 Max Shachtman biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
To some extent, the social programs proposed by the Lyndon Johnson administration were inspired by the writings and activism of intellectuals associated with Shachtman and the Socialist Party.
In the early 1970s, the increasingly right-leaning Shachtmanites seized the leadership of the party and changed the organization's name to "Social Democrats, USA." After the name change many of the older socialists of the Norman Thomas generation left the Party, as did the former Shachtmanite Michael Harrington.
Jeane Kirkpatrick was a member of the Shachtmanite dominated Young People's Socialist League when she was a university student in the 1960s and the influence of Shachtman's thinking on her can be seen in her liberal views on domestic policy and conservative anti-Communist views on foreign policy.

To fully understand the Bush doctrine, however, it is essential to understand that the philosophy of neoconservatism is far deeper than the whims of a foolish president to keep his corporate donors happy and ensure his re-election.
The “New Democrats” represent a similar faction in the Democratic Party to Tony Blair’s “New Labour” faction in the British Labour Party.

I was so happy when I found this statement from the Social Democrats, USA on their website:

 Jason Schulman on Joshua Muravchik -- Logos Summer 2003
Muravchik claims that Marx and Engels “reconnected socialism to the thrill of violence”—as if they ever supported violence for its own sake, or ever said that countries which were sufficiently democratic and non-militarized might achieve socialism by peaceful means.
The twentieth century’s exemplar of the radical-democratic “other soul” of socialism, Rosa Luxemburg, is dismissed by Muravchik as a “child of privilege” whose mantra was “the spontaneity of the masses,” an oft-stated myth.
But the whole point of socialism, when it has not been hijacked by authoritarians, is not the elite engineering of the “New Man,” but the full democratization of political and economic power; indeed, the end of power itself as the organizing principle of social life.
