Personally I don't think Norman Thomas makes a good Leninist leader for the USA. IIRC the socialist party of the US isn't Leninist or Stalinist. Personally I feel that the choice of leaders for Leninist USA should be between Earl Browder and William Z. Foster(this guy here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Z._Foster), and the choice between socialist/libsoc leader for the US should be either the SPUSA led by Normal Thomas. or the IWW
