I blame the influx of Eastern European Jews in the early 20th century for assisting the proliferation of revolutionary socialist political philosophy in this country.

Of course, there was no shortage of native-born politicians willing to pander to them. And the suffragists, can't forget them. Until those folks came along, most American socialists seeemed to be utopian socialists who advocated their own separate communities, rather than imposing their views on everyone else.

I may be wrong factually, as I am no expert, but, oh well...

Does that count?

"Until those folks came along, most American socialists seeemed to be utopian socialists who advocated their own separate communities, rather than imposing their views on everyone else"

But it was Thomas Dewey, a non-Jew, who was most aggressive in introducing socialism in the American school system. He derived his ideas from 19th Century American leftist thinkers. Home-grown socialism in America has its own infamous tradition, quite apart from the influx of Eastern European Bolsheviks who came to this country in the early part of the 20th Century.

But your point was valid.
