John Fogerty is unfortunately a self admitted lib but I’ve always liked this song.

The reason why I said it was a reactionary song is bc it is frequently used by reactionaries

Huh. I always thought it was an anti-draft song at least.

I read the same thing and that it was basically a criticism of class. The rich start the wars while the poor are made to fight them.
