Norman Thomas (1884-1968) was a leading American Socialist, pacifist and six time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
As a presidential candidate in 1944, he said this in a 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 later said,
“I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”

God of the Universe says
don’t teach man to fish
just give him a fish per day
keep him holding his hand out

absurd thought –
God of the Universe thinks
BIG government is needed
people need a nanny
