While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prision, I am not free. -Eugene V Debs.

While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles.

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People."

(Canton, OH, Anti-War Speech, June 16, 1918)

I have no country to fight for: my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.
