      DemSoc?

      You have to be very careful what you mean by socialism. When I use the word I’m not thinking about Lenin for example. I don’t have any European models in mind. Bobby Seale talks of a Yankee Doodle-type socialism. I know what he means when he says that. It is a socialism created from the indigenous need of the people in the place. So that a socialism achieved in America, if and when we do — I think you have to say when we do — will be a socialism very unlike the Chinese socialism or the Cuban socialism. . . . The price of any real socialism here is the eradication of what we call the race problem.
