Now Woodie would be canceled, since he admits he's a "hillbilly" and therefore a "fascist". Antifa would bash him over the head.

Woodie would be fine.

Once a commie, always a commie.

Guthrie never publicly declared himself a Communist, though he was closely associated with the Party. Will Kauffman says,

As he once claimed: “If you call me a Communist, I am very proud because it takes a wise and hard-working person to be a Communist” (qtd. in Klein 303). Klein also says that Guthrie applied to join the Communist Party, but his application was turned down. In later years, he’d say, “I’m not a Communist, but I’ve been in the red all my life.” He took great delight in proclaiming his hopes for a communist victory in the Korean War and more than once expressed his admiration for Stalin. Unlike his musical protege, Pete Seeger, Guthrie never offered any regret for his Stalinism.[12]

After the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Guthrie took an anti-war U-turn and wrote one song describing the Soviet invasion of Poland as a favor to Polish farmers and another attacking President Roosevelt’s loans to Finland to help it defend against the Soviet Union’s invasion in the 1939 Winter War. His attitude switched again in 1941 after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.[12]

What we need is a machine that surrounds BLM and ANQUEEFA and forced them to surrender. Fascists are fascists.

Pete and Woody protested in defense of fascism until Hitler betrayed Stalin.

It took pete 40 years to apologize for supporting Stalin.

Maybe if woody had lived to be 100 he’d have expressed regret some day as well

I know ‘billies and Woodie ain’t no ‘billy.

He was a commie, the natural enemy of ‘billies everywhere.

No difference. He called himself a ‘hillbillie’ so he’s a white supremacist. Canceled. Mere communist? Nobody kills more communists than communists. Nowadays, he’d be an anachronistic communist, bitterly clinging to Stalin instead of Castro or Xi Jing Ping. So he’d be purged by the antifa neo-comrades. BLM would agree.

While serving in the US Navy? He wrote songs. He was wrong. But he took up arms in defense of his country (the USSR?).

One problem with this song, it is sung by communists against the “fascists.” In WW2 days, they sided with Stalin and the communists against Hitler and the fascists.

And to make matters worse, the Antifa’s can sing this tune. They are anti-fascists too, as their name suggests. In their twisted minds, they consider American conservatives “fascists.”

Notice, Woody Guthrie sang against the fascists, NEVER against the communists.

Woodie was on board with Hitler until June 22, 1941.
