Norman Matton Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading
American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the
Socialist Party of America. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in
1911. As a candidate for President of the U. S., Norman Thomas said, in a
1944 epoch 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 Democratic Party has adopted our platform."



Gee, Lu...you discovered norman thomas 40 years after he died.

Thomas was a very decent man, and a devout anti-Communist. Bet you
didn't know that. Bet you didn't know that George Meany was fiercely
anti-Communist. Oh...wait...you don't know who Meany was, right?

You must have been a hell of a racist cop.

There's nothing wrong with modern socialism. There are a number of
prosperous European nations that have adopted socialism and made it
their own.
