So what if his ideas are communistic. If we could live in a communist world without people being selfish, it would be great. People just look down on communism because of its misuse in other countries. Are you saying that his idea to live as "A brotherhood of man" is something that we should not strive for? Lennon sings of peace, and having a God has NOTHING to do with peace. You can not prove the existance of God, and even if you could, you could definitly not prove that he plays any role in our world. Obviously, if God was omniscient, omnibenevolent, and omnipotent, as most religions claim he is, then there would be no suffering in the world for good people; but suffering does happen to many people that are good, just look at Princess Diana, so this kind of God does not exist and possibly none does, at least not one that does anything but perhaps observe us.
It is people like you, obviously needing your possessions and God for support, that make his ideal unrealized.
@Moulingalette Would you be OK with ridding yourself of all of your possessions, including clothing, your computer or smartphone you used to write this post, or any other thing you own? Also, nobody can prove that God doesn't exist, either. There is suffering in this world because there is free will; there will invariably be some people who choose to make life miserable for others, either inadvertently or purposefully for some underlying reason. We can't all be the same because we are human beings, not robots. There has always been a driving force in mankind, and that's to have as...

We can't all be the same because we are human beings, not robots. There has always been a driving force in mankind, and that's to have as much as possible to support their society, which leads to resource and land conflicts with other groups of people who, for some reason or another, decide to not share what's theirs. Besides all that, Karl Marx (you should be acquainted with his writings if you support true communism) supported the gradual replacement of private property, which he referred to as means of production, such as businesses, farms, factories, etc. Anything that produces value should have control of ALL surplus value (such as profits) passed on to a centralised government which will then redistribute that as needed in the community, hence the term "communism". He made a sharp distinction between that and a person's personal property, such as keyboards, computers, books, clothing, food, etc. Nowhere did he advocate the idiocy of having "no possessions". Even Buddhist Monks have possessions; they just don't let their possessions possess them, if that makes any sense. Read, study, learn and grow in knowledge. We already are a brotherhood of mankind, and sisterhood, whatever the case may be we are all part of the human race. Anybody who has had siblings understand that they don't always get along, and sometimes beat the crap out of each other, similarly that happens in the greater scheme of things too. That's life.

@Moulingalette wow how ignorant. you dont care about it being communistic? then you must no fck all about the horrors people suffered and died in the millions under the tyranny of communism, people like you are why the world will be in a bad place and will never get better because you cling to sh!tty unrealistic ideals that cause starving and genocide
