OPINION: A day with Eugene Debs
In India, the ultra-rightwing Modi government is overwhelmingly popular, but still decided to take no chances. The parliamentary opposition is led by Rahul Gandhi, the son, grandson, and great-grandson of past Prime Ministers, but the government prosecuted him for making a public statement seeming to imply that Modi was crooked, successfully banning him from politics as a consequence, though on Friday a court overturned the verdict. I fear that all too many democratic or semi-democratic governments around the world will now eagerly seize upon the innovative electoral strategy pioneered by our own Democratic Party and henceforth use judicial means to eliminate their political rivals. Moreover, while the ferociously anti-Trumpist media would never admit the possibility, the Donald and his angry supporters actually have a very strong case in their bitter complaints of a stolen 2020 election. I explained those simple facts back in January 2021. Although hardly suggested by our mainstream media, the officially-reported results demonstrated that our 2020 presidential election was extraordinarily close. All the regular pre-election polls had shown the Democratic candidate with a comfortable lead, but just as had been the case four years earlier, the actual votes tabulated revealed an entirely contrary outcome. But control of the White House depends upon the state-by-state tallies, and these told a very different story.
Incumbent Donald Trump lost Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin by such extremely narrow margins that a swing of less than 22,000 votes in those crucial states would have gotten him reelected. With a record 158 million votes cast, this amounted to a victory margin of around 0. So if just one American voter in 7,000 had changed his mind, Trump might have received another four years in office. One American voter in 7,000. Such an exceptionally narrow victory is extremely unusual in modern American history. More recently, George W. Bush won a narrow reelection over Sen.
John F. If our incompetent or dishonest media had correctly reported these simple facts, perhaps Democratic partisans would have been somewhat more understanding of the outrage expressed by so many of their Republican counterparts, who believed they had been cheated of their election victory.
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. Stock is a racist on April 4, 2023 at 2:54 am said: No wonder Stock is never invited to parties. He has to turn to evil organizations like Satan and communism. Stock is the hypocrite. 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. Ayn Rand called that looting. I am in favor of such looting.

В частности, прослеживается изменение позиции судей в зависимости от того, основывалось ли обвинение на «Законе о шпионаже» или на «Законе о подстрекательстве к мятежу». В статье уделено внимание влиянию на внутриполитическую ситуацию Американской Лиги Защиты American Protective League , состоявшей из двухсот пятидесяти тысяч патриотически настроенных добровольных членов, которые занимались осведомительской деятельностью, выявлением дезертиров и оказывали психологическое и физическое влияние на тех, кто выступал против участия США в Первой мировой войне. These laws imposed some restrictions on freedom of speech, and were criticized many times afterwards. The article pays attention to the impact on the domestic situation of American Protective League, which consisted of two hundred and fifty thousand patriotic volunteer members who were engaged in informant activities, as well as to psychological and physical pressure over those American citizens who opposed US participation in the First World War.
Мы повторяем — нет, тысячу раз нет! Впрочем, эволюция взглядов Дебса начнется гораздо раньше. Неэффективность узкопрофессиональных союзов для защиты прав рабочих от произвола владельцев железнодорожных компаний была для него очевидна.
В 1893 году он помогает основать на американских железных дорогах первый профсоюз, открытый для рабочих всех компаний и специальностей — от машинистов и прочей «белой кости» до обходчиков и станционной обслуги. Революционный подход для тогдашних США! Новая организация получила название «Американский союз железнодорожников» ARU и быстро зарекомендовала себя с самой боевой стороны. Очевидно, уже тогда отношение к забастовочной борьбе поменялось и у самого Дебса. Кризис на железных дорогах продолжался, и методы минимизации издержек у владельцев не отличались разнообразием. К 1893 году несколько раз за короткое время потеряли в зарплате многие рабочие трансконтинентальной железнодорожной компании Great Northern Railway. ARU помог рабочим организовать забастовку, на 18 дней остановившую движение по магистрали. Мощный отраслевой профсоюз смог быстро добиться своего: конфликт был разрешен с помощью государственного арбитража, сокращения зарплат отменили.
ARU праздновал победу — а уже годом позже вновь организовал массовую стачку в поддержку рабочих компании Пульмана в Чикаго, производившей знаменитые спальные вагоны: Пульман тоже резко сократил зарплаты работникам. Профсоюз во время стачки показал, кажется, все, на что был способен. Забастовка охватила всю железнодорожную сеть США — четверть миллиона работников. На станциях отказывались обслуживать составы, в которых был хоть один пульмановский вагон. А поскольку таких составов было большинство, то стачка почти полностью остановила железнодорожное движение в стране. Тридцать человек погибли в стычках. Для ARU это поражение оказалось фатальным, оправиться после него профсоюз не смог. Сам Дебс после забастовки впервые попал в тюрьму на шесть месяцев.
Вероятно, именно тогда, во время стачки и после нее, его взгляды на задачи профсоюзов и методы рабочей борьбы окончательно изменились. Прежде он был сторонником демократов, но теперь считает, что традиционные партии не выражают интересы рабочих. В 1901 году на ее основе возникла более крупная Социалистическая партия Америки. Бастуйте, как вы голосуете», — обращался он к сторонникам. Дебс с его прошлым ярого организатора и прекрасным ораторским талантом стал лицом новой партии. Надо сказать, что Соцпартия, несмотря на молодость и радикализм, быстро доказала, что может рассчитывать на звание «третьей силы» в тогдашних США — наравне с демократами и республиканцами. Ее представители легко выигрывали местные выборы и занимали посты в органах власти городов и штатов: в распоряжении партии была львиная доля голосов рабочих. Но вот как раз в рабочей среде у социалистов был серьезный противник.
Крупнейшая на тот момент профсоюзная организация страны, Американская федерация труда с почти полумиллионом членов, возглавляемая бывшим табачником Сэмюэлем Гомперсом, открыто критиковала сторонников соцпартии. АФТ отстаивала необходимость компромисса между наемными рабочими и предпринимателями «во имя бесперебойного производства и распределения продукции... Радикально настроенных активистов, в ряды которых отныне попал Дебс, эта позиция не устраивала — на улицах американских городов продолжались столкновения, лилась кровь.

OPINION: A day with Eugene Debs
Eugene Debs made his famous anti-war speech protesting World War I which was raging in Europe. The claim is sometimes made that Eugene Debs promised to pardon himself if elected President in 1920. No one reading Eugene V. Debs: A Graphic Biography could doubt that authors Paul Buhle and Steve Max have accessibility in mind. Стрелял профсоюзный лидер Юджин Дебс, чтобы отметить Четвёртое июля: то был не побег из тюрьмы, то было требованием иной свободы. Their leader Eugene Debs, who actually ran for President more often than Joe Biden, summed up his view of the world in saying. Eugene V. Debs garnered nearly a million votes as the Socialist Party candidate in the 1920 presidential election, despite campaigning from a federal prison.

It was a not a bum rap. Debs had defiantly disobeyed a law he deemed unjust, the Sedition Act of 1918. The act was an anti-free speech measure passed at the behest of President Woodrow Wilson. The law made it illegal for a U.
By the time he was imprisoned for sedition, Eugene Victor Debs had enjoyed a lifetime of running afoul of government authority. 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.
Previously, he was a policy adviser to a U. Senator and Governor. Goddard is also co-author of You Won - Now What? Scribner, 1998 , a political management book hailed by prominent journalists and politicians from both parties.
