Bob Marley neocon?

Ich hätte es nie für möglich gehalten, aber wenn ich mir so den Text von “War” anhöre, könnte Bob Marley glatt ein Neocon sein:

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be persued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war…

Gut, er spricht nicht von Demokratie – wahrscheinlich kannte er den Ausgang des Projekts Zimbabwe schon – außerdem dachte er wohl kaum an Kapitalismus, aber es waren ja auch andere Zeiten.
