MORE ABOUT MEYERS ON MARXISM/SOCIALISM
Scope and Content Note: He and others in the Proletarian Party thought the American Communist Party was crazy and did not understand American workers when it called for armed insurrection in the United States. Meyers was very impressed with Lenin's Imperialism. A sympathizer of James Cannon and the Trotskyites because of their criticism of Stalin, Meyers, however, ended his relationship with the Trotskyites when Trotsky insisted the Soviet Union was still a workers' state. Meyers finally ended up as “just a trade union organizer,” who was called “a time-server of imperialism.”
