Political Humor | Hippies and Communism

This is part two of an ever growing series, but it will be a brief one. I plan to do a whole series on Hippies, Communism, the Anti-War Left, And the agenda of the Democratic Party. Not daily mind you, even though the first installment was yesterday. Suggest a good title for the series, because that previous sentence is pretty unwieldy. (Note from the future- Didn’t happen~FIAR)

Yesterday I posted the agenda of the Communist Party USA, and concluded that it’s the same as that of the Democratic Party. There’s a reason for that, and part of that dates back to the Hippies, and the Anti-VietNam War movement, which was based in Communist idealism.

Today I cite the song Imagine, by an icon and leader of the hippies. “Bigger than Jesus,” remember? This song expresses that the world would be perfect, if we could all just submit to communism. (Reprinted without permission)

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

See. The ideal of those who now comprise the Democratic leadership. Compared with this:

Communism, a stage of development never reached anywhere yet, reduces the state apparatus to minimal administrative functions, since people and society will have advanced past the need for coercive functions like armies, and will directly and indirectly provide people with the full benefits of the labor they engage in.

Thanks for your comments on the previous post. I’ll be getting around to responding at some point. That’s it for today.
