My Father Dodged the Draft and Refused to go to Vietnam. He was a working man himself. He cleaned windows. He was a man of Faith who thought that the church ruined what Jesus taught. He and I bonded over our love of Phil Ochs. I wish my father was still around to hear this cover. Thanks Jack! As Always!

I am so sick of people saying Christians can't be Socialists.

The song was originally written and performed by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, though I first discovered it through the legend that was Phil Ochs. I greatly appreciate all of the amazing tributes you've done for him! He was truly a one-of-a-kind revolutionary musician/bard, and you have certainly been doing these covers justice!

No matter if you're religious or atheist, no matter if you believe Jesus is a socialist or capitalist, hearing this song will make you at least for once think of the possibility of Jesus being a socialist. And you can't deny this song rocks.

Jesus was one of the first communists. The protracted people's struggle is a holy thing

Godamn, I wish this song could be blasted from every speaker at a megachurch and expose their pure hapocrocy. This is a beautiful song and a beautiful version. I'm atheist and from a jewish background, but I still love old christian music like this.

great song one problem Jesus went around preaching the word of god not karl marx. Jesus did not really care about property and as far as I am aware of got all his followers to leave all their belongings behind. So in a way they made them selfs poor and Jesus did not care what 'Class' you were as long as you were willing to follow god he was happy so his fight was not really with wealth but people who did not want him to preach. - This is my opinion with everything I have heard about Jesus so your welcome to make a comment to correct me on anything.

Not the interpretation of Jesus right-wing Christians will give, to say the least

[@konstantinosm.3994]

THis is for all those rightwings who say that people like us who adore social revolution are against to Christ.

Here is the original:

I disagree with interpreting Jesus as explicitly socialist, I think he was more apolitical or centrist but as GK Chesterton said "that a good man could have his back to the wall was something everyone knew, but that God could have his back to the wall, is a boone for insurgents everywhere forever."

[@jamesbhollingsworth5452]

Jesus is no socialist friend.
