Юджин В. Дебс — рыцарь борьбы за свободу
In 1920, Socialist Eugene V. Debs ran for the Oval Office from the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, where he was known as "prisoner 9653," according to Smithsonian Magazine. Although it is well-known that Eugene V. Debs, Socialist Party nominee, ran for president while imprisoned in 1920, this Seattle Times story provides many interesting details. I'm not sure whether Donald Trump has ever heard of Eugene Debs, the austerely incorruptible early leader of America's Socialist Party.

Первую треть своей жизни Юджин Дебс посвятил созданию и расширению профсоюзного движения. Стремился к объединению многочисленных рабочих профсоюзов в один сильный глобальный профсоюз. Но его замыслам было не суждено сбыться. После провала « Пульмановской забастовки » — самой массовой забастовки того времени, Дебса заключают в тюрьму на шесть месяцев. На суде его защищал известный адвокат Кларенс Дэрроу , уйдя с должности корпоративного юриста на Северо-западной железной дороге, чтобы солидаризироваться с делом Юджина Дебса.
Дэрроу а также один из лидеров американских социал-демократов Виктор Бергер и побудил Дебса ознакомиться с социалистическим учением. Именно в тюрьме, читая труды социалистов в частности, Эдварда Беллами , Роберта Блэтчфорда , Карла Каутского и Карла Маркса , Дебс начинает приходить к мысли, что сам по себе профсоюз, не имеющий политической поддержки, не может эффективно помочь рабочим в их борьбе за улучшение условий труда. Являясь одним из организаторов-учредителей вначале Социал-демократической, а потом Социалистической партии США, Дебс много путешествует по стране с целью проведения лекций на темы социализма. Агитация Юджина Дебса и его кандидата в вице-президенты Эмиля Зайделя В 1904, 1908, 1912 и 1920 годы Юджин Дебс выдвигается кандидатом от Социалистической партии Америки для участия в избирательной кампании на пост президента США.
В 1904 году за кандидата Дебса проголосовало всего около 20 тысяч избирателей. В 1908 году Дебс получил уже около 500 тысяч голосов. После 1921 года Дебс отходит от активной политики и сосредотачивается на агитационной деятельности в пользу социализма. Вплоть до своей смерти, Дебс путешествует по Америке, устраивая лекции при поддержке своего брата Теодора Дебса.
В течение своей жизни, Дебс часто нуждался в деньгах, для себя, организаций, основателем которых являлся, а также для поддержки партийных газет и журналов, редактором которых был он или его брат. На покрытие этих и других расходов у Дебса часто уходили все его сбережения. В пору кризиса для покрытия долгов профсоюзных организаций Дебсу приходилось брать кредит на своё имя. Высказывания Дебса[ править править код ] «Пока существует низший класс — я к нему отношусь, пока есть преступники — я один из них, пока хоть одна душа томится в тюрьме — я не свободен».

For the rest of his years, Debs received positive remarks for his subtle work. For this reason, he became the president of the American Railway Union. He also managed to attend his enrolled class around the area. In 1874 he resigned from his past job where he went ahead to work at a grocery shop. He was a regular attendee where he was chosen to represent the Terre Haute lodge. For this reason, Debs became a great figure both in the community and several movements. Early in 1894, Eugene joined Pullman Strike where he was dissatisfied with several workers who manufactured train cars. The Pullman Palace Car Company made the autos. The employees joined up with him where they participated in a strike. As a result, hundreds of strikers were killed, and millions of properties were destroyed.

