Warren Mar's interesting article shows how the path of I Wor Kuen, a very large Chinese immigrant and Chinese American Maoist movement in the late 1970's and early 80's, that was at first close to the Black Panther Party, and then became a key component of the League of Revolutionary struggle, one of the largest of the post Maoist parties in the USA followed a path into the union bureaucracy and the Democratic Party through the transmission belt of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow coalition. Their remnants are now a key part of the Democratic Party and union bureaucracy (especially Unite-Here and SEIU), especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. Warren represents an important, but not very publicly visible, trend on the left margin of the Democrats who have organized Asian workers into the unions, and then marshaled them behind the Democratic Party machine.
