About this audiobook
While there is a lower class I am in it; While there is a criminal class I am of it; While there is a soul in prison I am not free. ( Eugene V. Debs)This collection of essays charts the thought and character of Eugene V. Debs. Debs was an influential early American labor leader, a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and a Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.In these essays, Debs employs his characteristically fiery rhetoric in a spirited defense of worker's rights, organized labor, women's suffrage, class solidarity, and the principles of economic socialism.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5If you want Dragnet's Jack Webb to read Debs to you, this is your audiobook.
OTOH, Debs' speeches themselves are priceless. But America being the capitalist-loving place it is (including Jack), no one knows them. Most people don't even know the name. If they did, they'd STILL throw him in jail, 100 years later. Nothing has changed.
