Quote by Norman Thomas
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 ever knowing how it happened.
Summary
This quote suggests that Americans may unknowingly embrace socialism, disguising it as liberalism. It implies that bit by bit, every aspect of the socialist program will be accepted by Americans, ultimately leading to the transformation of the nation into a socialist state, without realizing the gradual shift that took place. It implies that the adoption of socialist policies may occur under a different label, which could effectively shape the course of the nation's future.
