Debs, His Life, Writings and Speeches

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Socialists are not hero-worshippers. We do not believe that occasionally 'great men have been created who have lifted the human race a notch higher or a degree forwarder. Neither do we put our faith in leaders. We understand that the emancipation of the working class will not be granted by the generosity of the capitalist class, nor by the acumen and honesty of great leaders. Wage workers must trust in themselves. Their interests alone are at all times identical.
