I Am For Socialism Because I Am

Speaking Of Myself, I Was Made To Realize Long Ago That The Old Trade Union Was Utterly Incompetent To Deal Successfully With The Exploiting Corporations In This Struggle. I Was Made To See That In Craft Unionism The Capitalist Class Have It Within Their Power To Keep The Workers Divided, To Use One Part Of Them To Conquer And Crush Another Part Of Them. Indeed, I Was Made To See That The Old Form Of Unionism Separates The Workers And Keeps Them Helpless At The Mercy Of Their Masters.

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

The American People Can Have Anything They Want; The Trouble Is, They Don't Know What They Want.

I Am Not A Capitalist Soldier; I Am A Proletarian Revolutionist. I Do Not Belong To The Regular Army Of The Plutocracy, But To The Irregular Army Of The People. I Refuse To Obey Any Command To Fight From The Ruling Class, But I Will Not Wait To Be Commanded To Fight For The Working Class. I Am Opposed To Every War But One; I Am For That War With Heart And Soul, And That Is The World-wide War Of Social Revolution. In That War I Am Prepared To Fight In Any Way The Ruling Class May Make Necessary, Even To The Barricades.

Yes, I Am My Brother's Keeper. I Am Under A Moral Obligation To Him That Is Inspired, Not By Any Maudlin Sentimentality But By The Higher Duty I Owe Myself. What Would You Think Me If I Were Capable Of Seating Myself At A Table And Gorging Myself With Food And Saw About Me The Children Of My Fellow Beings Starving To Death?
