On of the plot points in Harry Turtledove's "How Few Remain" that I found most interesting involved the still living Abraham Lincoln becoming a Marxian Socialist who then founds a US Socialist Party. I understand that this was mainly a vehicle used by Turtledove to create the USSR vs. Third Reich analogy in the later parts of his TL-191 series though but I still find it an interesting idea. I have also read that this idea can be given some credit since the opinions of some of Lincoln's cabinet members where similar to socialist ideals. In my opinion though if any of Lincoln's cabinet members had the potential to become a socialist it was Andrew Johnson.

My challenge for you is to spread socialist ideals within the USA by whoever you can imagine, and by whatever means possible, with the movement being ultimately successful or not.
