They already have lists. The only hope we have is to stand together in solidarity as the working class against the billionaire capitalists entering power.

FDR didn't have all these obstacles back in the day.

Yes he did. The difference was that he had to respond in a way that satisfied a militant labor movement without going too far to disrupt the capitalist class. It was a fight up hill the entire way by working class union members.

Too often this song is seen as an unwavering patriotic song, which to me indicates that people aren't paying attention to all the lyrics. This song is about the country forcing the poor and downtrodden to go to war on behalf of people they will never meet and then expected to, somehow, return to normal. When understood in it's appropriate context, this song is better than anything uncritical listeners hear.
