In a speech in 1944, Norman Mattoon Thomas [1884-1968], who was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time American Socialist Party U.S. presidential candidate said the following:
"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 what happened."
He further went on to say:
"I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform. . ."
