Question

"Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." What social class does Eugene Debs sympathize with?
A.the middle class
B.prisoners
C. the working class
D. the upper class

Answer 1

The working class is the lowest class "While there is a lower class i am in it". And the fact that he was a devout socialist leads me to believe the working class.
