“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,” goes the apocryphal saying generally attributed to six-time presidential candidate Norman Thomas. “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.”
While this line’s origin is dubious, the prediction has been shown to be prescient, say many. And one of these observers, media analyst and law professor James Hirsen, has sounded an alarm.
“Our crawl to communism has us practically there,” he warns.

The signs are everywhere. A 2025 poll found that 62 percent of Gen Z’ers (ages 19-30) like socialism — and34 percent have a positive view ofcommunism. Whereas comic books once portrayed socialists and communists as villains, they’renow often presented sympathetically. Avowed socialist Hasan Piker, who has said “I like communism,” is currently a top left-wing political streamer and commentator. Reflecting this electorate indicator, there are now approximately 260-270 avowed socialists in office coast to coast, according to an AI analysis. And reading this dark room, the Democratic Partyhas begun openly embracing socialism.
Of course, this state of affairs would have been unthinkable in 1950s America. And what has happened since then to take us from McCarthy to Mao (or, at least, Mini-Mao)?
Addressing this, Professor Hirsen first laments that as with Nazism, murderous communism should have been relegated to history’s dustbin. Instead, the ideological monster just took a different form. As hewritesat Newsmax:
Just about the time when the 1970s counterculture appeared to be fading away, a quiet yet insidious revolution was set in motion here in the United States.
There was no red flag waving in the air bearing a hammer and sickle.
