Labor leader, radical, Socialist, presidential candidate: Eugene Victor Debs was a homegrown American original. Debs came to the conclusion that no strike or labor movement could ultimately be successful as long as the government was controlled by the capitalist class.

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. Юджин Дебс — легенда американского рабочего движения, один из организаторов профсоюза «Индустриальные рабочие мира» и Социалистической партии Америки. He could follow the playbook of the socialist firebrand Eugene V. Debs, who in 1920 received nearly a million votes while behind bars.
OPINION: A day with Eugene Debs
This day in 1919, Socialist leader Eugene V Debs is sent to prison for violating the Espionage Act in his opposition to WWI. Юджин Виктор «Джен» Дебс — деятель рабочего и левого движения США, один из организаторов Социалистической партии Америки. A Democratic activist who writes under the pseudonym “Eugene Victor Debs” at the FrumForum has taken me to task for arguing in my forthcoming book and in a recent blog post that President Obama.

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. 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.

В 1908 году, Дебс получил около 500 тысяч голосов. В 1920 году Дебс был выдвинут снова, в этот раз находясь в заключении, и показал примерно такие же результаты, что и на выборах в 1912 году.
После 1921 года, Дебс отходит от активной политики и сосредостачивается на агитационной деятельности в пользу социализма. Вплоть до своей смерти, Дебс путешествует по Америке, устраивая лекции при поддержке своего брата Теодора Дебса. На покрытие этих и других расходов у Дебса часто уходили все его сбережения.
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. Furthermore, not only was the 2020 Presidential election remarkably close, but any objective examination of the facts clearly proves that outcome was stolen from Trump. This easily explains the widespread protests by his supporters in DC on January 6th, as I discussed a few days later.

Bernie and Eugene Debs cadence and intonations are eerily similar but in the most comforting way. Zeeshan Aleem: Who was Eugene Debs, and how was this man able to secure a full 3% of the vote while in prison? Close to a million voters agreed with Debs sufficiently that they voted for him when he ran for president in 1920 from his jail cell at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.

Eugene V. Debs - Pioneer Rail Labor Leader
The President sent in Regular Army troops to quell the violence and subdue the strikers. Convicted of violating the injunction, Debs was sentenced to six months in jail. While serving his prison term, Debs reexamined his political philosophy and declared himself a socialist. By the time Debs was released from prison in November 1895, he had become a nationally recognized celebrity and political force. The socio-political beliefs that had attracted Debs and the other members to establish the defunct ARU now gathered to form the new Socialist Party with Eugene Debs as its head. Now a Celebrity, Debs Seeks Presidency Even while Debs immersed himself in socialist politics, he still sought the formation of a labor union that encompassed his goals of inclusivity for all workers. They saw American involvement as a class struggle wherein workers were to be sacrificed for corporate benefit and greed. As the United States moved onto a war footing, socialists like Debs enthusiastically voiced their opposition at speaking engagements and through the press.
Наши хореографы очень разозлились. С нашей стороны было бы неправильно ничего не сказать.
Мин Хи Джин подчеркнула, что у нее нет планов захватывать власть, заявив: «Я наемный генеральный директор. Я не знаю, почему наемный генеральный директор, который так усердно работает, становится мишенью». Это противоречит правам акционеров». 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.
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. 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.

Eugene V. Debs - Pioneer Rail Labor Leader
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. During the special national convention in Cleveland in 1925, Debs described the event as so poorly organized and with such low attendance that Debs described the Socialist Party to be "as near a corpse as a thing can be.
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. He wrote it was the "corrupt Biden Administration" that informed his attorneys about the indictment, "seemingly over the Boxes Hoax.
Debs spent the last five years of his life turning the USSA into the Communist country he had worked for. This, however, was difficult in the state that the economy was in, so he allowed some capitalist practices to remain until the country was rebuilt.
Debs was a renowned Socialist Union leader who supported the Industrial Workers globally. He achieved this by starting one of his industrial union in the United States. Eugene played an imperative role in the formation of the American Railway Union. Debs was one of the devoted socialist that stood for his nation to the latter. He enrolled at Terre Haute Public school, but he was forced to drop out at 14 years old. He soon began to work as a painter in different railroads before embarking on a fireman position. The struggles and hardships taught him how to have a die-hard life. He had compassion for human beings no matter the religion or race. He felt for the poor workers who worked more for fewer pennies. There and then he created a Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen where he chaired the secretary and treasurer department.
