Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trial of Scott Nearing and the American Socialist Society The printed record of Scott Nearing´s trial is of genuine value, not only because of the defendant´s lucid exposition of the philosophy of Socialism, but also because it presents an authentic record of an American political trial. In the venerable court room of the United States District Court, in the City of New York, a prominent Socialist, a scholar and writer, was on trial, ostensibly on the charge of a grave felony. For days he spoke to twelve men "good and true," his fellow citizens chosen to pass judgment on his guilt or innocence, and to a judge officiating as the representative incarnate of the austere majesty of American law. He spoke technically in his own defense. But he did not defend himself. His personal conduct and motives, his personal interest and fate were barely touched on. They were the merest incidents of the trial. It was of larger and more vital things that Scott Nearing spoke. He told of the wrongs and sufferings of the world of labor, and exposed the organized crime of its oppressors. With uncontrovertible facts and figures and irresistible logic he arraigned the ruling classes of all countries as the authors responsible for the ruin of Europe and the misery of the world. He spoke of the aspirations and ideals of the submerged masses of the people everywhere, and of their determined struggles to redeem mankind from the age-long horrors of oppression and slaughter. He expounded the gospel of International Socialism under the solemn sanction of the formal oath and under the partial guidance of the prosecuting attorney and the presiding judge.
