I am amazed that the only " interesting " Democratic candidate for president ", socialist " Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont , has been called a contemporary Eugene V. Debs- by political know-nothings . Let Sanders read Deb's famous Canton Speech in which he denounced the Great War as an imperialist war and made the point that the ONLY just war was CLASS war.
It is fatuous for a socialist to even try to act like a STATESMAN-IN-EXILE-looking with favor on one rotten national imperialism or another What CLASS truth is revealed in any of the world's convoluted conflicts? To be sure, no LIE -expressed in English, French, German, Russian,Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.- can ever serve the working class or the cause of socialism.
CLASS TRUTH is what I often find at socialist web sites. But it is hardly ever self-evident. Only lively democratic debate can get to the bottom of tough issues. The alternative is to be mired in absurd personality cults.
