John Lennon analyzing our society

If you listen you'll see that what he said portrays the world as it is today.
By that time musicians, artists, writers,and all of those who were in the culture arena were part of the anti-establishment movement, anti-war movement or counterculture or any movement for fight for freedom and a better world.

It was not about leadership. It has to do with saying what many who don't have a microphone was thinking and uniting people who wanted to change the world.
In the era of celebrities it was lost.

"I think that our society is run by insane people for insane objectives..."

"If anybody can put on paper what our government, the American government etc., and Russian and China, what they are actually trying to do, what do they think they're doing I would be very pleased to
know what they think they're doing!"

"All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people are unaware, they are not
educated to realize that they have power."

"Everybody believes that the father will fix everything, the father being the government... the government will fix everything, it is all government's fault and shake this - Lennon show his fist - but we are the government.
The people are the government."

"Peace and war are two products."

The fight for freedom is never over.
