Eugene Debs made his famous anti-war speech protesting World War I which was raging in Europe. The Eugene Debs Museum filled me with hope for a world without exploitation. I’m not sure whether Donald Trump has ever heard of Eugene Debs, the austerely incorruptible early leader of America’s Socialist Party. I'm not sure whether Donald Trump has ever heard of Eugene Debs, the austerely incorruptible early leader of America's Socialist Party. 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.
June 16, 1918: Eugene V. Debs Speech Against WWI
Юджин Дебс покидает Белый дом вскоре после своего освобождения из тюрьмы, 1921 год. Текст научной работы на тему «История злоключений Юджина Дебса или как американское правительство боролось с «Пятой колонной» в годы первой мировой войны». Судя по реакции Дебса на фразу Вэна, ему пришлось спросить тиммейтов на сцене, какую шутку он пропустил. 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.
Eugene V. Debs, Presidential Contender
Add to that the uniformly hostile media coverage, and Trump’s prospects of acquittal seem as dim as those faced by Debs in the wartime atmosphere of 1918. In 1916, with World War I raging, socialist leader Eugene V. Debs wrote a short piece condemning the nationalism that had thrown soldiers into trench warfare and machine-gun slaughter.

On July 2, 1894, federal judges in Chicago issued an injunction prohibiting Debs and the strikers from interfering with the regular transmittal of mail via the railroad. As the strike spread and the injunction failed to halt the strikers, Pullman and other railroad owners called on President Grover Cleveland for support. 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.
Терре-Хот по избирательному списку от демократов. Забастовка длится 18 дней. Владельцы железной дороги удовлетворяют все требования бастующих рабочих. По приказу президента США Г. Кливленда забастовка была подавлена федеральными войсками. Джирарде, штат Канзас. В 1908 и 1912 гг. Лудлоу, штат Колорадо; призывает рабочих к сопротивлению. Дебс совершает турне по стране, выступает против войны в Европе, за установление мира между народами, против подготовки США к вступлению в Первую мировую войну. Публикует много сильных антивоенных статей.
The government had shut down socialist publications, such as Appeal to Reason and The Masses. The breakdown of capitalism saw a short-lived revival of organized labor during the 1930s, often led by the Communist Party, and during a short period after World War II, and this resurgence triggered yet another prolonged assault by the capitalist class. We have returned to an oligarchic purgatory. Wall Street and the global corporations, including the fossil fuel industry and the war industry, have iron control over the government. The social, political and civil rights won by workers in long and bloody struggles have been stripped away. Government regulations have been rolled back to permit capitalists to engage in abuse and fraud. The political elites, along with their courtiers in the media and academia, are hapless corporate stooges. Social and economic inequality replicates the worst excesses of the robber barons. And the great civic, labor and political organizations that fought for working men and women are moribund or dead.
We have to begin all over again. And we must do so understanding, as Debs did, that any accommodation with members of the capitalist class is futile and self-defeating. They are the enemy. They will degrade and destroy everything, including the ecosystem, to get richer. They are not capable of reform. It has about 700 visitors a year. Rarely do these visits include school groups. The valiant struggle by radical socialists and workers, hundreds of whom were murdered in labor struggles, has been consciously erased from our history and replaced with the vacuity of celebrity culture and the cult of the self. There is the key to the cell in which he was held when he was jailed the first time.
There is a photo of Convict No. There are gifts including an intricately inlaid wooden table and an ornately carved cane that prisoners sent to Debs, a tireless advocate for prisoner rights. I read a passage from a speech he gave in 1905 in Chicago: The capitalist who does no useful work has the economic power to take from a thousand or ten thousand workingmen all they produce, over and above what is required to keep them in working and producing order, and he becomes a millionaire, perhaps a multi-millionaire. He lives in a palace in which there is music and singing and dancing and the luxuries of all climes. He sails the high seas in his private yacht. He is the economic master and the political ruler and you workingmen are almost as completely at his mercy as if you were his property under the law. I leafed through copies of Appeal to Reason, the Socialist party newspaper Debs edited, which once had almost 800,000 readers and the fourth highest circulation in the country. Debs, like many of his generation, was literate. It became his own.
He was well aware, like Hugo, that the good were usually relentlessly persecuted, that they were not rewarded for virtue and that those who held fast to truth and justice often found their way to their own cross.

