"HUNDREDS rally outside Mamdani’s home as critics DEMAND his removal ": ‘BIGOTRY ] Long ago American socialist Eugene V. Debs declared " I am an American Bolshevik " . Compare him to New York City Mayor Mamdani ?

Mayor Mamdani is not the flaming pro -Islam , pro -socialist radical that assorted ZIONIST Jews ( Republican or Democrat ) in " OUR democracy " make him out to be. He is closer to the phony " far left " ( ? ) Bernie Sanders led wing of the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party . What kind of " socialist " leaning American politicians ,working within the TWO PARTY SYSTEM , never really think outside the box of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ? The meaning of SOCIALISM became blurred in this country some years after the triumph of the Bolshevik Russian Revolution of 1917. American socialist leader Eugene V. Debs was the last of the populist socialists to explain clearly the ABCs of the classic global socialist movement : the ABOLITION OF LANDLORD-CAPITALIST PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS . Debs declared " I am an American Bolshevik ! " GOOGLE AI search result on Debs as American " Bolshevik " . [ Yes, Eugene V. Debs did say that, though the exact wording most commonly recorded from his writings is slightly different: "From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet I am Bolshevik, and proud of it."He wrote these lines in a February 1919 article published in The Class Struggle titled "The Day of the People," just weeks before he began a 10-year prison sentence for violating the Espionage Act of 1917.The Context Behind the QuoteEarly Support for the Russian Revolution: When the Bolsheviks took power in Russia in late 1917, many left-wing activists worldwide viewed it as a monumental victory for the working class. Debs enthusiastically supported the revolution because it pulled Russia out of World War I, a conflict he fiercely condemned as a capitalist corporate bloodbath.The Canton Speech: In his famous June 1918 anti-war speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs publicly proclaimed, "our hearts are with the Bolsheviki of Russia." It was this speech that ultimately led to his arrest and conviction.Later Disillusionment: While Debs was a "Bolshevik" in his revolutionary spirit against capitalism, he was always firmly committed to democratic processes. Later, while serving his time in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, he learned more about the authoritarian measures, severe political repression, and suppression of free speech implemented by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik regime.Refusing to Join the Communists: Consequently, when the American socialist movement fractured, Debs refused to join the newly formed, Moscow-aligned Communist Party USA. He chose instead to remain with the Socialist Party of America, preferring democratic socialism over Soviet-style governance. ]
