Quote

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.

When I was in college, I was always saying I was a socialist.

I am not a socialist.

I was raised a socialist by two very socialist parents, and I still feel very animated about socialist principles.

Honesty compels me to say that I am not a socialist. But so what?

I am not a man of my party. I do not talk only to socialists and union leaders.

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I'm a socialist, and I'm not going to be ashamed to say it!
