Quote of the Day…11/26/08

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. - Norman Thomas

Note: Norman Thomas ran for president for the Socialist Party 6 times between 1928 and 1948.

It’s interesting that he and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party Candidate, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic parties by 1970 had adopted every plank on the Communist/Socialist and they no longer had an alternate party platform on which to run.