Антивоенная речь Юджина Дебса в исполнении Марка Руффало
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. 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.
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. Я могу заработать как минимум 100 миллиардов вон приблизительно 73 миллиона долларов , просто сидя на месте. Но я не могу видеть то, что мне не нравится, поэтому мне приходится об этом говорить. Вот почему я страдаю». Я обычный человек из художественной школы.
Послевоенная разруха, голод, столетиями кочевавший по многим российским губерниям, унося десятки, сотни тысяч жизней, жёсткие санкции со стороны более развитых стран, безграмотность подавляющей части населения, сопротивление оставшихся ещё многочисленных приверженцев прежнего экономического уклада — ничто не смогло сломить волю миллионов людей в их стремлении навсегда покончить со всеми кошмарами, которые они пережили. Ничто не смогло поколебать твёрдой уверенности, отчётливого понимания того, что только напряжённым совместным трудом они смогут добиться поставленных задач. Им было не привыкать к тяжёлому и напряжённому труду.
An idealistic, impassioned fighter for economic and social justice, he was brilliant, eloquent and eminently human. Five times the Socialist candidate for president, his last campaign was run from federal prison where he garnered almost a million votes.

Юджин Дебс – цитаты
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. Get stories like this in your inbox.
Наёмные работники, в частности, находились во власти своих богатых работодателей, которые определяли, будут ли они зарабатывать достаточно, чтобы обеспечить себя и свои семьи жильём, одежой и пропитанием. В отсутствие системы социальной поддержки со стороны государства, право увольнять работников фактически давало богатым промышленникам возможность доводить до нищеты требовавших лучших условий или просто избыточных для нужд компании рабочих. Огромные состояния промышленных миллионеров также обеспечивали им широкое политическое влияние, как посредством прямых взяток, так и за счёт более тонких влиятельных связей. Выступая с критикой такого положения вещей, Дебс считал, что следует по стопам давней республиканской традиции США, которая заявляла о ценности свободы своих граждан.
Однако его собственный путь через трудовую борьбу «позолоченного века» привёл Дебса к более радикальному выводу, чем у его предшественников-республиканцев. Он требовал однозначной социалистической республики, в которой все могли бы быть свободными. Дебс обратил язык республиканской мысли против боссов и системы, которая поддерживала их власть Сегодня большинство людей понимают под республиканством отказ от монархии — эту позицию Дебс охотно разделял с предыдущими поколениями американцев, которые расстались с королём Георгом III. Но враждебность к королевской власти — лишь малая часть гораздо более богатой республиканской философии, уходящей корнями в древний мир. Республиканцы выступают за свободу граждан, которые могут объединиться для достижения общего блага. Подчинение чьему-либо произволу они признают великим злом. У того, кто вынужден полагаться только на добрую волю, нет свободы, даже если с ним хорошо обращаются.
Такой человек действует лишь по благоволению другого. Таково унизительное положение крепостных и подданных абсолютных монархов, какими бы добрыми и просвещёнными ни были их хозяева. Свобода гражданина всегда была драгоценна для республиканцев. Но определение этого гражданства могло быть таким узким, что в нём не было места для женщин, бедняков или тех, кто не принадлежит к правящей расовой касте. Таким образом, к радости своих коллег-критиков взрослеющей американской республики Сэмюэл Джонсон смог задать вопрос: «Почему громче всех о свободе орут надсмотрщики за неграми? С самого начала своей карьеры в качестве профсоюзного организатора он даже заявлял, что борется с «нарушениями прав, которые принимают некоторые формы рабства». Опираясь на идеи, уходящие корнями в классицизм, он предупреждал о безотчётной власти монархов и на то были веские причины, учитывая, что его самого впоследствии обезглавят за государственную измену.
