The working class who fight the battles, who make the sacrifices-
The working class who shed their blood and furnish the corpses-
Have never yet had a voice in declaring war or making peace. It is the ruling class that invariably does both.
They alone declare war, they alone make peace.
Yours not to reason why;
Yours but to do and die.
That is their motto, that is their motto,
we object on the part of awakening workers of this nation.
If war is right, if war is right-
let it be declared by the people. You who have your lives, your lives to lose. You certainly, have the right, to decide the momentous issue of war or peace.
-Eugene V. Debs (from his speech in Ohio, June 16, 1918)
