It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

HAPPY XMAS (WAR IS OVER)
Happy Xmas, Kyoko, Happy Xmas, Julian
So this is Xmas and what have you done
Another year over and a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fear
And so this is Xmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The world is so wrong (Now)
And so happy Xmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let’s stop all the fight (Now)
A very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fear
And so this is Xmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
A new one just begun (Now)
And so happy Xmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear one (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fear
War is over if you want it, war is over now
written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono
John: When we stick posters around saying, 'WAR IS OVER if you want it', what we’re trying to promote is an awareness in people of how much power they have – and not to rely on the government or leaders or teachers so much that they’re all passive or automatons. They have to have New Hope. Everybody’s looking for goals and answers; the youth especially. What we’re trying to tell them is that “YOU are the goal. Nobody on earth can do it for you. Whatever it is you want, you must do it yourself.” - John Lennon, 1969
Yoko: Dear Friends, the 'WAR IS OVER! if you want it' campaign was once a tiny seed, which spread and covered the Earth. John and I believed it helped many people to stop their wars. Since then, every 'WAR IS OVER! if you want it' campaign has impacted the world as powerfully as the first one. Start yours tomorrow, and you will see that it spreads and covers the world very fast and, meanwhile, makes you a Small Pebble Person. Small Pebble People are people who know that small pebbles, when they’re dropped in the ocean, will immediately affect the ocean of the whole wide world. Don’t throw a big stone. It scares people and creates repercussions. Just drop a small pebble. We’ll keep doing it. Together. That’s how the world gets changed…by Small Pebble People. We change, and the world changes.Happy Holidays. I love you! - Yoko Ono Lennon, 2019
