The workers who have made the world and who support the world, are preparing to take possession of the world. This is the meaning of Socialism… We demand the machinery of production in the name of the workers and the control of society in the name of the people. We demand the abolition of capitalism and wage-slavery and the surrender of the capitalist class. We demand… the equal rights of all the people regardless of race, color, creed or nationality. We demand… that all children born into the world shall have equal opportunity to grow up, to be educated, to have healthy bodies and trained minds, and to develop and freely express the best there is in them in mental, moral and physical achievement… We demand complete control of industry by the workers; we demand all the wealth they produce for their own enjoyment, and we demand the earth for all the people.

Eugene V. Debs (via electoralcollege)
