Pete Seeger - Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

An Anti-War video by Spadecaller updates this classic peace song originally written in 1950 by Ed McCurdy (January 11, 1919 - March 23, 2000), a folk singer, songwriter, television actor and good friend of Pete Seeger. This great anti-war classic became the official theme songs respectfully for the Peace Corps and VISTA.

Well my friend, what you have to realise is that the victims of war are never the evil people who would do these things, the victims are always the innocent. The result of war is always a further greivance and more suffering. Thank you Pete Seegar, you have brought hope, there is a better way.

@RedZeppelin You must be a very busy person to worry about wasting 50 seconds of your time.

Soldiers never starve.

It is women and children who starve.

@Hister333 - dream on.

I knew the man that wrote this song. His wife Beryl was a beautiful ballerina...Ed died 3 weeks after my first son was born...he was an amazing man...

Last night I dreamed a bunch of barely legal women all wanted to have sex with me, and my wife wanted to watch...

It's pretty much the dumbest thing to do to put a 1 minute dead and annoying intro to any video, if you want anyone to actually watch it ...

I wrote a story once, in which a time traveller walked the whole length of the front at the end of World War Two, Americans and Britons on one side, Russians on the other, singing this song....

Hi mate, I agree, fault is only so much of a factor. I do believe there is an alternative, where decisions are made inclusively for better outcomes, but it's 5 in the morning and I haven't slept a wink thanks to constitutional crap. In as much as capitalism is amoral; it still does much avoidable harm, especially in it's current manifestation. I don't care to believe that 'that's how it is and always will be', that hardly seems to make sense. Simply, things can change. For the better. Tschuss.

@Voctron I don't know what "M-C-M" is, googling it led me to mathematical contest in modeling lol.

if the alternative is threatening, i'm sorry. That's the reality of it.

The reason they choose to (and appreciate) work is because not working leads to worse poverty.

If you don't eat you die, is it a threat that my choice to not eat causes death?

whose fault is it that child prostitution happens in impoverished areas? No one's fault, just a fact of life that needs to change.

I recommend capitalism

[Voctron]

I think I've already establised that capitalism in its current phase is monopoly-finance-capital. Sure it manifests itself through corporate entities, the modus operandi is still capitalism. M-C-M. "People in sweat shops are working there because the alternative is starvation." Mate, to most people that's not called an alternative. That's a threat, and a necessary one to maintain a working population.
