Also the US Communist Party at the time had also itself been suspected to be working close with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Britain: Tries to make a anti-American song Americans: Turn it into a patriotic song Confederates: Makes their national anthem Unionists: Edits it to a counter song Communists: Attempts to add socialist lyrics in a song Americans: Forget they even existed and goes on to be another patriotic song They never learn do they?
The confederate national anthem was God save the south not Dixie Land , also Dixie Land was written before the Civil War by a man from Ohio for a play and it became very popular with the south to the point where they turned the song into a military marching song. Dixie Land was also one of Abraham Lincolns favorite songs.

I mean that's kinda the whole point of the song. That the land is owned by everyone and shouldn't be privately owned. "Was a big high wall there that tried to stop me, A sign was painted said: Private Property, But on the back side it didn't say nothing, This land was made for you and me"

Ah, well, best of luck with that. It was written by a communist, and supported communism, socialism and syndicalism. Whether you like it or not, those are facts. But yes, some of us do still hold it to its original glory, before being run through the propaganda machine.
Too be honest. I know some of you will strongly disagree. But in my opinion, rather than the Star Spangled Banner being our National Anthem (which just glorifies war). This song "This Land Is Your Land" seems like a better fit for a National Anthem, because it symbolizes not just the land of the United States, but what America is all about, E. pluribus unum "Out of many, one". We are a nation of the people, and a remarkable history, yes some of it bad, but also a lot good. And I think that a National Anthem like this song that expresses "This Lands is made for you and me", really symbolizes what we are all about as a union, in good times and bad. And as we are in 2024, and we've had quite of few years of polarization and division between people. I still have faith in the United States, that "United We Will Stand". And we will get through tough times. To quote a President "We are the United States of America, There's not a single thing we cannot do if we do it together". Anyway, thank you for taking the time to ready my opinion. #GodBlessAmerica and may god protect our troops.🗽

This should not be a patriotic song until we do something about racism, greed, and homelessness in this country. Until we stop trying to ban people from entering the US, and throwing minorities on the street; the US should not use this as a patriot march. This is a protest song through and through.

There's nothing that makes a it a patriotic song. Woody Guthrie just avoided to say "From New York to Siberia/Sahara" or whatever, to avoid being seen as too extreme. That's about the freedom of speech US offered by this time, at best you just get suspicion. Yet it was added to the national registry basically to turn a political critical song toward the US, toward a pseudo patriotic song. Woodie Guthrie is not known either to have been a patriotic, and his political opinions, hardly would be considered as such today or back then. It's not because a song comes from a country, that it represents it either.