Сочинения Сидни окрестили «учебником революции», и, отчасти благодаря его влиянию, мы видим, что создатели Конституции США, такие как Александр Гамильтон, проводят различие между свободой и состоянием рабства, в котором кто-то «управляется волей другого». Сама возможность неограниченного британского налогообложения без представительства в парламенте, казалось бы, отвечала всем требованиям. Но ни Сидней, ни Гамильтон не стали бы бороться с тяжёлым положением слуг и наёмных рабочих в условиях той республики. Дебс обратил звонкоголосый язык республиканской политической мысли против боссов и всей системы, которая поддерживала их власть. Подобно республиканцам прошлого, он предупреждал о фатальной зависимости от произвола других. Но вместо того, чтобы нападать на безграничную власть короля или заморского законодательного органа, он адаптировал этот анализ к условиям быстро индустриализирующейся капиталистической экономики. Не могло быть политического равенства, когда рабочие зависели от капиталистов, владевших ресурсами, инструментами и машинами, необходимыми для зарабатывания на жизнь.
Дебс пришёл к выводу, что: «Ни один человек не свободен в каком-либо справедливом смысле, если ему приходится полагаться на произвол другого ради возможности работать». Но эта несвобода была реальностью для большинства трудящихся, которые работали и, следовательно, жили с разрешения начальства. Ключевым моментом того, как Дебс понимал работу при капитализме, был контроль. Длительный рабочий день, небезопасные условия и изнурительный характер большей части этого труда не остались для него незамеченными. Как бывший кочегар локомотива, которому приходилось кидать лопатой уголь в топку паровоза, Дебс знал, что такое изнурительная работа. Он также не питал никаких иллюзий по поводу ужасных условий на заводах, фабриках, в шахтах и на фермах, где рабочие изо дня в день горбатились за скудное вознаграждение. Но недовольство Дебса было более фундаментальным, чем неудовольствие от плохих условий труда или даже низкой заработной платы — оно метило в отсутствие свободы в самом сердце экономики.
Республиканцы хотят устранить произвол власти, а не доверять её мудрым и добрым правителям. В этом духе Цицерон заметил, что «свобода состоит не в том, чтобы иметь справедливого господина, а в том, чтобы не иметь его». Сидни прибавил: «Раб тот, кто служит самому лучшему и благородному человеку в мире, а также тот, кто служит худшему; и он действительно служит ему, если тот должен подчиняться его приказам, и зависит от его воли». Дебс видел, что в таком положении оказались те рабочие, которые отчаянно нуждались в заработной плате и не могли противостоять жёсткой дисциплине работодателей, которая шла с ней впридачу. Такой жизнью одни жили под властью других, чьей благосклонностью или неудовольствием определялось, будет ли в семье еда и крыша над головой. Находиться под каблуком класса, который видит, что вы умираете от голода — имея много хозяев, а не одного владельца — значит испытать, хотя бы в некоторой степени, характерную несвободу раба. Если целью была свобода, то решением для такой уязвимости не могли стать более любезные начальники, полные отцовской любви к своим работникам.
Вместо этого контроль должен принадлежать гражданам, а не плутократам и их приспешникам. Это убеждение привело Дебса к социализму, который стремится обеспечить экономическую свободу для всех.
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. In 1875 Debs, now unemployed, accepted a position with H.

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 by the summer of 1926, his health deteriorated to the point where he was forced to go into Lindlahr Sanitarium. There, Debs passed away on October 20, 1926. According to " The Papers of Eugene V. Debs was called everything from a " preacher of applied anarchy " to " the blue-eyed boy of destiny. But before long, he changed his mind and considered them "an essential and legitimate tool for workers," according to " Eugene V.
When speaking to miners in 1902, Debs declared that the Socialist Party "proposes to abolish the capitalist system to transfer from private hands all the means of production and distribution and turn them over to the people in their collective capacity.

This article originally appeared on The Conversation. On April 4, 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the indictment of former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump on 34 felony charges related to alleged crimes involving bookkeeping on a 7-year-old hush money payment to an adult film actress. Trump is unlikely to wind up in an orange jumpsuit, at least not on this indictment, and probably not before November 2024, in any case.
Yet if he does, he would not be the first candidate to run for the White House from the Big House. In the election of 1920, Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist Party presidential candidate, polled nearly a million votes without ever hitting the campaign trail. Debs was behind bars in the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia, serving a 10-year sentence for sedition. 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.

My mother and I were lucky to have a tour of the house. Others would join us later, but for half of the tour we were one-on-one with the guide who made Debs feel alive and relevant, mixing his story with spirited political conversation about capitalism, prisons and war.
