-Guthrie's message can be seen as both individualistic and collectivist in this song because it ties into both views. His message could be interpreted as collectivist because the song says " this land is for you and me", so this society would include everyone into that group. It could also be perceived as individualist because when he says that he's on this road alone, and the sighn says no tresspassing, the song is implying that he's on his own and people are being excluded from some of this land.
-This song would be anti-government because in the song he travels past the sign saying " No Tresspassing" and says that "no one can stop me". I tend to perceive this as anti-government because he is rebelling by crossing the sign and by not following all the laws.
