Epic FF for the ages.  One of the best.

As I believe Cathcon said in my poll on Vito Marcantonio, communist tool.  HP.

Eugene Debs wasn't a communist.

No, but he was a socialist, which is communism's next-door neighbor.  After all, the only major difference is communism is authoritarian and socialism is democratic.

In the same way that your ideology is fascism's next-door neighbor, sure.

From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet I am Bolshevik, and proud of it.  Debs

Said in 1919, still in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.  In the 20's, he became a fierce critic of the USSR.
