Listening Journal: October 30, 2011

Guthrie's message is collectivist because he is saying what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine. When he talks about the no trespassing sign and how the blank side is for you and me, he is saying that we have the right to everyone's property and belongings. I found this song to be anti-goverment because our government has one person is charge with all the power. The government also promotes individualism.
