Well I'm not saying that FDR was a socialist, he was too patrician for that. Although many of his actions are suspect, especially with the benefit of hindisght. My point is that Hopkins was an active, possibly communist, influence on FDR.

Oh they had influence over him. But he was probably more independent then the international would have liked. Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter on the other hand took their direct marching orders from communist handlers( not sure who it was with Carter Wilson's handler was "Colonel" Edward Mandell House).
