Review about Imagine Lennon's world, communism or not: Not possible in this world | Reviewer: Mark | 10/1/2008 - | Reviewer: riodiculous | 10/1/2008 Im interpreted this wonderful song as mr. lennon's imagination, not his idealism, communism, or any of that. just imagine, just dream. dont take this too serious by judging this as a propaganda or some like that. no offense, but i prefer dreaming rather than take this disgraceful world like there is nothing wrong, even more, maybe we should make a world of utopia, where there hitlers communism or bennys fascist. Imagine | Reviewer: Ryan Boyce | 4/21/2008 I love Lennon, he's my hero if I ever had one. I'm not so sure about all of this communist stuff people seem to say about him, but for me, this song is a mantra for a better world, not by force, but by truth and the greater human way. Don't hope for a better world when you could very possibly be living the only life you'll ever have today. Love people as your fellow men and women, we all spring from the same earth and no one is above that. Share the love, share your wealth, the true nature of growth is compassion. People take everything he says so literally, trying to twist the words around and contort them into some kind of verbal monster. Take what you will from the lyrics, but only if you really want to make the world a more beautiful place. I love you John, and I'll face the world as purely as I believe you did. No ideals | Reviewer: Jazzy | 4/12/2008 What an idealistic world promoted by Lennon. Again, as long as humanity lives in this world, it seems unworthwhile to think of what would happen in a world such as that. Reality bites, ideals don't matter, except to set a standard we try to attain. Maybe socialism and this song have one thing in common: an ideal that is unattainable. Look at what happened to socialism. As such, humanity will make all ideals falter and crack. It just doesntt work.If we all lived in that manner, we wouldn't be called human beings. Because none of us are perfect - and that is a perfect ideal, peaceful, placid world. Indeed, it is apt to imagine. Read me | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/2008 It angers me to see so many right-wing cynics dismiss anything meaningful as communist. Lennon isn't calling on a government to impose communism, even if the song shares some of the ideologies. It preaches sharing the world with others and dismissing social boundaries that keep mankind apart. If you think it's based on any system of government at all, you are entirely missing the point. Mr. Lennon is very inspirationale | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/2008 I think this song is realy inspirationale espesialy with that stupid war in iraq im no hippie but this song realy speaks about whats going on and when David sang it on American Idol it blew me away I love this song Lennon's Lyrics Most Definitely Are Promoting Communism...So What? | Reviewer: Brian McKinley | 2/29/2008 If you read Lennon’s lyrics, and understand anything about the origin of Communist ideology, it is incredible that any person could argue that Lennon was not promoting a Communist agenda. “No religion”…”No possessions”…”No countries”… Those lyrics—what Lennon is describing, whether intentionally or unintentionally—is Marx’s description of Communism. Now I’ve seen people argue here, “Well look at Communist nations…they have wars, they have greed, they experience loss.” But there’s one problem with that argument: There’s never actually been a Communist nation in the recorded history of the world. What most people refer to as “Communism” is, in fact, Socialism. According to Marx, a Communist state would exist in a state of utopia. There would be no need for a military, because people would get along since there wouldn’t be any competition over resources. People would be employed in the occupation they were most qualified for and interest in. People would only work so much as they needed to in order to support the needs of the commune. Goods would only be exported in such quantities as was necessary to sustain the need for imported goods. Since every person would have equal property rights, based upon their family’s needs, there would be no need for greed. Everyone would have what they needed. It sounds great on paper. But it’s idealistic in reality. Marx didn’t appreciate (or ignored) man’s inherent nature. Greed is innately born of competition for resources, just as you see animals in nature competing for resources (e.g., marking territory, fighting over kills, demonstrating pack dominance). Although Marx’s (and Lennon’s) ideology sounds ideal, it isn’t going to happen. Does that mean that Lennon can’t dream of such a world? Absolutely not. I may not agree with Mr. Marx or Mr. Lennon, but I respect their right to voice their ideals and opinions. Perhaps Voltaire summed it up best when he wrote, “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.” amazing | Reviewer: kt | 3/1/2008 I find it hilarious how the "haters" waste their precious time hating even more on something instead of doing something they like. I love John Lennon and believe in many of the same ideas he believes in. This song is great and if more people would actually take it seriously it would be nice. R.I.P. John Lennon winey | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/27/2008 At the very least, this song is a socialist dream world hinging on communism. It's a propaganda piece. It makes me sick and I turn the station everytime I hear it. Set your dreams on attainable things. Work hard and quit waiting for a handout. Stop waiting for someone to save you. Save yourself. Interpreted by everyone differently | Reviewer: Sarah | 2/5/2008 I think with all songs, Mr. Lennon's words can be interpreted in a number of ways. What you take from it is your choice. Sure it sounds odd to sing about no heaven only sky... to me the words are meant to remind us of what's important now, not what we have done. To me he's saying that without the complications of war, religion, hunger or greed, we would be free to be peaceful and non judgemental. We did this one in choir in highschool and it was by far my favorite one to sing. I am designing my baby's nursery around some of the lyrics and artwork that he created for his son.
