Summary
With rising income inequality featured in the Presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, a new generation of activists is looking to figures like Eugene Debs for inspiration on how to build a socialist movement in America. Tens of thousands of people have joined groups like the Democratic Socialists of America in the last year. The Haymarket social media campaign featuring a Debs’ quote about political swindle saw tremendous response the week of the Trump’s new tax legislation. Many Americans today are eager to learn more about the radical traditions in our own history and Debs, one of the most prominent faces of American socialism, is in demand now more than ever.