In that speech, however, Debs explicitly refrained from recommending, let alone inciting, any antiwar activity. Later he added further eulogies and said that he was proud of them. It is with little exception not studied in the law schools, and it is rarely cited or noted in even the more elaborate casebooks or treatises on constitutional law.
Debs decided to support the strike, as thousands of rail workers across the country staged walk-outs in process. In response, the federal government ordered a military crackdown in July, on the rationale that strikers had disrupted US Mail services distributed via Pullman cars. By the end of the strike on July 20, thirty workers had been killed.
While in prison, Debs would recieve letters and reading material via mail from across the country. At the time of his sentencing, he still did not consider himself a socialist, but after reading material written by socialist authors such as Edward Bellamy and Karl Kautsky, he began to learn more and gradually converted to socialism. He was even visited in prison in person by Victor L. Berger , who gave him a copy of Capital by Karl Marx. After being released from prison, Eugene Debs would begin his new career of involvement in explicitly socialist organizations.
Пуллмен Страйк Удар Члены Американского национального объединения ARU противостоят войск национального гвардии Иллинойса в Чикаго во время Дебс восстание 1894 года В 1894 году Дебс участвовала в забастовке Пуллмана , которая возникла в результате спора о компенсации, начатого рабочими, строившими железнодорожные вагоны, изготовленные автомобилестроительной компанией PullmanPalace. Дебс пыталась убедить членов профсоюзов, которые работали на железных дорогах, в том, что бойкот слишком рискован; учитывая враждебность железных дорог и федерального правительства, слабость профсоюза и возможность того, что другиепрофсоюзы прекратят забастовку. Члены игнорировали предупреждения и отказывались обращаться с вагонами Pullman или любыми другими железнодорожными вагонами, прикрепленными к ним, включая автомобили с почтой США.
Эллиотт расширил забастовку в Сент-Луис, увеличив ее размер вдвое до 80 000 рабочих, Дебс уступила и решила принять участие в забастовке, которую теперь поддержали почти все члены ARU в непосредственной близости от города. Забастовщики боролись, объявив бойкот вагонам поездов Pullman, и под руководством Дебс в конечном итоге забастовка стала известна как «Восстание Дебс». Президент Гровер Кливленд , которого Дебс поддерживала во всех трех его президентских кампаниях, послал армию Соединенных Штатов для исполнения судебного запрета. Присутствие армии было достаточно, чтобы сломить удар. Всего в ходе забастовки было убито 30 забастовщиков, 13 из них в Чикаго, тысячи попали в черный список. Было повреждено имущество на сумму около 80 миллионов долларов. Дебс представлял Кларенс Дэрроу , позже ведущий Американский юрист и гражданский либертарианец, ранее работавший ным юристом в железнодорожной компании. Хотя обычно считается, что Дэрроу «перешел на другую сторону», чтобы представить Дебс, миф, повторенный биографией Ирвинга Стоуна «Кларенс Дэрроу в защиту», на самом деле он ушел с железной дороги ранее, после смерти своего наставника Уильяма Гауди.
В постановлении по делу Верховного суда , In re Debs позднее было подтверждено право федерального правительства издать судебный запрет. Пуллман Страйк Во время ареста Что касается почтовых препятствий, Дебс еще не была социалисткой. Отбыв шестимесячный срок в тюрьме в Вудстоке, штат Иллинойс , Дебс и его товарищи из ARU постоянный поток писем, книг иброшюр по почте от социалистов со всей страны. Дебс вспоминал несколько лет спустя: Я начал читать, думать и анализировать анатомические системы, в которой рабочие, какими бы организованными они ни были, могли быть разбиты, разбиты и расколоты одним ударом. Мне рано понравились труды Беллами и Блатчфорда.

Eugene V. Debs Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
In 1916, Debs changed his aim and decided to run for Congress in Indiana instead, advocating for American neutrality in World War I as part of his campaign. This led the United States to pass the 1917 Espionage Act, which created "criminal penalties for anyone obstructing enlistment in the armed forces," according to MTSU. It was under this law and its corresponding extension with the Sedition Act of 1918, that Debs would eventually be re-imprisoned. In addition to hoping to provide larger industrial unionism as opposed to the " narrow craft unionism " of the AFL, the IWW tried to appeal to the workers who were often discriminated against the most, including Black people, immigrants, and women. The Christian Science Monitor writes that Debs supported segregation on trains and effectively linked the labor movement to white men only. Eventually, this view changed to the point where Debs decided that as long as Black people were considered inferior, then white workers would be exploited.
Compared to the other labor movements and organizations at the time, the IWW was more inclusive to foreign-born workers because "they reasoned the only way to reduce competition between native and foreign workers was to organize the latter rather than exclude them from labor organizations," writes Jennifer Jung Hee Choi in "The Rhetoric of Inclusion: The I. W and Asian Workers. Debs published his ideas in editorials, essays, letters to editors, and interviews. Debs: an American paradox. And before long, his editorials had expanded in their focus.
In addition to advocating for industrial unions, Debs defended First Amendment Rights and advocating pacifism in his pieces. Debs gave a speech in a park in Canton, Ohio. There, he declared that "The working class have never yet had a voice in declaring war [... These were risky words and Debs knew it. On September 12, 1918, Debs was found guilty on three counts and in addition to being sentenced to 10 years in prison, his right to vote was taken away.
At his sentencing, Debs stated "I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. In 1920, he ran for president one more time for the Socialist Party of America. Debs campaigned while in prison by issuing weekly campaign statements through the news wire service, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Instead, he focused his attention on criticizing President Wilson, whom he described as "a tool of Wall Street. Debs returned to Terre Haute and tried to go back to his work as an activist, but most of his time was spent focusing on his health, which was poor before prison and had become even worse since.
Although Debs was encouraged to join the Communist Party, he found himself in disagreement with the Soviet system and its suppression of dissent, and instead reaffirmed his commitment to democratic socialism, according to " Eugene V.
While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free... He formed the American Railway Union, led the Pullman strike of the 1890s in which he was jailed and emerged a dedicated Socialist. An idealistic, impassioned fighter for economic and social justice, he was brilliant, eloquent and eminently human.
Born in 1855 into bourgeois comfort in Terre Haute, Indiana, he worked as a clerk and a grocer before joining the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in 1875 and finding his vocation as an advocate for labor. Representing American socialism For the next 30 years, Debs was the face of socialism in America. He ran for president four times , in 1900, 1904, 1908 and 1912, garnering around a million votes in the last cycle.
Both lost. On May 21, 1918, wary of a small but energized and eloquent anti-war movement, Wilson signed the Sedition Act into law. Debs would not be muzzled. At his sentencing, he told the judge he would not retract a word of his speech even if it meant he would spend the rest of his life behind bars. After a brief stint in the West Virginia Federal Penitentiary, he was sent to serve out his sentence at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Cox , governor of Ohio, for the Democrats. Yet Debs did not let incarceration keep his message from the voters.

