Eugene Debs says he is no reformer.
That has long been suspected. The
word reform, he says, is odious to
him. The word revolution, he says,
sounds better and means more. This
is in direct line with Debs. He is
destructive always, never constructive.
He would tear down, never build up
That is the reason he hates the word
reform, because it means improve
ment.
