Season 8: The Great American Socialist: Eugene Debs

You need to listen to this album. If this guy was alive today, he'd be the greatest threat capitalism and neoliberalism had ever seen. A railroad man that set up the unions then walked away from them when they became capitalist tools, the enemy of the plutocrat and friend of the working man, won 3% of the Presidential vote in 1920 despite being a socialist and in prison for sedition... a geniune American hero, and one of the best articulators of the need for social justice that's ever been born.

He's my pick for the greatest orator covered so far, which is a hell of a thing to say, given that the competition includes Robespierre, Napoleon, and Frederick Douglass.

Essential listening for anyone with even the faintest interest in social justice, unionism, socialism, or capitalism.
