Subject: RE: The Joe Stalin Blues (Pete Seeger)
I'm sorry keberoxu, but you will have to explain that one to me, I don't understand your meaning.
I have read that Mr Seeger was a Communist for many years, and it is a truism that once you accept the doctrine you never really refute it.
It ties in with the assumption that all liberals are socialists, when in reality, most liberals would be appalled by a radical socialist regime.....they just don't realise much about humanity and have assumed great political power through the offices of the various media, they have lost touch with the real people all over the world and like the new folk music intelligencia, speak only to themselves.
I'm sorry to say that Mr Seeger appears to have been only a liberal masquerading as a socialist......a very dangerous species.
There is no doubt that someday we will all be forced to accept socialism, whether we wish to or not, simply through necessity.
No one should assume that socialism will be any sort of Utopia, quite the reverse, but there will be no viable alternative.
