For real? Here's some info I didn't know about Pete Seeger from Wikipedia: Seeger is also well known for his communist political beliefs, leading political opponents to call him by pejorative names such as "Stalin's Songbird". A classic example of Seeger’s pro-Stalin/Soviet attitude can be seen during the period of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. His anti-war record Songs for John Doe, released in 1941, where he calls President Roosevelt a warmonger who worked for J.P. Morgan, expressed his displeasure about FDR's increasingly confrontational attitude with Nazi Germany. Like most members of the CPUSA, Seeger was virulently opposed to any action against Hitler from the time of the signing of the non-aggression pact between Germany and the USSR until it was broken by Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. After the invasion of the Soviet Union, Seeger returned to his earlier stance as a strong proponent of military action against Germany. Seeger left the Communist Party in the 1950s following Nikita Khrushchev's Secret speech which revealed Stalin's crimes. He became an anti-Stalinist but retained his belief in Marxism. en.wikipedia.org
