Norman Mattoon Thomas (Nov. 20, 1884 - Dec. 19, 1968) was a leading socialist, pacifist, and six time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. In a 1944 speech explaining why he need not run for president anymore, he said this..."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."
