Debs ran as a Socialist in 1912 while in prison and got over 3,000,000 votes. Ultimate Socialism accepts Marx's theory of 'the surplus value of labor' meaning that in the production and distribution of all goods: the profit goes to those who do the work. So it is 'capitalism' (profit) but one that is decentralized and operates for the masses of people along with union representation, so the executives do not kidnap the company. It is not 'state capitalism' (the Soviet Union) nor is it 'corporate capitalism' (rich investors who control the company). Marshall Tito in Yugoslavia is the closest modern example.
