Where have all the good socialists gone?
Remembering the platforms, platitudes of five-time presidential candidate Eugene Victor Debs
Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most - that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least.
- Eugene V. Debs
By Brian D'Ambrosio
During the deliriously overblown run-up to the presidential election of 2008 it's wholly improbable that ... Read More
Rating:  - Nothing but the cold hard truth
Those of us who live outside of North America may well be surprised to read of the momentous class battles which saw hundreds of thousands of working people give their support to Socialist ideas
Eugene V. Debs was one of the very best products of American Labor movement. He was one of the millions of workers engaged in mass struggles for the most basic of rights waged during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Two decades as a union fighter led Debs to adopt revolutionary socialist ... Read More
Rating: - Debs, Like Malcolm, Shows Working Class Potential
Eugene Victor Debs was sentenced to ten years in prison for the anti-imperialist speech he gave in Canton, Ohio in 1918. It is a fire-breathing speech full of love for the oppressed and hatred of the imperialist oppressor. After you buy this book, read this speech first. It tells you about the U.S. rulers today-and their wars. The speeches in this well-rounded book (with a superb introduction by James P. Cannon), provide socialist answers to the big questions workers face today, as well as yesterday. ... Read More
Rating: - socialism's roots in the U.S.
A refreshing collection of Debs' speeches and writings. Debs was a railroad worker and union official, imprisoned for his role in the 1894 Pullman strike. He became a socialist in prison, was several times the Socialist Party's candidate for president, and became the a symbol of labor and Marxism for a generation.
"What's the matter with Chicago?' is a lively examination of the how capitalism affects human life. Other items discuss the labor movement of his time, the early American Federation ... Read More
Rating: - a real revolutionist in his own words
This is no biography, apart from a brief introduction by the dedicated socialist worker who wrote this. Here, you read Debs and you can HEAR HIM SPEAK today.Learn to fight from a fighter, learn to feel good about it. Debs was a fighter, not a plaster saint. He came to socialism fighting to build the railroad unions, fighting against racism, fighting against American colonialism. He went to jail opposing World War I, said from the hair on his head to the tips of his toes he was a Bolshevik, and said he would ... Read More
