John was a commie most definitely
its nothing new that they imprison those that speak the truth, he even told you way back then
John Lenin is communist scum
Just like a lot of other people, I believe he went through a transformation.
This honestly sounds more like your typical anti-authority musician nonsense than anything hinting at knowledge of inner workings. Basically what I'd expect from someone like Lennon, a lifelong @$$hole.
Is it. Being a communist to want fairness in life? Not want extremes where some die of starvation while others spend obscene amounts on a boat or a car? Is it wrong to want equality?
To be able to visit other countries without yards of red tape.etc etc
I know communism isnt going to provide his but lots of people thought it would.
I loved his imagine song and I hope someday people can live in a world without borders and living in peace.
In truth those are all noble goals and worthy of pursuit. Of course everyone wants the best and for everyone to be fed. The reality is, in order to get to that point people have to work together.
Communism, capitalism, monarchys, fascism, they're all just systems to get to that point. Without some kind of system governing how we operate together, it's usually a pretty messy system.
The problem is you have to understand what you're actually trying to get to, And understand that any of these systems has to work with with fallen, selfish people in mind.
When you pick a system, it looks great on paper. It doesn't matter which one it is.
None of them however, take into account the fact that humans are broken, selfish, egotistical, lying beings. A system that relies on people always doing the right thing, making altruistic decisions that better society, is doomed to fail. It is in our nature to seek self gratification, even if it inadvertently (or knowing/purposfully) harms or puts out others.
Yes I agree..we are all broken..but..the frequency of the world is changing..we are entering a different age the age of Aquarius rather than Kali Yuga..the iron age..the hardest of all the 2000 year cycles I think...so our minds and hearts will be different... everyone will be..not just a few intelligent people here and there..but everyone. And do we and the world will be renewed. its not a fairy story...
