После тюрьмы здоровье Дебса было подорвано. Свой договор он выполнил. Однако «Белл Синдикат» свои обязательства выполнил не полностью. Он опубликовал целиком девять статей. Только после смерти все статьи были опубликованы полностью. В ней, в частности, говорится: «Русская революция… будет вписана в скрижали человечества как самое яркое и далеко идущее событие».
Конец 1923 — начало 1924 года — несмотря на ухудшение состояния здоровья, Дебс не прекращает своей общественной деятельности.

I do not believe any biographical information from you. I have repeatedly stated my position on the Soviet Union and its mistakes. Communism is the future. Capitalism will be swept away. There is no point in arguing with you. You will not convince me and I will not convince you. You are just a pseudonym that someone is hiding behind.

He claimed to only vote for black candidates, yet refused to vote Jade Simmons for President even though she was on his ballot. Besides, voting solely by race is in fact racism. Rosenbaum, and known to you by her pen name Ayn Rand, was born in 1905. After the Soviet revolution she fled with her family to Yevpatoria in Crimea, under the control of White counterrevolutionaries. She finished high school there. By free education, did you mean college, or seizing her parents business, nearly starving her and her family to death, expelling her from college because she was from a bourgeois background, allowing her to reenroll after complaints from visiting foreign scientists….? Sure, that was quite an education, but I would scarcely call it free. I am real. That is an objective fact. Whether you exist is a matter of opinion. Or is it the other way around? Try logically disproving solipsism or the matrix. Good luck! Your failure to answer followup questions digging into your claims is the most notable fact so far. Your ideas fail when really examined. I have read more than one biography of Rand. The events you list did not necessarily happen in the way you describe. Workers taking businesses from the bourgeoisie is the right thing to do. It is my hope that American workers rise up and seize the businesses of the bosses and that the government seizes the bank accounts of those bosses.
The Sedition Act of 1918, which was repealed in 1920, sought to make anti-war statements treasonous. He also criticized the government for detaining anti-war activists, as per The Washington Post. He was arrested weeks later, and many American newspapers at the time dubbed the socialist a traitor or a dictator. During his trial, Debs said he believes "in free speech, in war as well as in peace. While in prison, Debs launched his "from the jail house to the White House" campaign in 1920 after previously running for president in 1904, 1908 and 1912 as the Socialist Party of America nominee. Legal experts are expecting a trial in the Stormy Daniels case to come at a minimum of over a year away or even after the 2024 presidential campaign. Ex-president Donald Trump has been indicted for the second time this year.

Эти чересчур, казалось бы, высокопарные слова повторял перед своей аудиторией Курт Воннегут, которому не откажешь ни во вкусе, ни в ироническом отношении к миру: «В последнее время я обязательно предупреждаю, что эти слова нужно воспринимать всерьез. Иначе аудитория начинает смеяться. Они смеются без злобы, они знают, что я люблю быть смешным. Но их смех говорит о том, что это эхо Нагорной проповеди сейчас воспринимают как устаревшую, полностью дискредитировавшую себя чушь». Америка посыл Дебса оценила: разные силы по-своему.
Власти отправили его в тюрьму, приговорив к десяти годам заключения. Рабочие же помогали Дебсу прямо из тюрьмы вести президентскую кампанию — и мало какой заключенный в истории США имел такой бурный политический успех! Кто же такой этот Юджин Дебс, один из создателей самого воинственного профсоюза Америки «Индустриальные рабочие мира», «почти коммунист», шестикратный кандидат в президенты США, он же — «заключенный номер 9653»? Его родители, эмигранты из Эльзаса, имели небольшой магазинчик в одном из многочисленных маленьких городков «одноэтажной Америки».
Городок находился в штате Индиана и звался Терре-Хот, но к чему подробности? Правда, Дебса явно не прельщала перспектива просидеть всю жизнь в конторе. В 14 лет он бросил школу и пошел работать на железную дорогу. Вначале чистил локомотивы в депо, затем малевал дорожные знаки, и наконец, несколько лет спустя, юноше доверили настоящее дело — он стал кочегаром.
Локомотивная обслуга — бравые ребята, элита железнодорожных рабочих, доллар за смену, немалые по тем временам деньги, но и работа опасная. Аварии на железных дорогах тогда случались регулярно, и счет смертям рабочих шел на десятки. Как ни нравилась Дебсу такая жизнь, ему пришлось пожалеть мать, измученную постоянной тревогой за сына. Спустя несколько лет молодой человек возвращается в родной город, где ему подыскали работу клерка с перспективами карьерного роста.
Мало радости в такой жизни! Дебс активно занимается самообразованием, но конторская работа гнетет его, а железная дорога манит обратно. Вскоре жизнь предложила Дебсу неплохой компромисс: его разыскали бывшие сослуживцы и пригласили на работу в общество локомотивной обслуги «Братство кочегаров и машинистов». Это был классический для тогдашней Америки цеховой профсоюз, устроенный по принципам масонской ложи.
Опыт клерка Дебсу пригодится — равно как и знания, которые он жадно глотал в перерывах между сменами на железной дороге, и природная харизма. Скоро он станет весомой фигурой и в профсоюзе, и в политической жизни своего городка и даже штата. Двадцати пяти лет от роду он будет секретарем мэрии Терре-Хота, а несколькими годами позже попадет в ассамблею Индианы. Примерно в то же время Дебс станет одним из первых лиц профсоюза.
В 1877 году Америку потрясла Великая железнодорожная стачка. В течение 45 дней движение поездов парализовано в нескольких штатах, горят железнодорожные конторы, на улицах городов проходят кровавые стычки рабочих с полицейскими. Виной тому было резкое сокращение зарплат железнодорожников: отрасль была в кризисе, и хозяева предсказуемо решили сэкономить на работниках. В итоге железнодорожные компании понесли миллионные убытки, но несколько десятков семей рабочих остались без кормильцев, а Америка долго отходила от шока, вспоминая бойню на улицах своих городов.
Глядя на кровавые события в стране, Дебс, на тот момент один из лидеров «Братства кочегаров», забастовку решительно осудил — в тонах, которые сделали бы честь самому махровому охранителю: «Забастовка в настоящее время означает анархию и революцию...
He was convicted, sentenced to serve ten years in prison and disenfranchised for life. Once again, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction. He was pardoned and released on Christmas Day, 1921 by President Harding at age 65. While his health was broken, his spirit and optimism remained indomitable. He remained an outspoken advocate for the cause of labor and the working class.
Debs died in 1926 at the age of 70 in Elmhurst, Illinois. Debs lived an extraordinary life, one devoted to the cause of the average working man and woman.

