I Am For Socialism Because

Private Appropriation Of The Earth’s Surface, The Natural Resources, And The Means Of Life Is Nothing Less A Crime Than A Crime Against Humanity, But The Comparative Few Who Are Beneficiaries Of This Iniquitous Social Arrangement, Far From Being Viewed As Criminals Meriting Punishment, Are The Exalted Rulers Of Society, And The People They Exploit Gladly Render Them Homage And Obeisance.

The General Public Knows Practically Nothing About The Prison And Appears To Be Little Concerned About How It Is Managed And How Prisoners Are Treated.

In All The History Of Organized Labor, From The Earliest Times To The Present Day, No Body Of Union Workingmen Ever Served In A More Humiliating And Debasing Role Than That In Which The Railway Unions Appear At This Very Hour Before The American People And The World.

I'd Rather Vote For Something I Want And Not Get It Than Vote For Something I Don't Want, And Get It.
