@[AndreAndre:51558] For what it's worth, many of us saw capitalism as a dead end, the one that was sending us to fight a pointless action. Almost everyone had studied Marx to some degree - to be better informed than... well, today's fascist-leaning mobs. Few seem to realize that they live in a country where freedom of choice is supposed to mean something... one of those legitimate choices is the American Socialist Party, and another is the American Communist Party... those who would deny those rights to others (choosing their party affiliation) - are the very same people they are criticizing.
This also explains why this song represents somewhat of an enigma to those same robots... I mean people. |

@[guess:51556]|who yes, for sure, and no - nothing in the world to do with drugs... though, many were often experienced while listening to the albums that the song was included on. |

@[drlingus:51555] It is amazing, and tragic that this song - which has always stood on its own, now needs explaining, and seems to be done so by everyone BUT those who lived the times. The song was about an ideal. It was never banned anywhere. The "Red Scare" occurred more than a decade before it was recorded. It had nothing to do with drugs, as Burton had no patience for stoners - though - in fairness, they did buy a lot of records. The song had NOTHING to do with the Vietnam war. It was idealistic, many of us did live in communes for a while, the one I lived in was comprised of professors, and their families, but everything seemed to wind down by mid 75. Trying to explain this period and the acceptance, growth, and lack of violence, and greed to subsequent generations is like teaching a snake to play baseball. |

@[kurtamus:51554] They never would have played another concert at that time, had that been the meaning. Respect went to the resistor, not the drafted. |
