In 1933 Democrat leaders decided to follow the socialist wave that had captured Europe. Since that time Democrats have been the Socialist movement in America.
Socialism did not sell. While Democrats were successful in implementing some essentials of socialism such as class against class, the progressive income tax, social security, and government schools, they failed to completely get rid of states' rights, and ti abolish private property and Constitutional rule of law.
The Democrats' blew it. They need to let it go and reform the party along the lines of its prior 1933 platform.
I don't expect this to happen because socialists' never go back. To show how far Democrats are out of touch they are obsessed with running Hillary Clinton, a '60s Marxist, for president in 2008.
I see no hope for the Democrats to survive as a viable political party.
