Commie scum like Pete Seegar protested the American government NOT to go to war against Hitler’s Nazi Germany, that is until after Hitler betrayed his beloved mass-murderer, Joseph Stalin.
It wasn’t until after this date that Woody Gutherie took a “stand” against Fascism (as per his newly painted slogan “this machine kills fascists” on his guitar).
Stalin hoped he could get the French, British and Germans to fight each other to exhaustion in another long war, and he could then pick up the pieces. That’s why the left didn’t want us to intervene. As you said, all that was over after Stalin’s strategy failed after 6/22/1941. Then the left were all ga ga about the “heroic Soviets” and “Uncle Joe.”
I understand why the left acted as it did in 1940; they were under orders from the Kremlin. But today, why help the very people who would kill them first? I guess they hate America more than they love themselves. How sad.

You're right. I was explaining to my daughter just the other day that the only reason we were able to fight WWII successfully is because the US left saw it as a war to save Stalin's ass.
Well, Seeger and Guthrie were loudly against Fascism prior to the Hitler/Stalin pact, then they abruptly changed their tunes. After the invasion of Poland, they switched back.
For another illustration, take a look at Chaplin’s The Great Dictator. (Chaplin was unusual in that he filmed scenes in the order they appeared in the final cut, and he took a long time to make his movies.) The early scenes of the movie are openly anti-Fascist. By the end — the pact now being in place — Charlie looks straight out at the movie audience and makes an impassioned speech, telling them that this is not their war to fight.
