Yes excellent post D’, I did a cheapskate version and just posted Eugene’s quotes.
Eugene Debs
Secret Agent Man
“As with so many recent papers, this one wasn’t easy for me to write. Not because the research was difficult, but because it required me to give up an old hero. Debs wasn’t as near to my heart as Chomsky had been, but it was still not pleasant realizing the truth. Although I was never a Socialist, Debs had always appealed to me for his work with unions as well as his strong convictions and his memorable quotes and speeches. I had always thought of him as cut from the same cloth as Thoreau and John Brown and so on.
Of course it was my exposé on Marx that led me to this paper. Once I realized that Marx was an obvious agent and that Marxism was simply a front for the Industrialists, I naturally began to look with suspicion at all famous Marxists or Socialists. Given what I uncovered in that paper, Debs would either have to be a dupe or an agent. After studying his bio closely, I conclude he was not a dupe.”
