A graphic biography about Eugene V. Debs, folk hero and presidential candidate, reminds us of a time when support for socialism was strong in places like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Ohio. Eugene Victor Debs left school at the age of fourteen, to scrape paint and grease off the cars of the Vandalia Railroad, in Indiana, for fifty cents a day.

Они продолжали подбадривать его, пока он шел, а он продолжал махать, пока не достиг ворот». Затем Дебс отправился на железнодорожную станцию, чтобы ехать в свой дом в городе Терре-Хот, штат Индиана. Прибыв на вокзал, он отказался от роскошного пульмановского вагона, заняв вместо этого более скромное место. Разницу в стоимости проезда он пожертвовал в фонд помощи голодающим в Советской России. На станции он сделал заявление прессе по поводу заключенных в тюрьме сторонников: «Я оставил там 2300 человек, и все они должны быть освобождены».

Debs 1855-1926 , who founded several labor unions and represented the Socialist Party of America as candidate for president. He ran five times, the last time from prison in 1920 when he received almost a million votes, and even though he lost he changed political history.
Однако хорошая память очень помогала ему в учении [4]. Юджин Дебс окончил 8 классов и с 14 лет начал свою трудовую деятельность вначале в качестве рабочего-железнодорожника, потом помощника кочегара и, наконец в 1870 , кочегара паровоза. Свою общественную деятельность начал в литературном Оксидентел клубе в родном городе Терре-Хот, в котором по его приглашению выступали Роберт Грин Ингерсолл и Сьюзен Энтони. Перед началом Пульмановской стачки Дебс пытался урегулировать трудовой конфликт мирными средствами. Он предложил Джорджу Пульману вынести вопрос на третейский суд, однако владелец компании отказался.
Тогда Американский союз железнодорожников начал бойкот по всей железнодорожной сети. Спальные "пульманы" отцеплялись по указанию Дебса на запасные пути [5]. Дебс активно работал в стачечном комитете. В его работе ему помогал Теодор Дебс, его брат. В течение трёх недель Дебс послал 9 тысяч телеграмм и посыльных с поручениями [5]. Когда буржуазное руководство страны, попирая элементарные конституционные свободы, решило применить войска для подавления стачки, Юджин Дебс выступил против этого решения, поскольку, по его мнению, агрессия со стороны правительства могла привести к вооружённому восстанию. В то же время пресса критиковала стачечников, называла Дебса диктатором, преследующим личную выгоду [6].
До суда его освободили под залог. В это время он выступает на митингах, призывая рабочих вести последовательную борьбу против капиталистов. 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.
ARU members from all crafts struck and the Great Northern was paralyzed. In less than three weeks time, the union had emerged victorious, winning nearly all of its demands. The power of industrial unionism had been demonstrated! The carriers — and corporate America as a whole -- were determined to smash the ARU because it presented a formidable opponent, a valuable example of what can be achieved when workers organize along industrial lines.
Around the turn of the century, together with other labor and populist political leaders, he founded the Socialist Party of America. He also ran for President of the United States five times, once receiving nearly a million votes as a federal prisoner in the Atlanta Penitentiary. On June 16 1918 , after nearly a half century of union and political organizing — now in his 60s -- Debs gave a speech in Canton, Ohio in opposition to World War I.

По поводу того, что она якобы вербовала инвесторов, Мин Хи Джин сказала: «Я старалась говорить вежливо, я говорила им не связываться с моими вице-президентами. Я никогда не сваливаю все на других.
Я борюсь за них. Мне предлагали так много мест, даже во время моего пребывания здесь. На второй и третий день всей этой истории мне звонили инвесторы, хотя я думала, что моя репутация испорчена». Ее адвокат вмешался: «Вы должны понимать, что она ничего не замышляла». Она продолжила: «Я просто говорю, что получаю звонки от инвесторов. Это сумасшедший мир, где любой сделает все ради денег.
Я сделала все это и получила 16 миллиардов вон? Что касается планов по становлению ADOR самостоятельными, обнаруженных в ходе аудита HYBE, она сказала, что это были просто несерьезные разговоры, вырванные из контекста: «То, что я говорила со своим вице-генеральным директором, — это просто вещи, которые мы обсуждали как близкие люди. Да, некоторые вещи выходили за рамки, но это потому, что разговоры были лишены контекста того, откуда они пришли. Если бы кто-то сформировал мнение о вас определенным образом и отредактировал ваши собственные разговоры, было бы так легко сделать из этого новую историю». Точно так же, что касается ее предполагаемых планов по использованию суверенного фонда Саудовской Аравии в попытке захватить контроль, она, по сути, говорит, что это была шутка: «Мы просто шутили, когда упомянули фонд Саудовской Аравии. Возможно ли это вообще?
Извините, я просто такая. Они манипулируют разговорами, потому что это просто бессмысленно. Для меня все дело в чести. Они знают, что я забочусь о чести, и использовали это против меня, когда я создавала NewJeans, и я не могу их бросить. Пак Джи Вон генеральный директор HYBE , тебе действительно нужно оглянуться назад на свои действия, если ты смотришь это. Он просил меня доверять ему».
Они жалели меня и много плакали». Проливая слезы, она сказала: «Мне больше не нужно заботиться о NewJeans. У меня нет такого желания. Что мне делать с NewJeans? Но это не так. NewJeans действительно мне как дети, поэтому я так себя чувствую.
Так грустно оставить своих детей в HYBE и уйти». Мин Хи Джин заявила: «Если бы я хотела денег, я бы не выдвигала внутренних обвинений.
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. Debs convinced fellow ARU members to join forces with the Brotherhood of the Cooperative Commonwealth - a group advocating the creation of socialist intentional communities - to form the political party Social Democracy of America.
At the origins of the Socialist Labor Party Plans for socialist colonies advocated by the Brotherhood of the Cooperative Commonwealth soon proved unfeasible. While Debs and DeLeon had personal political disagreements, they recognized the importance of forging an alliance between the groups and labor unions they represented. Knopf, 1999.
It is the ruling class that invariably does both. They alone declare war and they alone make peace. The socialist leader received around one million votes, which were around for about six percent of the total ballots cast.

