Nice to see the inclusion of the two verses normally omitted. Well, one bright Sunday morning in the shadow of the steeple By the relief line I saw my people As they stood there whistlin' they stood there hungry Don't they know that this land was made for you and me? Well, as I was walking, I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing" But on the other side it didn't say nothing That side was made for you and me!

It summarizes what America is supposed to be and often has been. The original natives of this land. The refugees who founded Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The hundreds of peoples and cultures that found home here. The United States is a large country and each part of it tells a unique story. It is a land full of some of the most beautiful natural wonders on our planet that the song invokes. It invokes what we often *should* be. It reminds me what even with the hatred, anger, and inequality I still love my homeland. I don't think one can love their country without loving the people in it and wanting equality and equity for them. For my Italian ancestor that fled here in the mid-1800s at 12-years-old because they were going to conscript him it was a land of peace and freedom. Sadly for slaves and their descendants, it hasn't been. A good example of two different things being true at the same time.

If you were to actually know real history you would also know up until 1941 pearl harbor created a sense of nationalism and thus before american people were distant to nationalism. The beauty of the land ur talking about is woody and other during the 30's why do u think in 0.43 he literally talks about him walking from far distances "there was a a big high wall there that tried to stop me a sign was painted said private property". by woody himself that was deleted and clearly not sung here face it dude the U.S.A can suck sometimes.

@@kraze719 I'm not disagreeing that the song has social justice bits to it in some of the verses. It makes me love it even more. But downplaying how he describes the land as beautiful, which is most of the song, speaks to his love for his homeland. The "no trespassing" sign verse and the one about the his people in line at the relief office speaks to things he wishes were different. I would argue that ties in love of his homeland as well because he's wanting social justice for everyone. Guthrie grew up during the Great Depression on a farm destroyed by the Dust Bowl. As for nationalism, the rise of nationalism began just before WWI and followed the rise of fascism in the United States. Back when Charles Lindberg was considering a presidential run for the fascist "America First Party". That was the era most of the civil war monuments we deal with today were built, the Klan reached its membership peak, and anti-immigrant hysteria ran rampant. WWII actually began to calm much of that down. Patriotism rose, but patriotism and nationalism aren't the same thing. Nationalism is a state worshipping authoritarian cult. Patriotism is a love of your homeland and its people. I would argue measures such as supporting universal healthcare, civil rights, justice, and workers rights are all true patriotism. Nationalists often hijack patriotism. I have no doubt Guthrie loved his homeland and the people in it. The lyrics show as much. He also wrote the song in part because he thought God Bless America was too nationalist.

I always revisit this on Memorial Day, along with The Ballad Of Ira Hayes video that shows pictures of Ira, newspaper clippings, and quotes from Ira. One of the things that makes the USA better than other nations is that we’re not afraid to look back and see where we’ve done wrong. We are headed to becoming a melting pot of both people and ideals, and the food that will come out of that will nourish the whole world. Sure it might not look like it right now, but keep in mind that it never looked like it would in the past either 🇺🇸

Woody Guthrie’s iconic song “This Land Is Your Land” has been interpreted in various ways, but its origins and message are indeed tied to social justice and populist ideals. Guthrie wrote the song in the winter of 1940 as he traveled from California to New York. Frustrated by the economic hardships faced by many Americans during the Great Depression, Guthrie penned the lyrics as a call to move beyond private property and toward greater equality. The song questions how a country could be blessed by God when people were suffering in relief lines and struggling to find work. It’s important to note that Guthrie was drawn to socialist beliefs and became critical of American capitalism during his travels. Over time, “This Land Is Your Land” evolved into a protest anthem, expressing Guthrie’s belief that the working class should have the same rights as the wealthy. So, while it’s often misinterpreted as a patriotic song, its true essence lies in advocating for social justice and equality.
