Socialists See Opportunity and Opening in Present State of Democratic-Republican Party Government

From a letter to the editor of the Socialist Webzine:

I'm a new kid on the block, just joined the Party the other day. But I've been thinking about socialism as an alternative to whatever you wish to call the present American system of politics and government and at the risk of repeating something that you-all have said and, I hope, are acting upon: there never will a better time in your lifetime and certainly in mine to present an alternative form of government to millions of Americans who are fed up with Capitalism as manifested by the two-headed monster known as the Republican-Democrat Party.
