More quotes by Eugene V. Debs
I have no country to fight for my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.
Eugene V. Debs
Capitalism needs and must have the prison to protect itself from the criminals it has created.
Eugene V. Debs
Thousands of years ago the question was asked: Am I my brother's keeper? That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.
Eugene V. Debs
We want a system in which the worker shall get what he produces and the capitalist shall produce what he gets.
Eugene V. Debs
Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation.
Eugene V. Debs
Do not worry over the charge of treason to your masters, but be concerned about the treason that involves yourselves. Be true to yourself and you cannot be a traitor to any good cause on earth.
Eugene V. Debs
As a rule, large capitalists are Republicans and small capitalists are Democrats, but workingmen must remember that they are all capitalists, and that the many small ones, like the fewer large ones, are all politically supporting their class interests, and this is always and everywhere the capitalist class.
Eugene V. Debs
It is when you have done your work honestly, when you have contributed your share to the common fund that you begin to live.
Eugene V. Debs
Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results.
Eugene V. Debs
When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks.
Eugene V. Debs
The people can have anything they want, the only problem is they do not want anything.
Eugene V. Debs
The truth has always been dangerous to the rule of the rogue, the exploiter, the robber. So the truth must be supressed.
Eugene V. Debs
The prison, above all others, should be the most human of institutions.
Eugene V. Debs
From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet I am Bolshevik, and proud of it.
Eugene V. Debs
The rights of one are as sacred as the rights of a million.
Eugene V. Debs
If the people would but analyze the human equation of a prison they might better account for the crimes that are visited upon them in cities, towns, and hamlets, ofttimes by men who graduated with an education and equipment for just that sort of retributive service from some penal institution.
Eugene V. Debs
I do not oppose the insane asylum - but I abhor and condemn the cutthroat system that robs man of his reason, drives him to insanity and makes the lunatic asylum an indispensable adjunct to every civilized community.
Eugene V. Debs
The workers are the saviors of society, the redeemers of the race.
Eugene V. Debs
The Republican and Democratic parties, or, to be more exact, the Republican-Democratic party, represent the capitalist class in the class struggle. They are the political wings of the capitalist system and such differences as arise between them relate to spoils and not to principles.
Eugene V. Debs
Anybody can be nobody but it takes a man to be somebody.
Eugene V. Debs
