"When we get ready to take the United States, we will not take it under the label of communism; we will not take it under the label of socialism. These labels are unpleasant to the American people, and have been speared too much. We will take the United States under labels we have made very lovable; we will take it under liberalism, under progressivism, under democracy. But, take it, we will." ~ Alexander Trachtenberg (1885-1966) National Convention of Communist Parties, Madison Square Garden, 1944
