There's a funny, almost semi-socialist in a way, current to Southern politics and culture (that is; the politics and culture of that part of the Southern population that is white and not part of one of the various castes which ran (run, whatever) the place) which usually runs beneath the ground but which surfaces from time to time. Debs, it's worth noting, did rather well in some white Southern counties. It is in no way an opposing force to racism or segregation; look at Long, Faubus and Wallace. Hey, even Ben Tillman exploited it.
