I read recently that the Socialist Party was (in comparison to the IWW) quite racist.

mm. well many members were conscious of the fact that race is real & it matters at least back then. Debs was an exception and took the modernist (altho not quite post-modern) view about race.

No, here is what it was. The Socialist Party at that time was a mass party, and very pluralistic.  At that time people on the Right and the Left were in the Party. Debs was one of those on the left. Eventually the party broke and those on the Left formed the CP in the 30's, and the Right went either to the Dems or to other parties or just left politics.

Debs: True advocate of freedom. One of the greatest that America has produced, along with Upton Sinclair, Martin Luther King, et al. Sadly, his gripes (all of we socialists' gripes) are still extant. The deplorable state of affairs hasn't changed. The poor are still fodder; a means by which the jingoist, plutocratic oligarchs increase their wealth. America, awaken! Socialism is the only "people's" movement.

It's amazing how ahead of his time Debs really was. So many of his views are common play right now but back then they were considered radical.
