Norman Mattoon Thomas
He was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
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
Democratic Party has adopted our platform."
