From:






*Norman Mattoon Thomas ( November 20, 1884 - December 19,
1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time
presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America . *
*The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US,
Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: *
*" 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 Democrat Party has adopted our platform."*
