Quote #5 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and The Social Movement
“...the motive here is not to use unionism as a means of serving the capitalist class, but that the motive of the men and women assembled here is to serve the working class by so organizing that class as to make their organization the promise of the coming triumph upon the economic field and the political field and the ultimate emancipation of the working class.
["Speech at the Founding Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World," by Eugene V. Debs, Chicago, June 29, 1905, from: Industrial Workers of the World Founding Convention Minutes.]”
