When Abdu’l-Baha wrote to Beatrice Irwin in 1914, he asked her to spread his warnings about a universal war as far as she possibly could.
World War I began in June of that year, when an assassin killed Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo in the Balkans, now better known as South East Europe. But that horrible war, which took 16 million lives, actually started many years before, when a whole host of European nations and kingdoms began accumulating large storehouses of weapons and ammunition in an unprecedented “defense” build-up. Frightened that their absolute rule might come to an end, many of Europe’s monarchs, oligarchs and tyrants spent their countries into near-bankruptcy to increase their armaments during that period.
But long before the unprecedented arms race of the late 19th Century began, Baha’u’llah warned the world’s political and religious leaders about their excessive spending, their elaborate preparations for war and the great injustice they perpetrated upon their peoples:
Lay not aside the fear of God, O kings of the earth, and beware that ye transgress not the bounds which the Almighty hath fixed. Observe the injunctions laid upon you in His Book, and take good heed not to overstep their limits. Be vigilant, that ye may not do injustice to anyone, be it to the extent of a grain of mustard seed. Tread ye the path of justice, for this, verily, is the straight path.
Compose your differences, and reduce your armaments, that the burden of your expenditures may be lightened, and that your minds and hearts may be tranquillized. Heal the dissensions that divide you, and ye will no longer be in need of any armaments except what the protection of your cities and territories demandeth. Fear ye God, and take heed not to outstrip the bounds of moderation, and be numbered among the extravagant.
We have learned that you are increasing your outlay every year, and are laying the burden thereof on your subjects. This, verily, is more than they can bear, and is a grievous injustice. – Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, pp. 250-251.

They warned us of communism too before it was tried and where it would end
The rise and fall of Communism:[18]
"...absolute equality is just as impossible, for absolute equality in fortunes, honors, commerce, agriculture, industry would end in disorderliness, in chaos, in disorganization of the means of existence, and in universal disappointment: the order of the community would be quite destroyed."
('Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 1904–6)
all of mans concepts will fail him in the blinding light of God's glory
he was very loving to send us warning of all these things
but man rarely listens
