Quote:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

From Marx & Engel, "The Manifesto of the Communist Party," Chapter 2, 1848:
Quote:
|
The Communists are distinguished from the other working-class parties by this only: 1. In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the front the common interests of the entire proletariat, independently of all nationality. 2. In the various stages of development which the struggle of the working class against the bourgeoisie has to pass through, they always and everywhere represent the interests of the movement as a whole.

What's also of interest, is that Karl Marx and John Lennon were both 30 years old when their respective works were published.
Coincidence?!
