I'll agree and then submit that the Ideas challenged in Imagine have already won out and you simply have a man rehashing what we all figured out long ago. Not very "Edgy" is it?

Nope, not edgy. Like I said, that's why I don't understand someone who would take the time to write an article like the one above. Does he also deconstuct poems line by line forcing them to apply to the real world?

What Ideas challenged in Imagine have already won out? As far as I can tell, the main idea in "Imagine" was to imagine a utopian world. How does an idea like that win or lose?

I'll just point out that liberals don't hold hands and recite "The Waste Land" with a dreamy, far-off look.

We all know that the world of Imagine cannot exist as man currently exists. The Idea has lost.

The idea of Capitalism, Religion, Realist has however proved to work in reality.

I think the only reason to even talk about it is parallel to discussing the comment by Chamberlain (Peace in our Time - appeasement of Evil). It was shown to be short sighted and wrong - yet it is still used today as a valid concept.

You may not see Imagine as anything but a song of a dreamer - but you would be surprise at the number of people who build their life philosophies on such trivial works. The number of Communist Congressmen should validate this point nicely.
