Indeed, all of the many complaints we have about government today—surveillance, militarism, corruption, harassment, SWAT team raids, political persecution, spying, over-criminalization, etc.—were present in Lennon’s day and formed the basis of his call for social justice, peace and a populist revolution.

Waited a long time to see this point posted. All the anger, disappointment, sadness, frustration and rage changes inside once you know this struggle we feel today is not new it is ancient. Technology has changed how we interact, yet the struggle has always been the same.

Not sure if we need to go into the streets in numbers. I think we could all just stay home or go to the park. Just don't go to work for three to six months. If a good majority of people didn't go to work for half a year it would disrupt the consumer, materialistic society and its money flow in said city (hit'm where it hurts). Don't buy anything but the essentials for 6 months (no: TV's, phones, cars, houses or candy for six months). Yeah, I know how could most of the 99ers survive without pay for 3 to 6 months or longer.

Oh, I am just a dreamer. Oh, how would everyone eat, drink and survive without the greenback to pay for it all? Not an easy fix and some or a lot of people are going to suffer no matter what does or does not occur as an attempt for great change.
