Norman Thomas
Nov. 20, 1884 - Dec. 19, 1968
Was a leading American socialist,
pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate
for the 'Socialist Party of America'.
He said this in a 1944 speech:
"The American people will never knowingly accept 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.”
