Here's what Norman Matoon Thomas, US Socialist Party presidential candidate 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, and 1948 said in his 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".
