(47 posts)18. Debs was a giant.
Overly optimistic in his visions of the class consciousness and the direction of the working class in the US, but a giant in agitating for workers and labor nonetheless. The authoritarianism and totalitarianism of "actually existing socialist" governments and experiments didn't help matters, but his words and agitation should haunt the souls of anyone still dedicated to business as usual and the current relationship between capital and labor.