Сэм Джонсон однажды сказал: «патриотизм — последнее прибежище негодяя». Он, должно быть, имел в виду этих дворян с Уолл-стрит или, по крайней мере, их прототипов, ибо во все времена именно тиран, угнетатель и эксплуататор облачался в мантию патриотизма, религии, или того и другого, чтобы обманывать и запугивать людей.
Каждый из этих аристократических заговорщиков и потенциальных убийц претендует на звание архипатриота; каждый из них настаивает, что война ведется за то, чтобы сделать мир безопасным для демократии. Какой вздор!
This state of affairs was to change quite suddenly in early 1888. The Burlington railroad strike of 1888 lasted for most of the year, and ended with the complete defeat of the strike as the company managed to replace the entire striking workforce, but not before at least two striking workers had been killed by strikebreakers across the course of the year. Following this event, Debs began to become convinced of a more confrontational and unyielding approach, rooted in industrial unionism rather than craft unionism. In 1893, Debs would help found the American Railway Union , one of the first industrial unions in the United States and one of the largest labor unions of the time. Following early success with a strike on Great Northern Railway, the ARU would soon find itself involved with a strike by workers of the Pullman Palace Car Company in May 1894, following lay-offs and wage cuts along with high living costs in the Pullman company town. Debs was initially reluctant to support the strike due to his concerns over its potential risks and wherever the ARU had the capability to support it.
Nevertheless, the strike went ahead anyway beginning on May 11, as union workers refused to handle Pullman train cars or any cars attached to them. Debs decided to support the strike, as thousands of rail workers across the country staged walk-outs in process.
He claimed he was innocent and accused the Biden administration of "weaponizing" the Justice Department. But will this dampen his presidential hopes? The latest developments are drawing comparisons to the presidential bid of socialist leader Eugene Debs. In a worst-case scenario, Trump could still follow in the footsteps of Debs, who ran for president even from prison in 1920. Trump reportedly faces seven charges in the criminal case, brought by the U. Department of Justice. In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform Thursday, the Republican 2024 frontrunner said he was summoned to appear in a Miami federal court on June 13.
Debs was a democrat, but he was also a Marxist and an internationalist. He believed that working-class democracy was only possible if workers controlled the capital infrastructure they set into motion, operating it according to social principles entirely different from those of the profit-seeking capitalist market. Anyone familiar with Debs lore knows that he probably encountered Marxist theory for the first while imprisoned for his leadership of the Pullman strike. But theory alone would not have brought Debs to socialism if it did not clarify his experience in the labor movement. While it helped workers exercise some control over their employment for instance, by regulating hiring and firing , it often collaborated with management to prevent strikes and spread a culture of workplace discipline.
If this was true, capital and labor needed each other: capital would be idle without labor, and labor powerless without capital. There can be no such quarrel unless it is caused by deliberate piracy on one side and unreasonable demands on the other. After workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company south of Chicago went on strike and sought out the ARU in a desperate plea for assistance, Debs and the union organized a sympathy boycott of Pullman cars around the country, refusing to hitch the luxury sleeping cars to trains or receive trains under Pullman control. Commerce radiating out of the Chicago metropolitan area ground to a halt, triggering a national crisis. A coalition of railway owners conspired with the attorney general to issue a federal injunction against the strikers an unprecedented tactic that the Supreme Court only ruled legal after the fact , the Democratic administration called in the national guard against the strikers, and Debs was sent to jail.
The episode showed Debs that when workers exercise control over both capital and their own labor at the industry-wide level, it is regarded as an overwhelming crisis, not the assertion of democratic bargaining rights. Without realizing it, the ARU was not striking for equal rights within a democratic state but at the core of capitalist power: its command of labor backed by the right to private property. Property and Freedom In his early years, Debs had accepted the sanctity of private property while insisting that labor had an equal right to shape how property was used. When Debs became a Marxist, he abandoned what is perhaps the cardinal myth of American nationalism: that private property and freedom are intimately connected. In early America, the surest route to this kind of republican freedom was private ownership of land or small capital.
With open access to private property, every settler would have an equal chance to acquire property and bargain with others, creating a nexus of voluntary agreements among free and equal partners.

Although Debs would never end up becoming president, due to his efforts with the Socialist Party of America, the party held "over 1,000 elective offices in 33 states and 160 cities" according to Kansas Heritage.
