Bonus Question?

Who said the following?

"We are SOCIALISTS. We are enemies, deadly enemies, of today’s capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system, its immoral way of judging the worth of human beings in terms of their wealth and their money.”

HINT: His same-party rival began his political career by listening to a speech entitled
“How and by What Means Is Capitalism to Be Eliminated?” The two developed a political platform demanded guaranteed jobs, the “abolition of incomes unearned by work,” the nationalization of all large corporations and trusts, profit-sharing in all major industries, expanded old-age insurance, a government takeover of big department stores, the prohibition of child labor, and countless other “progressive” reforms.

You get double credit for getting both right!
