When he died in 1980, he left behind a monetary legacy estimated at $275 million-not bad for one who referred to himself as an "instinctive socialist,"1 for one who believed on the abolition of "all money, police, and government."2

“Instinctive socialist” = socialist.
“believed on the abolition of “all money, police, and government” = anarchist.
The two are probably mutually exclusive. How can you redistribute wealth if there is no government to implement, no police to enforce and no money to seize?
I think Lennon was too complex and probably too confused to actually know himself— what he was really.
