Labor and Freedom By: Eugene V. Debs
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 255.1 MB
Overview: What were once widely known and popular ideas (nearly a million votes for Debs for President in the election of 1912) became somewhat lost to us. The history we are taught in the US was stripped of these ideas in order to draw a line more clearly between the US and the several nations of the world in which these ideas succeeded in becoming the dominant political force; our Cold War adversaries.
Most of these nations have long since abandoned these ideas. In truth, the implementations were deeply flawed and the nations on that list were cruelly oppressive dictatorships. This version of socialism did not work as it was promised it would; the economies operating under these structures were not “fair”; they were not “the worker’s paradise”. They failed completely. Debs was wrong.
However, nations that adopted parts of these ideas of which Debs writes and speaks have enjoyed economies that treat their citizens more humanely than most others: stronger social safety nets, universal healthcare, better public education, free college education, lower incarceration rates, and more.
