Van Valkenburgh, W. S. 1926-01-28
| Description: |
Copy of letter from Eugene V. Debs, 01/28/1926. Writes that he does not agree that Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman should have expected to receive the kind of treatment that they did in Russia. Says that there are other ways of dealing with counter revolutionists besides wholesale persecution, imprisonment, and exile. Tells Van Valkenburgh that he does not think that all anarchists would be silenced under a socialist government. Assures Van Valkenburgh that this would not occur when his brand of socialism attained power. Remarks that the time will come when there will be no government as the term is currently understood. |
