Relevant to the "Democrat = Communist" discussion earlier.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. “A Thousand Days, John F. Kennedy in the White House”, pg. 688

"In domestic policy the philosophy of the radical right was well stated by Senator Strom Thurmond in a speech vindicating the right of the military to conservative political utterance: “If the military teaches the true nature of communism, it must necessarily teach that communism is fundamentally socialism. When socialism, in turn, is understood, one cannot help but realize that many of the domestic programs advocated in the United States, and many of those adopted, fall clearly within the category of socialism.” The social changes of the last generation were thus – ‘objectively,’ as the communists themselves would have put it – a communist plot. In foreign policy the radical right, like the radical left, derived much of its early impetus from the Bay of Pigs, though it drew the opposite conclusion. It now rallied behind Senator Barry Goldwater, echoing his opposition to a “no-win” policy and his call for “total victory”.
