Weekly Featured Profile
Harold Meyerson is an op-ed columnist for the Washington Post, and from 1989 - 2001 worked as Executive Editor and Political Editor of the LA Weekly. He is considered one of the most astute commentators on Los Angeles politics. Meyerson is also a long-time Vice-Chair of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest socialist organization in the United States. Who is this journalist and what is the extent of his involvement with the U.S. Left? With parents belonging to Norman Thomas's Socialist Party USA, Meyerson received an early introduction to Socialism. By 1968, at age 18, the young Meyerson was working as an aide to the Soviet-connected Senator Eugene McCarthy. His involvement with the DSA began around the early 1980s when he was listed as an at large Los Angeles Council member for the organization. In 1983 he was a delegate to a DSA Conference in NYC. Alongside leftist leaders Michael Harrington, Cornel West, Barbara Ehrenreich and others, Meyerson spoke at the DSA's second National Convention held in Berkeley, CA. By 1993, he was listed as a "key" California DSA contact. In a March 1998 internal memo, Los Angeles DSA leader Steve Tarzynski listed himself, Stanley Sheinbaum, Mike Davis, Meryson and others who he thought should "gather periodically to theorize/strategize about how to rebuild a progressive movement in our metropolitan area that could challenge for power."
