Socialism

Norman Mattoon Thomas after having run for President several times as a socialist said this in a speech in 1944.

"THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY ADOPT SOCIALISM.BUT, UNDER THE NAME OF "LIBERALISM," THEY WILL ADOPT EVERY FRAGMENT OF THE SOCIALIST PROGRAM, UNTIL ONE DAY AMERICA WILL BE A SOCIALIST NATION, WITHOUT KNOWING HOW IT HAPPENED, "HE WENT ON TO SAY: "I NO LONGER NEED TO RUN AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE SOCIALIST PARTY. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ADOPTED OUR PLATFORM."
