My point is that Lennon’s previous association with Maoists does not exclude him from becoming a socialist.

 Quite right but having been dead for over 30 years presents a fairly serious problem………..:)

I never made the point that his association with Maoists or Trotskyists was why he is not a socialist but he did share some ideas with them that we do not. And this was a result of him not having studied what he was talking about and instead accepting their analysis.