Trump once again became the great hero of his populist Republican supporters, with recent polls showing he was drawing far more support in the 2024 primaries than all his Republican rivals combined. Indeed, some cynical observers even suggested that this outcome might have been intentional. Perhaps the Democrats regarded Trump as the weakest Republican candidate they might face in 2024, and sought to ensure his renomination. Such a deeply Machiavellian strategy might be possible, but all of these various prosecutions and trials will surely keep Trump at the top of the news cycle from now until November 2024, whether Election Day finds him still on trial or already serving time behind bars. As of a week ago, Trump had already been facing 71 separate state and federal felony indictments. Then he was struck by the weightiest federal charge of all, accusing him of organizing a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results. These days American society is deeply polarized and most of the charges against Trump will be tried in venues such as DC, Manhattan, and Atlanta where the jury-pools are sure to be heavily larded with Trump-haters. With so many dozens of serious charges against him, our 45th President seems likely to end up behind bars. These latest indictments finally moved longtime progressive columnist and cartoonist Ted Rall into that same camp of outright Trump sympathizers.
The massive vilification of Trump in such quarters indicates that those elites fear Trump as their most dangerous foe, so many voters may eventually conclude that the enemy of their enemy is at least worth a casual vote on the November ballot. But although countless American candidates throughout our history have bitterly complained about stolen elections and sometimes contested the outcomes, our rabidly partisan Democratic prosecutors have now decided to treat that behavior as a crime, apparently hoping to destroy their Trumpian nemesis using the power of the courts. This judicial innovation may be unique in the developed world and seems extremely rare even outside it. Rather than being prosecuted and imprisoned, AMLO eventually gave up on his unofficial presidency and after creating a new party as his vehicle, ran for president a third time in 2018, winning in a huge landslide despite any election fraud. Fortunately for AMLO, his protests of a stolen election had occurred in 2006, long before Trump entered the scene, so any attempt by his own government to prosecute and imprison him would have surely been denounced and ridiculed by the American establishment as an outrageous violation of basic democratic principles. But these days, the globally-dominant and Trump-hating American media plays a very different tune, so the precedent of prosecuting a losing candidate for protesting alleged election fraud may soon spread worldwide. In Brazil, the conservative establishment had used a somewhat doubtful corruption conviction to block former President Lula from seeking to regain the presidency , but once it was overturned by the courts, he successfully did so, and his own courts then used the excuse of election protests to prohibit his defeated rightwing opponent President Bolsonaro from trying to do the same in four years time. In India, the ultra-rightwing Modi government is overwhelmingly popular, but still decided to take no chances.
