  Eugene V. Debs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Debs tried to persuade the ARU members who worked on the railways that the boycott was too risky, given the hostility of both the railways and the federal government, the weakness of the ARU, and the possibility that other unions would break the strike.
Debs was, however, largely dismissive of the electoral process: he distrusted the political bargains that Victor Berger and other "sewer socialists" had made in winning local offices and put much more value on the organization of workers, particularly on industrial lines.
Debs was a charismatic speaker who called on the vocabulary of Christianity and much of the oratorical style of evangelism—even though he was generally disdainful of organized religion.

 E.V. Debs by James P Cannon
Debs was by far the most popular socialist in the heyday of the party, and in the public mind he stood for the party.
Debs was a many-sided man, the like of which the movement has not seen, and this gave rise to misinterpretations by some who saw only one facet of his remarkable personality; and to misrepresentations by others who knew the whole man but chose to report only that part which seemed to serve their purpose.
Debs’ course in the internal conflicts of the party was also influenced by his theory of leadership, which he was inclined to equate with bureaucracy.

Debs suggests we move to socialism to free the few and enslave the many under the totalitarian state that is sure to follow.
Debs claims under his socialism that workers will be able to garner the benefit of their hard work through “a certificate of value equivalent to that of their production” (Debs 13).
Debs’ argument to this is the current social and economic structure has failed because the poor are still visible and uncared for, thus the Rule of Law under a capitalist regime would only make things more inequitable.

This book tells of Chavez and his union’s struggles: to raise farmworker pay from $1.40 an hour; to win union recognition from savagely resistant grape and lettuce growers; to stop the use of deadly pesticides that were killing children in the fields.
The pacifist Chavez endured several month-long fasts to counteract what he saw as a growing tendency toward violence in the farmworker movement, and many think those heroic acts contributed to his early death, at the age of 64.

Debs was a combination of things: laborer, philosopher, public office holder, labor leader, and perennial presidential candidate.
Unfortunately for Debs in 1912, the issue of populism was now becoming semi-respectable, and others with more name recognition were willing to take the banner that Debs had manfully carried alone in past elections.
Debs also championed unskilled workers, many of them African-Americans, of the American Railroad Union, pitting him against Samuel Gompers and the skilled white workers of the AFL, and he advocated women's suffrage.

It is one of three projected volumes to be produced by the Fourth Internationalist Tendency to document this struggle.

Finally, there is material reflecting some of the thinking in the Fourth Internationalist Tendency on the process which should take place to unite what remains of the Trotskyist movement in the United States, as of the time of its 1990 national conference.
