What does Woody Guthrie have to do with this thread? Woody was a genuine folk troubadour from the Oklahoma dust bowl who lived first hand the tragedy of the depression. Like many liberals of that time, he blamed capitalism for the breakdown. The dedicated communists of the day were always on the lookout for naive celebrities whom they could recruit. Woody’s interest was always in the welfare of American workers and common folk not the supremacy of the communist party.

He was at least a bit of a Useful Idiot for the communists, whether intentionally or not.
