This machine kills fascists

Woody Guthrie in March 1943 with his guitar labeled "This machine kills fascists"

"This machine kills fascists" is a message that American musician Woody Guthrie placed on his guitar in the mid-1940s, starting in 1943.[1]

The idea originated from a sticker that American machinists affixed to metalworking lathes and drill presses to support the war effort.[2]
