Imagine no there's heaven, no hell below us. The white background in the video suggests otherwise.
Was it a call to arms? 'Sharing all the world' and 'I hope you'll join us' is pretty seductive.
I've criticized Lennon enough. Now I'd just like to bring up the effect this has on the voting public who are not into critical thinking. Criticizing a hero of the left is counterproductive and buys us nothing. We have to bring these cloud 9 idealists back down to reality when no one wants to. The song is not a shot across our bow. It's recruitment-an effective one.
It’s ancient, shallow and only dreamers from the 60’s who are dying off now pay any attention to the meaning.

The Marxist song
ALWAYS despised that song! Right up there with buy the world coke campaign. Utter hogwash. Sentiments are one thing but reality will kill you.
🇮🇱👍
It’s easy to write these types of things when you are a multi-millionaire thinking that you are smarter than everyone else.
I don’t think Lennon was a commie, but he was likely very socialist thinking that the “elite” can run others’ lives better.
Imagine no Yoko
It’s easy if you try
John moved to the US because he “Imagined” No Taxes.
Couldn’t criticize him or the song. Reminds me of a more recent messiah who spoke of ‘change we can believe in and justified himself with ‘that’s not who we are’. Then the lieutenants in the government and the MSM do the dirty work.
My friends this is what we’re up against and we have too deal with it. ‘Putting those styrofoam pillars back to the storage lot’ cut them down a notch but there’s not enough of it. I’m old enough to remember the ‘You’re no Jack Kennedy’ stabbing. As I remember Dan Quayle married Marilyn. Too late for our followers to wise up to what’s going on. Paul Ryan let Biden belittle him in his end debate. I can go on.
Rush Limbaugh used to play a hilarious parody called “Imagine There’s No Liberals”.
FUJL
He later reputied it. Great melody though. Somileone put in GODly words instead.
I bet anything that song was played at the “Peace Festival”.
Imagine there’s no psychos
Ignoring gun laws in New York….
I have heard Lennon liked Reagan.
Which is why I always wondered in the back of my mind if Yoko had something to do with his murder.
The lyrics are garbage. I can appreciate the melody though.
John didn’t try very hard to “imagine no possessions” - if he had, Yoko wouldn’t have a net worth of $700 million.
Mark Steyn had a great take on it a few years ago. Google “Mark Steyn Imagine.” John may have sung “nothing to kill or die for,” but he was donating to the IRA when they were blowing up civilians. “You may say he’s a dreamer, but he’s not.”
Imagine- you will have nothing and like it.
