Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

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... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

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

Of course he was.  He was reviled by many who had the IQ higher than that of a houseplant.
Celebrated by dopers, hippies, and communists everywhere.

when Reagan got shot the bradys would eventually go on to form their gun control group and they would eventually let the assassin go free, when Lennon got shot Handgun control Inc doubled over night.

Lennon is a perfect example of idol worship. Some nut job shoots up a school you might want to get involved with a pro gun group. Some nut job shoots a celebrity you better be prepared to throw some serious money at the pro gun groups and candidates.

a guy that doesn't raise his kids when it is very financially easy to do so and cheats on his wife is a piece of shit - lennon fits that criteria

On the other hand he also wrote ...


But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow


I doubt he had any political philosophy coherent enough to be labeled anything but a generic leftist.

His personal assistant from the time right before he was killed says he had realized that a lot of what he supported when he was younger was wrong and that he had moved considerably to the right in his final years.  Whether that is true or not we'll probably never know.

I would say "NO" to the OP's question

also:

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

He was right ... but he was also a drunken knob that gave the left enough ammunition to sink the right for more than a generation.

Mmmm, maybe...

http://socialistworker.org/2006-2/604/604_13_Lennon.shtml


At the end of 1966, Lennon met and fell in love with the Japanese artist Yoko Ono. John's head-over-heels devotion to Yoko--think of how often her name shows up in future Lennon songs--earned the derision of many fans, especially after the Beatles broke up and Yoko got blamed for it. But her politics certainly reinforced Lennon's move to the left.

The two came in contact with leaders of the movement in Britain--significantly, Ali and Robin Blackburn, both members of the Trotskyist International Marxist Group. A later interview/discussion among the four that appeared in the IMG paper Red Mole (reprinted in Ali's memoir Streetfighting Years)--gives a sense of the back-and-forth about the questions facing the struggle.


With their move to the U.S., Lennon and Ono had begun working with U.S. radicals such as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin of the Yippies. Invited by TV talk show host Mike Douglas to co-host his daytime program for a week, John and Yoko invited a parade of leftists to speak to the television audience--Black Panthers leader Bobby Seale was among the guests.
