Accent on Life and the Parasite Debate in Society
In a crowded Alameda church, Big Bill Haywood challenged the view that preachers are mere parasites in society. Perkins helped bring the labor leader to speak on “Parasites in American Society.” Haywood argued workers are the core “working men” and warned that many professionals are unnecessary in the social order. The author reflects on who is more important, suggesting everyone is a cog in the wheel and condemning isolation from collaboration. Haywood died in Russia, misunderstood work prospects, and reportedly asked about the Cubs and White Sox among his final questions.
