Did you realize that John Lennon's song Imagine is actually a song about The Communist Manifesto?

He said so himself. So the song is literally about asking to join the communist revolution. He himself "isn't exactly a commie" but the song is about it. Funny how so many people love the song and its message, and then go on to bash communism, not realizing Soviet communism is hardly communism, and most modern commies are either Marxist or Marxist-Leninist. I'm very Marxist, although I do share some Leninist ideas. But the song is definitely pure Marxist and now it's my favorite Beatles song, as it's a peaceful call to the communist revolution :D I suppose you could call it... Lennonism. :P Someone was going to make the joke.

Again. That is Soviet Communism. That is State Capitalism. It is NOT communism. Communism is MARXISM. You are thinking of that bullshit Stalinism. But keep eating your bourgeoisie bullshit if it makes you feel safer. I am just about to go to bed and have no time to argue with complete and utter ignorance.

Lennon never led to any communist rebellion.

Lennon was the most """bourgeoisie"" of the ""bourgeoisie"" living in a multi million dollar pad and playing exclusive concerts to the rich at the end of His life.. He mad a killing out of the naivety of people until someone shot him down..

That was a very mature, cogent reply on your part. The facts you offer and the logic you present can't be refuted. Oh, that's right. You didn't offer any facts or logic, you simply engaged in the type of ad hominem invective that has always been popular with schoolyard bullies. When you can't dazzle them with brilliance, call them names, belittle them, mock them, and if all else fails punch them in the gut or in the face. You claim to be 46-50 years old. What a shame you have the mental and emotional maturity of a six-year-old. xD, lol, :-)
