I'd like to join one if that even exists please thank uuu

I am omnipotent starting from now

Utopian socialism is silly and all: fancying that socialism can be premised on a few benevolent elites having good ideas, and emphasizing empty “dreaming of better futures” over actual critique and determination of why socialism is logically necessary for the working class. But ‘Imagine’ is such a beautiful exposition of Utopianism. The vibe is sick as hell: real “a spectre is haunting Europe” type shit. I am referring, of course, to the A Perfect Circle cover, as John Lennon’s original IMO feels like the weak shit it is ideologically. If anything could make me join a phalanstery it would be this song.

“Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
[Refrain]
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

“You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one”

I have written essays on the first erroneous reasoning behind this ideology, but every time Tool’s Aenima comes on, for six minutes and thirty nine seconds, I am a third worldist. It’s a rather epic song about yearning for the US state of California to be engulfed by the ocean. 

“I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend
I want to see it come down
Bring it down
Suck it down
Flush it down”
