein, and Chairman Mao."

"Jerry Brown, California governor then as now, actually spoke at Peoples Temple. George Moscone, who owed his position as mayor of San Francisco to Jones, appointed Jones to San Francisco’s Housing Authority Commission, where he quickly became chairman.
Left-wing lawyers Charles Garry and Mark Lane depicted Jonestown as a paradise and aggressively defended Jones in the media. Jane Fonda joined other luminaries in expressing that she was “familiar with the work of Reverend Jones and Peoples Temple and have no hesitancy in commending them for their example in setting a high standard of ethics and morality.”
Herb Caen, a Pulitzer Prize winner who long served as one of San Francisco’s most admired newspaper writers, acted as a hype-generator for Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple.
The local enthusiasm for Jim Jones proved contagious for national Democrats. Rosalynn Carter called Jones at her husband’s behest. She held a private meeting with him, put him in touch with sister-in-law Ruth Carter Stapleton, and had the Peoples Temple leader introduce her at a 1976 campaign event.
Jimmy Carter’s running mate, Walter Mondale, met with Jones on the tarmac in San Francisco."
"He preached the gospel according to Karl Marx. “I call capitalism the devil,” Jones said from the pulpit, “and socialism is God.” The Symbionese Liberation Army, Jones maintained, “moved us a little closer to change.”
Upon a pilgrimage to Cuba, Jones claimed through his newspaper that the island-prison had succeeded in abolishing racism, but he criticized it for not providing enough “freedom of choice” on abortion — a Temple commandment for women who became pregnant. “My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,” he told parishioners. “No, my country ’tis of thee, terrible land of inequity, that’s what it is.”
Here is a tape of Jim Jones speaking. Some people had the audacity to not only voice their disapproval, except actually resist when ordered to feed the poison to their children. This was after they had been hearing more and more children screaming in agony and terror before dying. You can hear Jim Jones say at the 36:00 mark:
"This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity. ::: I call on you to quit exciting your children, when all they're doing is going to a quiet rest."
Here is a quote where Jim Jones was bragging that he was such a master manipulator that he actually used the church to bring people to atheism and communism. He claims that a visiting representative of the government of the Soviet Union was "spellbound" and allegedly stated:
"Jim Jones took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism and the study of communism!"
In order to join the cult, you had to renounce all your personal property and surrender it to the community. Here's a tape of Jim Jones demanding personal property lists to ensure "sharing" amongst the community. Anyone not agreeing to equal sharing of property was guilty of "theft".

How San Francisco’s Democrats made Jim Jones, and then made his memory vanish - Washington Examiner
Do you remember that time the entire Democratic Party in California behaved like cultists, enraptured by Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones? If you lived through the bizarre suicides of 918 people in Guyana on Nov. 18, 1978, it’s hard not to remember where you were when you heard the news. It would...
