The ACLU had a few co-founders, one of whom was named Norman Thomas. Thomas was also a co-founder of the Socialist Party of the USA when it was revived in the 1920s, and ran on their ticket 6 times for President of the US.
So there's a very close correlation between the ACLU and the Socialists of the US. They are working hand in hand to tear down the structures of this country.
An interesting tidbit is that Norman Thomas' grandson is Evan Thomas, one of Newsweak's editors.
