VLVL (about Work) TUUL & Swope.7(a)

[Terrance]

"But that's just what you people NEED," Bloody Chiclitz interjects. Get
some business people in there to run it right, instead of having the
government run everything. Your left hand doesn't know what your RIGHT
hand's DOING! You know THAT?"

What's this? A political debate now?  Not enough humiliation missing the
Schwarzkommando, no, you didn't think you were going to get off THAT
easy....

In the meantime the IWW started a decline after the Russian Evolution,
and the split
widened on the question of political action.  In the early 20s the split
was finalized and for a time there were two groups, each claiming to be
the real IWW.  Workers were quitting the organization right and left and
the political action wing finally wound up in the new American Communist
Party.  By 1923 I was out of the IWW and was in NOTHING until 1928 when
I ran into Bill Foster's TUUL in the form of the National Lumber Workers
Union.  I found therein scores of my former "Fellow Workers" of the
Wobblies.  This union was affiliated with the RILU, which was the "Red
International of Labor Unions.[1] 

While I had joined the "party" in 1929, by 1936 I was having some second
thoughts
about it.  They were more and more becoming a mere appendage of the
"establishment".
They were beginning to support "progressive" candidates in both old
parties.  They began
to worship the "great Roosevelt-AFTER THEY MADE HIM INSTITUTE
Unemployment
Compensation, Social Security, and the like.  This was NOT a
revolutionary position, and I objected to this policy.  I believed in
Socialism-not "reformed" Capitalism.  However the revisionists of
Marxist-Leninism had their way, and the decline of the Communist Party
had begun.  From a peak of over 100,00 members it has declined today, in
1966 to less than 5,000.[5] 
        The first bad mistake was the setting up of a dual Federation of
Labor, the TUUL.[6]  This was contrary to the teaching of Lenin.  This
move removed the militants from the AFL thereby making certain the
continued rule of well known "labor fakirs" within that federation. 
Then came 1935, the year of the lumber strike. 
        The "Party" had dissolved the TUUL by that time and it was a
worse mistake to
dissolve it at that time than it was to set it up in the 1920s.  By that
time, 1935, the
industrial workers were screaming for an industrial union federation,
which later led to the organization of the CIO. 
        After the dissolving of the National Lumber Workers Union of the
TUUL the Party
instructed us to join the big "Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union."
AFL-which we did.  We
were then instructed to "gain rank-and-file control of this union.  We
were able to do this by exposing the sell-out of the leadership in that
strike.  Rank and File rule prevailed  so the Carpenters (the Parent
Union) simply jerked the charters of most locals in Washington, Oregon,
and some in Canada.  Now, had we retained our rank-and-file dyed in the
wool National Labor Union the history of the lumberjacks since 1935
would be entirely different. 
Next, the Party instructed us to set up a new union of lumber
workers-which we did.  It was the International Woodworkers of America,
CIO.[7]
