don you are mixing up political ideologies with people who are simply thinking about them and crafting songs- songs dont kill people.

And with one stream of political ideology coming from seeger smothers et al - simply manipulation at the exclusion of others I think maybe but no one has found the evidence yet.

When any political group ones you like, ones you dont like use the power of music to dominate the media and bring about political change it hurts folk music in general.

Songs are songs- they dont kill anyone unless manipulated to do so.
