I certainly don't want to put words into Jim's mouth, but I think what he means to write here is that many of the initial activists in and around TDU come from that tradition.
It is certainly not the case that most of the folks *in* the TDU do. The majority are regular Teamster members, some of which are normal Democrats or Republicans, and not belonging to any socialist tendency at all.
This is an important distinction to keep in mind, given the history of red-baiting against TDU activists.
