Again, Mark, the Democrats only acquired the support of the AFL and CIO unions from the 1930's, and it was only then that the CPUSA oriented to it in much the same way that Lenin and the CPGB earlier had towards the BLP. There was never any question of relating to the Wilson administration when there was an increasingly popular alternative to the left of the Democrats in the Socialist Party.