Debs has lost none of his vitality in a world rife with inequality, brutal prisons and imperialist wars. Debs hated prisons because they degraded humankind. The table, beautiful and still standing, is a testament to human resistance. Being at the Debs house filled me with hope and inspiration.
Debs is defined by his courage. Espousing socialism invites controversy from every corner, but Debs was never afraid to speak out and did so at great personal cost.
Afterward, he founded the Industrial Workers of the World union. It was a weekly magazine that achieved high accolades due to his high pitch of writing. In the mid of June in 1918, Eugene protested against the World War I where he came out with a negative speech. As a result, he was arrested and later convicted in court. Unfortunately, he founded himself behind bars for ten years.
While in prison Debs was selected to vie for the presidency under Socialist party union. He received over a million votes, but Warren G. Harding took the seat. Debs received a heroic welcome after serving his term in jail. He continued to write thousands of articles while still making important speeches.
I have preferred to go to prison. I am thinking of the women who for a paltry wage are compelled to work out their barren lives; of the little children who in this system are robbed of their childhood and in their tender years are seized in the remorseless grasp of Mammon and forced into the industrial dungeons, there to feed the monster machines while they themselves are being starved and stunted, body and soul. I see them dwarfed and diseased and their little lives broken and blasted because in this high noon of Christian civilization money is still so much more important than the flesh and blood of childhood. In very truth gold is god today and rules with pitiless sway in the affairs of men. In this country—the most favored beneath the bending skies—we have vast areas of the richest and most fertile soil, material resources in inexhaustible abundance, the most marvelous productive machinery on earth, and millions of eager workers ready to apply their labor to that machinery to produce in abundance for every man, woman, and child—and if there are still vast numbers of our people who are the victims of poverty and whose lives are an unceasing struggle all the way from youth to old age, until at last death comes to their rescue and lulls these hapless victims to dreamless sleep, it is not the fault of the Almighty: it cannot be charged to nature, but it is due entirely to the outgrown social system in which we live that ought to be abolished not only in the interest of the toiling masses but in the higher interest of all humanity. I believe, as all Socialists do, that all things that are jointly needed and used ought to be jointly owned—that industry, the basis of our social life, instead of being the private property of a few and operated for their enrichment, ought to be the common property of all, democratically administered in the interest of all. This order of things cannot always endure. I have registered my protest against it. I recognize the feebleness of my effort, but, fortunately, I am not alone. There are multiplied thousands of others who, like myself, have come to realize that before we may truly enjoy the blessings of civilized life, we must reorganize society upon a mutual and cooperative basis; and to this end we have organized a great economic and political movement that spreads over the face of all the earth. There are today upwards of sixty millions of Socialists, loyal, devoted adherents to this cause, regardless of nationality, race, creed, color, or sex. They are all making common cause. They are spreading with tireless energy the propaganda of the new social order. They are waiting, watching, and working hopefully through all the hours of the day and the night. They are still in a minority. But they have learned how to be patient and to bide their time. The feel—they know, indeed—that the time is coming, in spite of all opposition, all persecution, when this emancipating gospel will spread among all the peoples, and when this minority will become the triumphant majority and, sweeping into power, inaugurate the greatest social and economic change in history. In that day we shall have the universal commonwealth—the harmonious cooperation of every nation with every other nation on earth. I realize that finally the right must prevail. I never so clearly comprehended as now the great struggle between the powers of greed and exploitation on the one hand and upon the other the rising hosts of industrial freedom and social justice. I can see the dawn of the better day for humanity. The people are awakening. In due time they will and must come to their own. When the mariner, sailing over tropic seas, looks for relief from his weary watch, he turns his eyes toward the southern cross, burning luridly above the tempest-vexed ocean. As the midnight approaches, the southern cross begins to bend, the whirling worlds change their places, and with starry finger-points the Almighty marks the passage of time upon the dial of the universe, and though no bell may beat the glad tidings, the lookout knows that the midnight is passing and that relief and rest are close at hand. Let the people everywhere take heart of hope, for the cross is bending, the midnight is passing, and joy cometh with the morning. His citizenship was not restored until five decades after his 1926 death. The labor movement and socialist party he had struggled to build had been ruthlessly crushed, often through violent attacks orchestrated by the state and corporations and mass arrests and deportations carried out during the Palmer Raids in November 1919 and January 1920.
