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.

Yes, it's fairly easy to glean the communist theme, more imperatively, it's extraordinarily easy to glean the theme of the New World Order embedded within: "Imagine no religion, no countries…" The problem is that most people don't actually listen. Oh, the dark heart of the hippie dream. I presume you're all in favor of the one world economy and one world government?
