Imagine

A neighbor of mine has a bumper sticker on their car with some of the lyrics of John Lennon's "Imagine":

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

It occurred to me that the majority of the world's people DO share their possessions, with the neoliberal bastards that steal from them.

What we need to imagine instead is this:

Imagine all the rich bastards, sharing "their" possessions with the rest of us.

That includes bankgangsters, politicians, movie stars, Internet billionaires, Google-ites, etc. WE are not the source of the problem. THEY are.

Why do we tolerate their failure to share what they stole from us?
