The Story Behind Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists” and a Ukulele Play-Along

Описание: Woody Guthrie wrote four famous words on his guitar: “This Machine Kills Fascists.” Those words shaped one of the most influential protest songs in American history — “All You Fascists Bound to Lose.”

In this video, I break down the real story behind Guthrie’s iconic anti‑fascist anthem, the historical moment that inspired it, and why its message still resonates more than 80 years later. Written during World War II, at a time when fascist regimes were driving global conflict, Guthrie’s song became a rallying cry for unity, equality, and resistance against hate.
