We recognize the class struggle,
we demand the surrender of capitalism,
a system that must die
that the people may live.

From Wilshire’s Magazine: Eugene Debs on “Winning the World
The following article by Comrade Debs is from the most recent edition of Wilshire’s:
Winning a World.
by Eugene V. Debs—–
The Socialist movement is as wide as the world, and its mission is to win the world—the whole world—from animalism, and consecrate it to humanity.
What a tremendous task!
And what a royal privilege to share in it!
To win a world is worthy of a race of gods.
And in the winning, men develop godlike attributes, since all men are potential gods.
To the strained and vigilant eye of the Socialist on the watchtower all is well in point of outlook.
Capitalism has had its day of carnage
and its crimson sun is slowly but
surely sinking in the west.
Not more certain is the sunrise on the morrow
than the coming of the sure-evolving
Cooperative Commonwealth.