In the crowd, estimated in size between 250 and more than 1,000, were several hundred socialists, sympathizers, and interested bystanders. But the crowd also included a number of individuals who were decidedly not sympathizers or well-wishers, and their presence did not bode well for the featured speaker that day. Enlarge A 14-year-old Eugene Debs seated, far left poses for a photograph with his fellow painters at the Vandalia Railroad in Terre Haute, Indiana, 1870. Debs Collection. Of six children born to Daniel and Marguerite, Eugene was the oldest son. Theodore idolized his brother and later became his devoted assistant. By all accounts, Debs was a good student, but the excitement of working on the railroad was too much for the youngster to ignore. Within a year he became a fireman for the railroad.
Instead, they obscure our path toward a just society at home and abroad. American Democracy vs. When Debs called out the absurdity of the wartime view that patriotism means dying overseas for capitalist profits while treason consists in defending workers everywhere, he showed us the proper response to nationalist ideology: not to try to hijack it for progressive ends, but to liberate us from its obfuscations. Through the ordinary electoral process, a liberal party could fulfill working-class demands by curbing the political power of business, defending democratic rights and freedoms, and guiding capitalist growth according to an inclusive sense of the public good. Most of all, Schlesinger sought to show that Marxism was as foreign to Debs as it was to America. Among the US left, he singled out Debs for praise because, in his view, Debs was always closer to liberal democratic Americanism than Marxist totalitarianism. And as an inveterate democrat, Debs could never accept the revolutionary Marxist program of proletarian class rule, nor could he sacrifice immediate associational freedoms for the sake of historical progress, both of which threatened a totalitarian takeover of democratic institutions. Theory alone would not have brought Debs to socialism if it did not clarify his experience in the labor movement. Ultimately, Schlesinger saw Debs as a useful figure to make a broader argument about the place of the Left in progressive politics. Like Debs or so Schlesinger imagined , leftists should accept the basic justness of American democratic institutions, inhabiting a position of critical dissent that holds liberals to account without ever exercising real independent power.
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.

Under capitalism, the labor process that makes capital productive is designed so that the investment it represents returns a profit. Eugene Debs c. The young Debs also intuited the right goal: labor should control capital, not the other way around. If labor really wanted to control capital in the general interests of society, workers needed to challenge the institution of private property outright.
In capitalism, private property primarily protects domination, not liberty. Economic liberty would not be realized in the pursuit of individual advantage but through collective self-government: participating in democratically planned production and distribution according to need. Dilemmas of Popular Sovereignty After his encounter with Marxism, Debs was adamant that capitalist society could never be made just.
No justice was possible in a society where workers were robbed of the fruit of their labor in exchange for access to work, and where they were kept artificially poor amid rising abundance. Debs often discussed revolution as the realization of democracy, making its promise of popular sovereignty real. Debs often discussed revolution as the realization of democracy , making its promise of popular sovereignty real.
But popular sovereignty is an easy ideal to abuse, making this supposed consensus too contradictory to be coherent. Were workers in democratic America no less the slaves of their capitalist masters than workers in authoritarian Germany? Debs himself often tried to appease different factions in the socialist movement to preserve internal unity, so retrospectively, it can be easy for various camps to claim him as their own.
Revolutionaries can highlight his praise of the Spartacist uprising in Germany and the Bolshevik revolution. Any honest account of Debsian democracy should emphasize that Debs believed in a democratic revolution that would fundamentally remake American political and social institutions. If capital and the state formed part of an integrated social system, it was an illusion to think that the forms of democracy permitted by American institutions could be radically weaponized against capitalist power.
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. 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.
Thus, he then assisted in the organizing of the brakemen, switchmen, carmen and telegraphers among other crafts, into their respective craft unions. Not long after, Debs resigned his position as Secretary-Treasurer of the BLF despite the mass objection of the firemen rank and file. After years of first hand experience with the failures of the old craft unionism, Debs was now firmly convinced of the need for this new advanced form of union — the industrial union — where all workers in the industry would be organized as a whole, as opposed to separated — and hence ineffectual — under the old outmoded craft union structure.
The American Railway Union generated wide interest and support among the rail workers of North America. Rails were signing up at the rate of 2,000 a week, and within six months the new organization had 150,000 members! ARU members from all crafts struck and the Great Northern was paralyzed. In less than three weeks time, the union had emerged victorious, winning nearly all of its demands.
While I was at the Debs house I thought about Republican Senator and Voldemort lookalike Rick Scott , who recently said socialists and communists were not welcome in the state of Florida. He is an example to all socialists. Faith in the people is crucial. It is ultimately the workers themselves who will bring about radical change. What we should take from Debs, each and every worker, is his courage, his willingness to struggle. Like Moses never saw the promised land, Debs never saw socialism — may he forgive me for the comparison. But I know we will get there eventually. A world without exploitation, without prisons, without war.
