Socialist ex-Presidential Candidate Eugene Debs: Poverty Is Capitalism’s Great Crime

[basquebromance]

In 1920, Eugene Debs ran for President while in prison. But as a practical matter, someone in prison can’t campaign, do fundraisers, debates, or anything required to be viable. Trump won’t be viable in 2024 anyway.

Eugene Debs: Poverty Is Capitalism’s Great Crime

Eugene Debs was famous for excoriating the barbarities of capitalism, including the right-wing notion of the “unworthy poor.” As Debs writes in the following 1915 article, republished here for the first time, every human deserves to be free from poverty.

Here's the thing, BB. If Trump doesn't run in 2024, the R's don't stand a chance of a snowball in you know where.

If JEB! or Mitt or Liz are nominated, I'll vote for Sleepy Joe to keep them out.

Since the Trumpster has a tremendous fortune already raised in donations, he can wait until 2028 to make another effort.

What makes you think that the Hardcore socialism from folks like Biden, Bernie or AOC is in Kansas voters' interests?

I think they are more likely to know their own interests than what some academic writing a book in an ivory tower would.

Soviets never got to vote for anyone and they were even poorer than Kansans.
