“Guthrie was an out-and-out communist, that’s why. Probably more so than his contemporary, Pete Seeger...”
The main difference between Guthrie & Seeger is that the latter is alive, well into his nineties thanks to evil capitalist healthcare, and living large the bourgeois lifestyle made possible by the social & economic system he has so despised for so many decades.
Unregenerate Stalinists, both of them.
To his credit, Seeger renounced Stalin many years back.
