WR, "Imagine" is a real defining moment for the liberal progressive movement of the post-modern era. It expresses in artistic fashion the pipe dream they all strive for:
- No religion.
- No countries, and thus no politics.
- No possessions.
- No greed or hunger.
- A classless society where no one is right or wrong, therefore nothing to kill or die for.
Cause you know, if you look back in history, it's full of people fighting and dying for systems of politics, religion, and values, and none of it has worked.
Therefore, violence is only caused when people try to be right, so we have to stop trying to be right.
If no one is right, then no one is wrong. And if there is no right or wrong in this world, then what is there to fight for? If there is no political boundaries, no racial boundaries, no division among us, then there will be no war.
Without war, there will be no suffering, no poverty, no hunger, no greed. Everyone can live as one in harmony, singing classic Beatles songs together.
This pretty much defines all of post-modern liberalism. No one is right or wrong, except those who try to be "right."
